Steam Case with Draining Tray
This is awesome. I have only used it in the microwave as of yet, this weekend is the oven challenge with chicken tenders. Veggies & fish come out great! Nice to steam asparagus by the pound in 4 minutes and have them lay flat.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?
Great Microwave Product
Lekue products are great but the manuals are not very clear. I have used this product for steaming veggies and they turn out great. Check your microwaves wattage then find a conversion chart. All the recipes from this company use 800W microwaves. I like to experiment and with a few tries have had great success with this steamer/cooker. It is easy to clean and store. Some people have had trouble with the silicone retaining food odors. A little baking soda wash removes odors.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?
Love it!
So much nicer than using my traditional stove-top asparagus steamer. It's faster, cleaner, and I think the taste is better, too. I was able to achieve the perfect "doneness" so much easier. Wish I had purchased two.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

YouTube video: Historic Homes of Knoxville presentation
They stand after years of wars, storms, recessions, neglect and urbanization. Once they protected pioneers, housed statesmen, welcomed young brides, sheltered growing families.
Together seven historic house museums in Knox County form a 200-year timeline that includes 18th century settlers and a 20th century socialite. The nonprofit organizations operating them strive to survive and diversify to last another 200 years. That's a challenge that's not only financial; greater awareness and volunteer support are also needed.
"The first buildings in Knoxville were not banks or hotels or convention centers. They were homes. We tell the story of who we are and what we are and where we came from through these historic homes," says Brett Grimm, trustee of Crescent Bend House & Gardens.
The story began when America was young. In 1786 settler James White built a two-story log house and kitchen on what is now State Street. It was frontier land; two years later White built a stockade around his home. In 1791 he sold lots to establish a town that fellow settler William Blount would name Knoxville.
White's contemporaries were building, too. After President George Washington appointed Blount governor of the new Territory of the United States South of the River Ohio, Blount built his "proper wooden house" in 1792. Made of sawn lumber instead of logs, the two-story building was territorial capital and statesman's residence. If White's fort was Knoxville's start, Blount's mansion was Tennessee's birthplace. Leaders gathered there in 1796 to draft the state constitution.
In 1797 Col. Francis Alexander Ramsey moved his family into a two-story home of limestone and marble called Swan Pond. About the same time Ramsey was settling in at Swan Pond, Tennessee's first governor moved south of Knoxville. John Sevier owned land he called Marble Springs as a retreat and farm; he moved there permanently about 1800.
Two antebellum house museums on Kingston Pike are connected by the family who built them. In 1834 farmer-merchant Drury Armstrong built his brick Crescent Bend at today's corner of Kingston Pike and Neyland Drive. Two decades later he gave son Robert Houston Armstrong nearby land for a home. Robert and bride Louise Franklin Armstrong named their 1858 building Bleak House.
No Knoxville house museum tells a three-generation story like the Mabry-Hazen House at 1711 Dandridge Ave. Joseph Mabry's two-story wood frame house was occupied by Union and Confederates during the Civil War. The house's last resident, Evelyn Hazen, died in 1987.
Each house is open to the public, though hours and admissions vary. They show historic objects and antiques, from John Sevier's desk to Confederate Gen. James Longstreet's sword to 20th-century businessman William P. Buck Toms' antique silver collection. Except for Bleak House, which relies entirely on volunteers, each site pays one or two full-time workers. Executive director salaries range from slightly more than $20,000 to less than $50,000. Some places also hire part-time help.
Like any owner of a very old house, those who care for the buildings fret about maintaining old roofs, replacing old windows and preserving old wood. Replacing Ramsey House's roof would cost $100,000 — more than the site's annual budget. James White's Fort has raised $13,000 through its ongoing "Buy A Shingle" campaign to replace some buildings' roofs; Executive Director Sam Maynard says another $20,000 is needed to fix the rest. Blount Mansion Board President Nancy Kelly worries about deferred maintenance and the "fragility of our old building."
Funding for most homes is a mix of public grants and private funds. "Grants are a privilege to receive but they are not something you should always count on. There's no guarantee they will be there next year," says Mabry-Hazen Executive Director Calvin Chappelle.
Bleak House and Crescent Bend don't ask for government funds. Wedding rentals bring in most of the $50,000 needed annually to keep Bleak House open.
For Crescent Bend it's a matter of philosophy. "We think we should make our own money without asking (for government funds)," says trustee Brett Grimm. "I'm never going to say 'never.' But we are sticking to our guns for now."
Grimm thinks historic houses that get tax dollars should save 10 percent of the bequests. "You can't just look at paying the bills today; you have got to look at paying the bills down the road."
The historic homes' private money comes from ticket sales, membership dues, benefactor donations and special event proceeds. Some properties have endowments, saving accounts or investments; operators say those nest eggs got hit by economic downturns in recent years. Some sites have dipped into savings to pay the bills.
A slow economy hits the sites another way. Less disposable income often means fewer visitors, donations and members. Yet even in good times no historic house museum survives by opening the door and waiting for visitors. If Mabry-Hazen depended only on admission to reach its $80,000 budget, 16,000 paying adults would have to visit each year. That's more than triple the people who now come to the house for tours, special events and fundraisers.
At Ramsey, ticket sales comprise about 10 percent of the budget. "That's important to us. Several thousand people go through here a year, but we cannot operate just on tour money," says Executive Director Sherrie Shuler.
"Properties are going to have to be innovative and come up with new ideas on how to make money," says Elliott McNiel, executive director of the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities that administers Ramsey House and 13 other historic properties. "You have to get out and tell your story."
Bringing in people who've never visited and enticing past visitors to return is important. Some events — like Blount's monthly First Friday open houses and Marble Springs' period workshops — are more friend-makers than fundraisers. Along that line Ramsey House plans to create walking trails on its acreage as a free place for people to exercise.
"We don't want to be an island; we want the community to use us," says Shuler. "Still today, even though this museum has been operating 60 years, I have people come here and say, 'I've lived here all my life and never been before.'"
The biggest recent financial boon to any Knox County historic home are six-figure grants awarded Ramsey House and Blount Mansion. Both are embarking on campaigns to raise required matching funds.
A $250,000 federally funded Save America's Treasures grant is the foundation of a restoration and improvement plan at Blount. Under the plan, the 1818 Craighead-Jackson House next door would open as an education center and rental space while the mansion itself would be restored and repaired. The grant requires Blount to match the $250,000. That is part of a $1.5 million capital campaign, now in its 'quiet phase,' that has already raised some funds and gears up again in early 2012.
At Ramsey a campaign will raise money to match 20 percent of a $677,190 Tennessee Department of Transportation grant. The money will build a transportation museum whose building also will be used for musical events, education programs and rentals. Construction won't start until Ramsey raises the required $135,438.
Six houses — all but Bleak House — belong to a Historic Homes of Knoxville partnership, which offers property directors a way to share problems and pool efforts like marketing and advertising. The group's best-kept secret is a $20 combo ticket good for admission to all six sites. Last week HHK's first fundraiser, a lunch with Tennessee First Lady Crissy Haslam as speaker, grossed $7,100.
"I think we are at the early stage of a revival of these historic homes," says Grimm. "The priority is getting out the awareness there is a need. We need people to give time, and we need people to give money. Any amount of either would be appreciated."
"If the fundraising challenges and volunteer challenges are not met, these properties will eventually go away," says Shuler. "So we have to be very proactive to finding ways to meet these challenges."
"Some people might say 'Why do we care?' " says Marble Springs Executive Director Anna Schaad Chappelle. "Because this (Marble Springs) is the one place of its kind, just like the other historic homes are unique. Once it's gone, it's gone and will be gone forever."

