Great for solo business traveler I arrived at the Sago Hotel after an unexpectedly long day of travel. I was in town for business Tuesday-Thursday and had to reschedule my Tuesday meetings so I was a bit stressed and weary after landing at JFK. When I arrived to Sago I was greeted by Matthew at the door who took my carry-on up the small flight of stairs to the front desk. When he asked how my flight was I told him a bit difficult, but what can you do about the weather! He was very sympathetic to the weary traveler. He took my credit card and ID to the back office as I waited in the quaint and cozy lobby area. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was once I was inside. I couldn’t hear any of the rush hour hustle and bustle of NYC. When Matthew returned moments later, he gave me news I couldn’t believe: Sago upgraded my room to a suite complimentary. It was the most genuine moment and I could’ve cried tears of joy, especially seeing the soaking tub when I got to the room! Throughout my two night stay, Matthew and the other woman (I’m sorry I can’t recall your name!) were so helpful and kind. I can’t wait to return to Sago for both business and personal travel. This is a gem of a boutique hotel. Also, two of the best nights sleep ever. Most comfortable bed. Thank you, Sago and the wonderful staff!

Great spot on LES! This is a terrific little boutique hotel in a great location on the lower Eastside. Our room was well thought out in its layout, comfortable, and very beautifully, minimally designed. The location in terms of restaurants and things that you can walk to couldn’t be better. The lobby is tiny, with the smallest front desk you could possibly imagine, but the staff was very helpful with whatever we needed. Our king bed was really comfortable and our room, overlooking Orchard Street, was remarkably quiet. We also had a tiny kitchenette, which was helpful a couple of times during our stay. The subway is just a block away, and it’s always easy to get cabs or Ubers out front. I look forward to staying at the Sago again.

Super service client Nous devions séjourner 2 jours dans cet hôtel, or notre compagnie à déposé le bilan, nous n’avions pas d’autre choix qu’annuler notre voyage. L’hotel Avec l’aide de hôtels.com a été très compréhensible et nous a annulé nos nuits. Un vrai service client de qualité! Bravo Nous reviendrons dans cet hôtel.

One of the best hotels in our travel experience Quite large room with kitchenette, frig, coffe/tea machine, very clean bathroom, everyday cleaning, large windows, excellent and very helpful staff, quite stable Wi-fi. Additional - luggage storage room, safe in the room, quite lounge, subway two blocks away, bus station on the same corner. Recommended!

Trendiges Hotel SUPER!!! Der Aufenthalt im Sago Hotel war super. Selten so nette und freundliche Mitarbeiter gehabt. Fühlten uns gleich wie zuhause. Zimmer wurde upgegradet!!! Rooftop Terrasse mit einem Mega Blick. Sehr sauber und modernes und cooles Interieur. Immer wieder, Tip Topp. Note 1+

Upgrade Your NYC Experience By far the most enjoyable hotel stay I have ever had in the city. From making my reservation, having to cancel that previous trip, being able to re-book with the same rate, then being upgraded to an amazing suite, this was one of the best trips ever. The room itself was so sleek, modern and simple, which totally fits my aesthetic. There was no excess furniture or decoration, and everything in the room was there for a reason. Being able to look out over Allen was such a treat, but the blinds provided the perfect amount of darkness for sleeping in. If you are looking for an A+ boutique hotel in the heart of downtown's restaurants/nightlife - this is your place. I loved being within walking distance to Whole Foods, Equinox Orchard Street, Round K and the Meatball Shop, and pretty much anything else you could want is right outside your door. And to top it all off, the staff was incredible. Make sure you speak with Matthew if you can. He's so willing to help and is an absolute star! Will definitely be staying there again sooner than later!!

Chic, Cozy Hotel Stayed a night in April and was happy to discover that it was conveniently located at a walkable distance to SOHO. The room was clean, and I loved the chic & modern interior. Got the basic/standard room and it was plenty of space since I was travelling alone. The lobby was also chill and had relaxing music playing to clam your nerves. Wonderful atmosphere. The staff at the reception were also super nice and helpful!

Fantastic location, modern, clean Boutique hotel I was so impressed with the staff, the modern, clean boutique hotel- well appointed and the beds are to die for! Exceptional location, loads to see and do, and 3 min walk to the Subway. You can be in the theatre district in 25 min. Staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the neighbourhood and had lots of great recommendations. I can’t recommend enough, and will be back!

