Room T at The Dutra Inn - Little Italy
“I thought about changing this whole thing to just read: Napoleon slept here. Room T is kind of like the little spoon of The Dutra. Or maybe like a precious package tucked under the building’s right arm? But no, despite popular opinion, the T doesn’t stand for tiny. Room T is big enough for your wildest ambitions and your coffee in the morning. There’s approximately 1,000 cupboards here—all presumably concealing tiny French dictators or perhaps, hidden treasures." IG: @the.dutra
