(0UTscene) HOTEL SPONSOR: SoHo's Art Deco paired with the Luxury of the James SoHo!

While in New York, focusing on venues for Gay weddings and receptions I was grateful to receive an invitation to a brand new property in the SoHo District.

The James New York  is conceived and designed as a locally inspired, community focused and environmentally thoughtful Art-Deco hotel. Outdoor spaces throughout the hotel include an Urban Garden and rooftop pool deck and bar. I loved the rooftop croquet setup!

A two-story glass wall in The Sky Lobby offers views of the Urban Garden along with area views of the neighboring sculpture garden. The hotel features expansive and unobstructed city views, with a panoramic rooftop vista of both the East and Hudson rivers. In homage to the creative neighborhood it calls home, The James New York features the work of local artists both prominent and up-and-coming.

I was treated to lunch at the adjoining David Burke Kitchen and sampled some appetizers of a combo of Maple bacon, dates and peanut butter on a mini skewer, that would go perfect with the Big Day of your reception at the James NY in SoHo.

After a modest lunch of Brick oven Margharita Pizza,  came a chocolate Peanut butter Cake. What great way to end my visit at The James!