Great local hotel located in the heart of Manhattan's revitalized lower east side. Super friendly and helpful staff! Clean, small, urban, minimalist rooms with a private rooftop terrace. Terrific location, many food, historic and entertainment options within blocks. Convenient to subway. Great value! Entrance sign is small and easy to miss.

Amazing hotel, highly recommended We have just returned from our stay at Sago hotel, we had a fantastic experience. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a larger room which was a great size and had a wonderful bathroom. The room came with useful amenities such as toiletries, safe, iron and hair dryer. The room was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, in particular Matthew, who we felt went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. The hotel staff gave great recommendations for local places to eat and drink. The location of the hotel is great, it is within walking distance to a number of different metro lines making it very easy to explore the city. We felt safe walking around the area at night. We would definitely stay here again and hope to return in the future. Thank you Sago hotel for a great stay.

Great location, and wonderful views. We received a wonderful welcoming from the staff at this Hotel on our arrival, and we were given an immediate upgrade to a Suite as a show of appreciation for the length of our booking. Everyone involved with this Hotel, are friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean, and the bed very comfortable. The location is ideal, and close to a subway line. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Tolles Hotel in idealer Lage für Business und Freizeit Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut und das Service war ausgezeichnet - fast familiär. Die Lower East Side selbst ist eine feine Umgebung, mit abwechslungsreichem Leben, guten Lokalen und idealer Subway und Bus-Anbindung an Midtown und auch Brooklyn. Tolle Dachterrasse mit freiem Blick in alle Richtungen.

Amazing Hotel and amazing location The Sago Hotel was amazing - the staff were excellent and lovely to deal with - located in Lower East Side which is a really cool area and great location. Our suite room was spacious and perfect for my family of 3 - great suprise as it was an upgrade on our arrival ! Many thanks Sago for a fantastic time in NYC.

Helpful staff, great location, can’t wait to return! We had an amazing stay at Sago. We were upgraded as soon as we arrived and made to feel very comfortable. They went out of their way to make us feel at home and provided recommendations and umbrellas! Perfect location - quieter than the more central hotels and lots of lovely individual shops and cafes to visit as well as being close to the subway. There is also a roof terrace that is unmissable at sunset. The Sago is definitely our go-to hotel in New York - we’ll be back soon!

Nice hotel I'm almost hesitant to write this review, because I want to keep this hotel for myself, and don't want it to become too popular. It's very clean, relatively spacious for nyc, and the service is great. I enjoyed that there was no lobby party scene like other nearby hotels. However, there IS room service available, best of both worlds in my opinion. I will stay here again!

Great Boutique Hotel in Lower East Side The Sago Hotel is in a great location and has all of the wonderful features you look for in a small boutique hotel. Personalized attention, relaxed setting, beautiful room; comfortable bed, all made our stay perfect. The fruit bowl in the lobby had the best pear I have ever had - would love to know what it is! Only minor suggestions would be to add a place for soap in shower or change size of soap so it doesn't fall and to improve lighting in bathroom or add light to makeup mirror.

Modern hotel with Excellent service, personal touch and superb location. The hotel has an exquisite design, from outside to bathroom details. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. My room was spacious, a little dark though. Marvellous roof top terrace with splendid views over downtown and uptown. Over all a highly recommendable experience.

Such a Wonderful Stay My husband and I had such an incredible experience at Sago Hotel last night. From the beginning, the staff was so gracious and friendly. We checked in very late and they helped bring our stuff upstairs and upgraded our room to a beautiful suite. The room was large, clean, with a large window and amazing view of the city. The decor is beautiful and tasteful, with easy-to-use appliances and an incredible spa bath. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The restaurant attached, Noga, is fabulous. It has a unique and charming menu and is well-priced. It's also kosher. Everything we got tasted fresh and delicious and looked *beautiful* -- it feels like they really put effort into every plate of food they bring out. We especially recommend the desserts, which are mouthwatering -- the carrot cake and pudding are fantastic. It was such a great experience at Sago.