2008 was a great year for gaming, featuring blockbusters such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4. But along with the classics, a number of rubbish games were released. We've rounded up the 17 games you should definitely stay away from.
6: Legendary
Legendary, a first-person shooter where you battle mythological enemies such as Minotaurs, Werewolves, Golems, and other fearsome beasts that manage to crawl out of Pandora's Box, was supposed to be indie developer GameCock's big title that made the gaming world take it seriously.
Legendary had some stiff competition this year with other shooter behemoths being released such as Resistance 2, Call of Duty: World at War, Left 4 Dead and Far Cry 2. But even if it were the only FPS to be released this year, it'd still be a rotten shooter that's not worth your time.
5: Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice
If you thought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had some nasty pro-Bush/overdone 'patriotic' messages for the US snuck in there - with its quotes from Condoleezza Rice among quotes from Thomas Jefferson and JFK - then get a load of this game. Not only did this game place players in the role of acting as a meat shield for the commander in chief, it played like a shooter plucked straight from the PlayStation era. In the line of fire, indeed.
4: Hail to the Chimp
Like Legendary, Hail to the Chimp also comes from Texas-based independent game developer GameCock. And like Legendary, it also fails to deliver a gameplay experience even remotely good. Hail to the Chimp is undoubtedly one of the least fun party games we've played, making slop like Carnival Games for the Wii seem not so bad in comparison.
3: Homie Rollerz
Homie Rollerz is one part Mario Kart, one part Vato, and all parts incredibly rubbish.
2: Imagine Wedding Designer
Coming from a long line of vaguely sexist video games marketed towards female gamers is Imagine Wedding Designer for the DS. Imagine Babyz and Imagine Fashion Designer were bad, but Wedding Designer is equal parts horribly boring to play and offensive to the senses.
1: Bus Simulator 2008
Yes, we've played Bus Simulator 2008. And yes, it's exactly as kill-yourself-boring as it sounds. Even our bus simulation obsessed reviewer couldn't recommend it...

