Alexandra’s – The Imperial Floor

so pretty. .. piggy is a fan! (and, apparently, a walking MOHG advert? oh whoops, sorry, wrong hotel) piggies love pretty venues like alexandra’s (^(oo)^)
let us take a step back to review the following proof:
*SF parties (and attendees) generally err on the casual side
*glamourous cocktail dresses are most definitely not casual
*piggies always wear glamourous cocktail dresses to parties
*therefore, piggies are generally overdressed for SF parties
this is one of the few venues where the tables are turned! piggy’s glamourous cocktail dress looked right at home. the floor-​to-​ceiling picture windows, high vaulted ceiling, plush carpeting and soft lighting meant that, for once, anyone in jeans likely felt underdressed. .. . can we have more parties here please? even the security team is classier; piggy would like to draw attention to the fact that they cleared everyone out at night’s end with significantly less belligerent yelling than she has experienced at a number of other clubs (^(oo)^)v
most unfortunately, cash-​only bars are a definite one-​star deduction; piggies like to get amex points for their drink purchases! plus, the closest ATM is all the way back down in the lobby! there should be a sign or something to alert people (and piggies) to get cash before they get in the elevator. .. while it does offer quite a nice view of union square, it’s doubtful anyone would feel the desire to ride it 3 times in the span of 5 minutes, wouldn’t you agree?
if you’re a smoker, deduct another half star for having to brave the elevator (again? hmph. piggy suspects elevator repairman conspiracy afoot!) as there’s no smoking area up on the Imperial Floor itself