Fijn hotel op een ideale locatie Mooi ingericht hotel met vriendelijk personeel. Wij kregen een upgrade qua kamer. Dat betekende een erg grote kamer met een keukenblok, een ruime badkamer en een groot bed. De locatie vonden wij ideaal. Niet te toeristisch en vlakbij Soho, Chinatown en Little Italy. Met veel leuke winkels en restaurants in de buurt. Bij een volgend bezoek aan New York komen we graag terug!

Minimalist calm This room was a soothing balm after a busy day out touristing in New York. Super close to the Tenement museum, walking distance to the Brooklyn Bridge and then a bit further to the 9/11 memorial, it's really well located. I was given a free upgrade on arrival and found my room to be a real treat. In particular the bathroom was lovely, with excellent water pressure. I found the bed and pillows very comfortable. The rooms match the photos.

Very comfortable room, friendly staff, great location. I was in New York City Saturday, February 9th, 2019 for a Lunar New Year's party. Inasmuch as February is often quite cold in the city, I Googled lodging near the restaurant where the party was to be held. I've done this before. My brother has thrown this party each year for forty years. It is important to me to have a place to rest after the festivities. This year I tried the Sago and was very pleased. It was a block away from where the party was to be held. After checking in, I walked around the area. This is the Lower East Side. The Sago is across the street from an important destination: The Tenement Museum. There is much history in this part of the city. The museum itself draws people from all over the world, as does Russ and Daughters Cafe. There is a fantastic LGBT bookshop a few doors down, many places for food and drink. It is a lively area for tourists and city folk alike. The Sago is a boutique hotel, no higher than five floors, I believe. I asked if I could visit the rooftop patio, and the man at the desk said yes. He showed me the elevator and up I went. I sat in the sitting room near the glass doors leading to the patio, poured myself a hot tea and slid a door. There are two patios, facing different directions. I explored both of them and enjoyed the pristine, sunny, winter breeze, observing the water towers any fan of the New York skyline seeks. My room was on the second floor. I went down there and rested up in anticipation of the New year's party. I fell asleep almost instantly. It's a good place to sleep. I felt like a king in a Dr. Seuss story, sinking into dreamland on a massive comfortable bed. The room was warm and, unlike almost any hotel room I've stayed in, it was steady in its warmth for my entire stay. Returning later that night from the party, the clerk let me in. When I checked out the next day I had a backpack on and the clerk asked me, without my prompting, if I'd like to leave it with the hotel for a few hours after checking out. I thanked him and said that was all right, but what impressed me was the offer. A guest, checking out, is still important to the Sago, and they realize that most guests don't leave the city right away after check-out. I will recommend the Sago to anyone visiting New York and will I will visit it again.

Disappointing We had stayed here before and been very comfortable, but when we returned to the Sago for four nights this month we had a number of small problems that added up to a frustrating, disappointing stay. In the bathroom, the shower door would open only with superhuman effort, there was dirty, discolored grout on the tiles and when you turned on the faucet in the sink, the handle came off in your hand. The light over the desk began blinking furiously the first night -- luckily that was fixed for the rest of our visit. No one could figure out how to turn on closed captioning on the TV, which I need because of my hearing impairment. And the outlet near the coat rack didn't work at all, making that part of the room very dark. We mentioned these problems to the front desk person when we checked out, but she didn't seem to be very concerned about them, which made us feel that we were not particularly valued as guest.

The Rare Mix of Price, Quality, and Service The minimalist, industrial grey motif of this hotel might not be for everyone, and the Lower East Side location is surely a matter of taste but there can be no denying that this hotel is a cut above. In particular, the staff were welcoming and dedicated to hospitality. Matthew was especially gracious. He jumped out from behind the front desk to help us in from the sidewalk. He was also a font of knowledge about the area, even typing and printing out an itinerary for us. We felt that nothing was too much trouble for him, and he had answers for every question. Every staff member we encountered, both in person and on the phone, was engaged and helpful. We were on the 4th floor in a King Orchard which was enormous by NYC standards and noise was not an issue. We loved the exposed steel beams and painted cinder block. The bed was excellent and blackout curtains were very effective. We enjoyed the 10th floor lounge, and can only imagine how glorious it would be up there in more temperate weather. If you are looking for a spot in the LES, look no further.