Today's guests:
chief information officer
National Archives and Records Administration
Innovation is a buzz word in federal Washington. But what does it mean really? Harvard University recently called the National Archives' Citizen Archivist Initiative one of the best government innovations. NARA chief innovation officer Pam Wright says it's about getting the public to help the agency organize its treasure trove.
former director
Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation, DHS
Over the past decade, the Department of Homeland Security has poured money and resources into securing the nation's borders. Illegal immigration to the United States has dropped. But a new report suggests one might not have much to do with the other. John Whitley is a former DHS official and one of the authors of the Council on Foreign Relations report "Managing Illegal Immigration to the United States."
senior fellow
The Competitive Enterprise Institute
What might be the nation's most critical infrastructure is mostly out of sight. It's the system that produces and delivers drinkable water to every tap. The water system needs hundreds of billions of dollars in upgrades from federal, state and local agencies who don't have the money. The Competitive Enterprise Institute believes a different approach to traditional government contracting can help solve the problem.
program manager
Federal Energy Management Program, DoE
President Barack Obama has directed agencies to spend $2 billion on performance-based contracts to improve energy efficiency. Energy Savings Performance Contracts let agencies carry out green projects without investing money up front. Changes are coming to how they operate.
From Our Reporters
When it comes to stopping sexual assaults in the U.S. military, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says he agrees with President Barack Obama: There's no single silver bullet. But he believes one root cause is a breakdown in commanders' accountability. Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu has more.

Kellogg Company Outlines Its Strategy for Growth.
"We are determined to achieve new growth in our ready-to-eat cereal business and continue the rapid global expansion of our convenience foods business," said Arnold G. Langbo, chairman of the board and chief executive officer.
Kellogg's strategy includes:
* Leadership in product innovation. Kellogg announced that, early in
1999, it will introduce a new premium line of cereals called Country
Inn Specialties as well as a new fortification program in many of its
cereals called K-SENTIALS(TM). Many more product introductions in both
cereal and convenience foods are planned for later in 1999.
* Strengthening the company's seven largest cereal markets: United
States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Germany, and France.
These markets represent 80 percent of Kellogg's global cereal business.
In 1999, the company's cereal marketing investment for these countries
will increase at a double-digit rate.
* Accelerating the growth of its convenience foods business. Kellogg
will focus both on expansion into new markets and increased penetration
of new distribution channels, including single-serve channels such as
convenience stores, gas stations, vending, and foodservice. "Globally,
convenience foods is now more than a $1.6 billion business for Kellogg
Company and we believe it will continue to grow substantially," said
Carlos M. Gutierrez, president and chief operating officer.
* Developing a more focused organization. A recent initiative in
Kellogg's headquarters and North American operations has created a
simplified, focused, and more accountable organization, aligned much
more closely with the company's growth strategy. Sustaining and
continuing to improve this organization is a high priority.
* Continuing to reduce costs. Kellogg expects to save over $150
million in 1999 from initiatives undertaken in 1998. The company also
estimates capital spending to drop from about $400 million in 1998 to
about $270 million in 1999 and about $250 million in 2000. "We are
totally committed to make 1999 the year when our earnings performance
begins a consistent pattern of year-to-year increases," Gutierrez said.
Kellogg Company also announced today the appointment of W. Stephen Perry as vice president -- tax, internal auditing and treasurer of the company, effective January 1, 1999. Perry's responsibilities will include investor relations. He has served as vice president -- taxes since joining the company in January 1997.
Kellogg Company is the world's leading producer of ready-to-eat cereal and a leading producer of other convenience foods, including cereal bars, toaster pastries, frozen waffles, and bagels.

