Nestled in the side streets of SoHo in New York City, the Crosby Street Hotel is chic and colorful, with a distinctly British flair curated by the interior designer and founder Kit Kemp. While the hotel’s restaurant, just to the left of the main entrance, caters to well-to-do families visiting the city and celebrities like Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler grabbing breakfast, it has also increasingly drawn a very particular crowd: Venture capital investors.
I had heard that the 14-year-old hotel is the go-to hotspot for VCs to take meetings and to stay when visiting from out of town, so I decided to scope it out over some coffee and green juice one morning in early August.