My FAVORITE Hotel This hotel is fantastic. Great location, clean, modern and the people are super nice. Starbucks is next door and they provide gym access for a place down the street. Great place to stay! The hotels on the Lower East Side be expensive but you can get a great deal and this place is totally worth it!

stayed 2x in past year Stayed in June 2018 with wife and teenage son in "suite" with kitchenette, sitting area, and sofa bed. On "back" of hotel overlooking quieter Orchard St. Never saw another guest in 4 nights, though I hear once once. Quiet, calm, serene with an industrial chic vibe -- dark, with gray painted cinderblock walls and exposed concrete. Stayed in January 2019 with other teenage son in small room with sofa bed overlooking busy Allen Street. Little street noise, however, but I wore earplugs; my son did say he sometimes heard sirens at night. Coffee maker in the suite, but not the small room. Starbucks opens at 6 am and is 20 steps away. Love the location -- after rush hour or on a weekend morning it's only 20 minutes in a taxi to/from LGA. Lower East Side is hoping, young, fun, with tons of good food, and an easy walk across town through Soho to the Village to Chelsea. Many subway lines nearby. Both times most of the staff were friendly, but also both times they appeared slightly inexperienced or not completely professional; not a problem, but something I noticed for some reason -- maybe only because it's such a small place and, unlike a Hilton, they don't deal with 100s of people every day. I will return every NYC visit, unless my business makes the LES inconvenient.

Amazing hotel!! My boyfriend and I stayed in the Sago hotel for our first trip to NYC for three nights in December. We arrived early but a friendly receptionist let us leave our bags there until our room was ready. Arriving later on we were greeted with friendly faces, told our room had been upgraded, given free wine tokens for the restaurant and I was even given some free perfume! Our room was spacious with a comfy bed, amazing views out of a massive window and furnished with toiletries. Our room was cleaned every day - this hotel was a real home from home for us so I definitely recommend this beautiful boutique hotel to anyone!!

Nice hotel in a good location Stayed here for 4 nights between Xmas and New Year. Hotel was good value for NYC and looked to be in a good location away from midtown and other areas. Staff were friendly and good to deal with. Room was nice and well appointed, with a daybed by the window. I would have preferred a chair but it was good anyway. Didn't use the restaurant or the rooftop, but the rooftop area looked nice and they told me i can take my own stuff to drink up there. For location, two subway stations within a few mins walk. Grand street station was about 3-4 mins walk away, and the train on that line runs down the center of NYC with stations to access most of the tourist things so i appreciated that and found it useful. Lots of cool bars and little restaurants around the area. Would stay there again.

Very last minute booking, staff made it relatively painless The Sago is a quaint little boutique hotel in the LES. We booked this hotel on about 15 minutes notice when a hotel down the street tried to give us a room in a basement with no windows. They didn't let us check in right away but we had plenty to do running around the city. The room was spacious enough for a couple staying one night in the city, the hotel itself was quiet but we did get some noise from the street outside, it wasn't unbearable but if you are a light sleeper try to stay away from the street and on a higher floor. All in all the place was great for a quick stay and the price was reasonable, I wouldn't recommend spending a week here, but a night or two is just perfect.

Fab Boutique Hotel Absolutely loved this hotel, what a find. Great to be away from the hustle and bustle of midtown but also lots going on in the area. The views from the terrace were gorgeous! The staff were lovely and the room was always cleaned.

FAB LITTLE HOTEL Absolutely loved this hotel, it had everything you could want. The room was spotless clean, the bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. The rooms are cleaned daily. Lovely staff. The room had a small kitchen that fitted in perfectly, there was a fridge, a small hob for cooking and also a coffee maker with extra pods of coffee. There was robes and an iron and ironing board.They have happy hour upstairs in the lounge I think it was 5pm-7pm and you could have a glass of wine on the house. Great little touch. My one complaint was that our room was on the 2 floor looking out onto a night club entrance /smoking area, and the noise at 2am in the morning was terrible. We requested a quiet room but this was what we got. Anyway would definitely go back. 🍭TOP TIPS 🍭 If your looking for a top quality candy shop with all the old favorites cheap!! Economy Candy is just around the corner and is Candy heaven. Coffee Lovers ☕️ I cant recommend Circle K coffee ☕️ enough. Its just across the road from the hotel. Take a left as you come out of the hotel. Cross the road in front and it’s on the right really small place but amazing coffee.