Letter from Washington
Party Unfaithful
By Jeffrey Goldberg
The West Wing of the White House tends to have a funereal stillness, even in the best of times, which these are not. The President's aides walk the narrow corridors with pensive expressions and vigilantly modulated voices. By contrast, Karl Rove's office has an almost party atmosphere…

Your past coming back to haunt your job?
Not sure if this is an art discussion or not but I figure it'd make more sense to post in the Lounge instead for casual discussion's sake.
So I've been recently laid off from my concept artist job and in my downtime, I figure I'd repolish what skill I haven't lost yet, pick up some commissions on the side and things like that when a topic I had with the project director rang in my head again.
If you made some not-so-right doodling choices in your younger years, would it affect your ability to get a creative job when you're older?
Let's just say when I was younger I had drawn and posted online rather adult if amateurish cartoon porn, the teenage hormones besting common sense right there. Though I had outgrown the pahse, have wiped out what I had largely in protest of how the fandom terribly handles itself, everyone now and then someone will post them up somewhere with my real name and sig still attached.
The internet, after all, never forgets, never forgives.
In my discussions with fellow artists and directors about this, their responses are from both sides of the fence.
- Some say I just shot myself in the foot with a punt gun.
- Some say as long as I do something awesomer than, I'll be fine.
- A few say no one actually cares as long as you do your job right.
As a kid I was brought up on this urban legend that companies will do a background check on you to see what manner of mischief you've been up to then reserve the right to terminate you on those grounds. While I can understand that Disney and Pixar might do that to preserve the wholesome image, does it really happen in the game development circles?
So, what's your opinion?

a. employers sneak in the right to terminate for no reason at all in your application/contract.
b. have you seen comic books or laura croft lately ? it seems most of the entertainment industry falls just short of porn anyway id say unless your working for a highly religious company i dont see a problem
November 29th, 2008 #3
Google yourself. What comes up on the first 2 - 3 pages is probably the only thing potential employers will look at, if they even do that.
When it comes to getting into medical/law school or getting a job where you will be a high profile figure, then yes. They will definitely look you up on Facebook, Myspace, and Google to see what a regular background check doesn't show them. When I was doing my med school interviews, they actually asked me about art as a hobby because they had Googled me.
However, if you're applying for jobs as an artist, I doubt people are really going to care as much. Even if they do look you up and stumble across it, it's pretty defensible as something you did as a kid.

Short answer? Highly unlikely that anyone will give a shit. My first children's book editor wanted to take about Japanese porn art all the time. No big.

They can use your interests to try and determine what type of person you are. They're often just as concerned with personality as they are with grades and MCAT scores. Similar to the way some game companies are concerned with whether artists can work well in a team.
November 29th, 2008 #8
I agree with chachia. google yourself, and you will know what they see. any employer will probably check the first few hits.

November 29th, 2008 #9
I have a funny story. This guys who was in my graphic design degree lied and cheated us all, using other peoples art for about 2 years, winning prestigious contests and the like. Anyway, I never forgave him, hes a right little fucking weasel. Luckily Stockholm Sweden is pretty small, so word got around and i think he sells mobile phones now. From time to time, ill Google his name, just to see what comes up. Its kind of like sucking air in to a cavity just to see if it still hurts ya know?
ANYWAYS, he somehow got the job of art directing the semi-raunchy MOORE magazine when he got kicked out of school, probably by lying and bullshitting. Then he got fired later for something, god knows what. SO he made a (what i assume is a semi-in joke) death threat one day to the staff whilst walking in to the office, that's at least what the MOORE editor wrote on his blog.
So when you Google that assholes name, the first thing that comes up is his old boss writing that has threatened to cut his throat. In joke or not, any potential employer is gonna see that, and seriously think twice. Good one!
I wouldn't cross the street to piss on him if he was on fire by the way.

Hurr, my name googled turned up results for comic book DB's website which I didn't know I was credited for, and more on some Singaporean bowler.
Maybe I should include my full name on my DA and other galleries to make it stick.
Thanks all for the feedback everyone.

I don't think having drawn porn is going to put any spokes in the wheels for you when it comes to finding work. I know of a lot of artists who seem to be able to find high profile work _while_ also drawing porn. Fans might look up your old stuff though. There's probably going to be internet archeologists in the future, digging up stuff for the lulz.
Clients might be deterred by finding out that you... for example, used to make portfolios with other peoples work to get a job. A lot of people in the gaming industry know each other, so that kind of information will travel word of mouth.

What gets you a job is the portfolio you present. Don't include things you don't want someone to see and judge you off of.

I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education.

Ooh, no apple cider, that's tough. My little sister is making some today with friends so I'll pick her brain later.
I too love bringing in the fallen branches, leaves, acorns… This year we tried to process and eat some acorns but without much success. The biggest change in my house is the food though – from salads and frittatas to squash soup and chicken pot pie. :-)

I am in love with Fall, I love the colors of the leaves when they change. We live in the desert far from any changing leaves, so I buy Fall leaves and scatter them throughout the inside and outside of my home. Visitors are always stunned when they arrive and see the leaves all about the floor and tables… It's so exciting and I look forward to that every year. Your blog is wonderful thank you for sharing all of your wonderful inspirations!

