On The Street: Partying with April 77 at The Jane

story Alex Frank

The Jane Hotel was an early 20th century haunt for sailors and seamen, and now it’s a spot for a different kind of hard-living, big-drinking bunch. Archetype Showroom and April77’s party at the recently renovated hotel was a tad fancier than the hull of a ship, but the revelry and vodka chugging around Jane’s lush couches and potted ferns was definitely like an Old World throwback. Re-imagining that seafaring past in nautical stripes and summer whites is obviously the stylee way to go, even though some of the crowd were probably more yacht club than navy yard.