Lovely boutique hotel, great location My husband and I stayed at Sago hotel for five nights whilst visiting New York. We were upgraded to the 6th floor, which was a fantastic sized apartment with a kitchen/living area. The bed was large and very comfy, if you’re a light sleeper it may be wise to be equipped with ear phones whilst adjusting to the time zone/traffic noise - this wasn’t a major problem for us but we did wake up a few times. The city views from the room were great, you could see some lower and upper areas of Manhattan. We really enjoyed staying at the Sago hotel as our base and loved staying in the Lower East side, with an amazing choice of bars and restaurants. The seven day sub way pass was good value, with the metro station walking distance and approx 20mins up to central Manhattan (5th av), the hotel was walking distance to Soho. We would definitely recommend staying at Sago hotel.

Nice, but needs better maintenance Our apartment was comfortable and nicely designed, so no complaints on those aspects. But I can't give it 5* because there were lots of annoying little faults that should be picked up by maintenance, e.g. the light in the entrance area didn't work, the bathroom sink took about ten minutes to drain, and the shower head fitting kept falling off the wall. Just shoddy workmanship.

Leuk hotel Een leuk hotel met mooie kamers en een ideale ligging. Het personeel is er ook zeer behulpzaam. De kamers zijn niet groot, maar dat is normaal voor nyc. Verder hadden wij een kamer met een leuk uitzicht. Alles wat je nodig hebt voor New York te ontdekken.

Boffo Boutique Hotel Booked for two nights and we'll be back. Immediately we were upgraded to a suite and the staff made us feel at home. Not pretentious--just genuine friendly. Great location and quiet. Good beds and fabulous pillows (very important!) Our room was a bit dark due to the poor implementation of LEDs (I'm a lighting designer) but the huge window and bright bath made up for that. Fantastic shower head, BTW--came home and bought one. Thank you for a very pleasant stay!.

Best Hotel Stay Ever We stayed at the Sago for 4 days and enjoyed every bit of it. The front staff were always welcoming and helpful, the room was great with an amazing view of the Financial District, and it was also consistently clean. As for location, we were within reasonable walking distance to a metro station and There were great restaurants around in abundance. Oh I almost forgot, the Bed we slept on was incredible. I did not expect to get the best sleep of my life in New York City. I wish they'd respond to my email and let me know where I can get the bed but I guess no one's perfect. Still, I would definitely recommend the Sago Hotel to anyone visiting NYC.

Loved it the moon and back! We’re coming back!!! Very clean, friendly, stylish, good location, young, hip, cool, 360 rooftopviews, perfect stay!!! Close to Bowery, CanalStreet, Chinatown, Soho,... Not to busy. Thank you so much to the staff. You were great, keep on the good work.

Sago was worth it!! I did a bunch of online reach and picked the Sago Hotel. I was so pleased, I would highly recommend it! CLEAN, well planned details throughout the room. Enjoyed complimentary wine on the awesome rook deck in the afternoon. Matthew was a wealth of information to help us enjoy our weekend in NYC! I must admit that the outside appearance of the place was a bit underwhelming, but open the door and it's completely amazing and different inside!! Service was excellent, staff was very helpful and polite, couldn't ask for more.

Fantastic hotel I love this hotel. The design, the atmosphere, the neighorhood. It all works. My room was comfortable and clean. The hotel employees were fantastic and so accomodating. I cannot recommend this hotel any more. It really added to my stay in NYC.

Great place to stay and really well connected We stayed at The Sago Hotel for our last three nights in New York following our East Coast Road Trip. It only has 20 rooms and we were upgraded to a much larger room which was really comfortable and had a huge bed and a lovely bathroom (it was half a block long)! If you turn left out of the hotel, then turn left at the main road and cross the road you will find Green Star Foods, an amazing 24/7 Diner that is really great value for money. We had freshly toasted bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon for breakfast each morning for less than US$6 per person and their fresh fruit and squeezed juices were half the price of anywhere else we tried in New York.All of the rooms are fully soundproofed and the hotel is convenient for the lower Manhattan attractions such as the One World Tower and China Town. It is also less than 20 minutes on a direct subway to attractions closer to Times Square and Central Park. We loved the hotel and would stay there again if we visited New York. It is a luxury hotel but was priced more like a mid price one.

Great place to stay I found my room to be comfortable and staff was very pleasant. Location was great and had a variety of restaurants all within walking distance. Subway, Chinatown and Little Italy were also in walking distance.

