No food item is more New York than the New York bagel. Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Some like ‘em well-baked or dark on the outside, others not so much. Some call them Jewish donuts, some call them belly bombs. Now, if you get one right out of the oven and too hot to bare-hand, man alive: Is that a steamin’ hot bite of Heaven or what??!! Throw some cream cheese on there or a healthy (?) dose of butter and be prepared to enter the Pearly Gates of Bagelry.

Every room has views of the Hudson River and either Midtown or Lower Manhattan. Yet despite the near-waterfront location, the Standard doesn’t feel remote. Most of the meatpacking district hot spots are in shouting distance. And the proximity of Eighth Avenue and 14th Street means subway and bus options are many. The High Line, the city’s newest park, which is scheduled to open this spring, is (literally) under the hotel.

The Coney Island History Project, founded in 2004, is a not-for-profit organization that aims to increase awareness of Coney Island's legendary and colorful past and to encourage appreciation of the Coney Island neighborhood of today. Our mission is to record, archive and share oral history interviews; provide access to historical artifacts and documentary material through educational exhibits, events and a website; and honor community leaders and amusement pioneers through our Coney Island Hall of Fame. Emphasizing community involvement, the History Project teaches young people the techniques of oral history and develops programs in conjunction with local schools, museums, and other organizations.
