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.

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.