Budget friendly, clean, and great location! Loved this hotel, would definitely stay again. The place was clean and intimate. Large room, not just for New York, but in general. The location is great, right in the heart of the Lower East Side, and also near several subway lines!

The perfect New York City hotel We stayed at Sago hotel for 4 nights and absolutely enjoyed our stay from beginning to bed! A true boutique hotel, it has only a handful of rooms which meant less people = a huge plus for us. We were on floor 6 (only room on that floor) so the room was beyond spacious (mini kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom) and was never disturbed by noise from the street or neighboring rooms, again a huge plus. The best part of the room though, the bed. It was ridiculously hard to get out of bed in the morning. SO COMFORTABLE! My S.O tends to toss and turn at night, not the case while staying here. The location was so convenient to the non touristy neighborhoods (east village, greenwich, soho, little italy, chinatown), which we loved! It was nice walking around and getting lost. The staff were all very accommodating but a big BIG shoutout to MATTHEW who went above and beyond for us and made us feel welcome and well cared for at all times. Management needs to promote that guy asap! I had never stayed in this area before but absolutely loved it! I would definitely choose Sago hotel again when I visit NYC.

Good moment in Sago! The hotel is a good hotel, very well located, the staff is extremely nice always trying to help when you need. The walls between the rooms are a little thin and you might hear your neighbors Thanks for the nice stay

Awesome and modern boutique hotel in central Manhattan This new Boutique Hotel in Lower East Manhattan covers all you need and adds this touch of luxury to your NYC experience. Very cozy and very clean rooms. Very friendly and ready-to-help-in-any-situation oriented staff. Really customer-oriented. Great location with direct access to Subways F, J, Z and M. Trains 6, B and D are accessible in a few minutes’ walk. Soho, Chinatown and Little Italy are just around the corner by feet. Whatever you need, you get it within minutes in the close area of the hotel. The rooftop bar itself is worth to come by. You have this awesome view on the Manhattan skyline. It is exactly what they tell you: “Stay elevated”. For me, there is no question: I will return!

Solid boutique hotel in LES My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and we enjoyed our stay. The location is the best part. Right next to Russ & Daughters Cafe (amazing! Go there early for breakfast!) and very walkable to shops and restaurants in lower Manhattan. The bed was pretty comfy. There's a restaurant in the hotel, but we didn't have time to try it. Staff was very nice. Our deluxe room had a huge soaking tub, which was HEAVENLY. Only negatives were the towels, not soft at all, but no big deal. And the water in the bathroom sink/toilet SMELLED LIKE SEWAGE. Very weird. But that's new york sometimes. Sometimes it's gross, but it comes with lots of awesome as well. Would stay here again!

Lovely hotel This is a very sweet boutique hotel in the most amazing location. Its small size means A+ personal service, everyone we met here was friendly and helpful. FAB views from the 10th floor balcony. Loved our room. We'll definitely stay again!

Gem in LES Great location in LES. Friendly staff, great room, quiet despite location. Comfortable red, great shower. Small but everything laid out well and thoughtfully. Restaurant downstairs was busy. I didn't get a chance to eat there but will when I return.

Awesome LES Hotel Booked 4 nights for a conference, and was immediately upgraded to a suite at no charge. Space was great, staff was friendly and accommodating. Only issue we had was that one of the showers barely got warm (the other worked fine), but it was a minor inconvenience. The location is great- close to subway and walkable to lots of great neighborhoods. I would definitely recommend the Sago, and plan to stay there again in the future!

Small well designed rooms and lovely rooftop terrace While you may not have much space, the rooms are simply and well designed. Sadly for me no kettle in the room for tea, but a shared terrace and coffee/tea station on the rooftop made up for it. The area is hip and there are loads of quirky eateries, cafes etc. in the area. Shout out to @hemlock across the road for a exceptional meal. The only thing to consider is that seeing the rest of New York from the lower east side can be a bit of a haul...

Cute Hotel in great location Stayed in Lower East Side for girls weekend trip. The Sago Hotel was super cute, comfy and conveniently located close to the subway, restaurants and bars. Matthew was extremely hospitable checking us in, offering us a free upgrade to a suite. They also serve wine on the rooftop at happy hour. Would definitely stay again.