I turn on the electric fireplace in my studio church building. The furnace is turned down, so there is a little chill inside (now that our daytime temps are below freezing). Yesterday, I sat sewing as warm air blew on my feet and legs, and my kitty curled up on my lap.

Thanks for the inspiration!
I have a blackboard in my hallway. It's great for a poem about daffodils in spring, bare branches in autumn, or for a Valentine message in February. When I feel creative, I draw something on it.

I always put up our chocolate coloured curtains (since I got them) in the fall replacing our light, cream-coloured ones used from May to October. I put a rug down in the hallway and change the pillows in the livingroom to darker colours and warmer fabrics. I also change our bedding and of course change our light duvet for the warmer one. Still haven't done that, though. It was warm her until recently. Will probably wait until we get back from Europe. Hope it isn't too cold in Germany. I also intend to knit a type of patchwork throw for the cooler months. All my throws are just a little too on the small side.

Wow, I'm a simpleton, I guess, because I don't do most of those things! I dislike owning duplicates of items when I don't really need to, like with pillows, rugs, or candles. I keep my seasonal transformations simple — adding my favorite cashmere throw to the back of the sofa, and changing out the bedding. I do love these suggestions, though; they're very thoughtful!

To make cider at home, I take one or two bottles of apple juice and dump them into a large pot (the size you would use to boil corn or potatoes). Then you can either just let it simmer until it cooks down and becomes thicker OR instead, add one can of frozen apple juice. Be sure to add in a handful of cinnamon sticks, cloves, and anise seed pods. Let it simmer on the stove. It makes your home smell delicious and tastes pretty good too!

I love to switch out my blankets for big, fuzzy, warm cozies. I also throw up some heavier curtains and opt for a more cinnamon-y scent range.
I finally live somewhere cold (not agreeing with me so far…), so I'm going to try a dinner party with mulled wine and all sort of fall/wintry goodies.
You've beat me to it with your Wikipedia link, but I'm all the more inspired now!!!

Hi there !
I've given my living-room a Fall look with pillows, scented candles (I have one that smells like wood fire ! Almost as if we had a fireplace in the room !) and blankets, and also with a little super simple piece of DIY art with a deer head shape in a fake wood vinyl paper on a canvas.

My switch to fall usually consists of changing pillows and throws and flowers. I might change up an accessory or print here and there too. Not too much but just enough to cozy things up a bit. Great tips and I love your photo examples.

I bring in as much of nature as I can. Once it gets super cold I know I won't be out much, so I have to get my nature fix indoors. That means potting herbs from the garden for overwintering, hanging vine wreaths my dad made, topping the mantle with stones collected from the beach, and hanging up lots of woodland shots throughout the house.

My favorite apple cider recipe is actually a mxi of cranberry juice and apple juice or cider, with cinnamon stick, whole cloves, 1/2 lemon, and brown sugar. It was in Southern living years ago- 1998.
I actually make it in an old percolator- juice goes in the bottom. Spices, cinnamon sticks, and lemon go in the basket.

All these posts about fall is making me feel very eager to hurry up and cozy up my home. I usually do this as well, but it has been warmer for a longer time than usual here in Washington State, but it is starting to get cold now. I love candles and this is when I start lighting them up and I flip the switch for our gas powered fireplace. I change the throws and pillows on my sofa as well from cotton to velvet. I really like velvet. I think I might like to try a few new cable knit pillows this year. I do the same as you and just change the pillow covers. And my favorite drink is carmel apple spice from Starbucks, but to save money, I buy my own homemade apple cider from the grocery store, add carmel, a cinnamon stick and heat for a sweet warm cozy drink.

This is just a perfect and yummy way to describe candles and their colors: "Candles that are white, lilac and ice blue in the summer are exchanged for ones that are medium gray, plum, turquoise and cream. I also add in a bit of chocolate to warm up the palette." Makes me hungry as well as wanting to layer everything in plums and chocolates. In the fall I swap out throw pillows and pull out blankets and bed linens that are deeper in tone. I love pulling out quilts that have been hiding all summer, too.

I love cozying up my house for fall! I usually swap out some of my more colorful decor for more neutral accessories, like warm oranges, browns and even a little blue thrown in. I also have to mention that I love Halloween decor, I am always excited to put out my little halloween knick knacks…and I love to be a little cheesy too and put up some cobwebs!

Since I've moved to England, I find lots of chestnuts and always seem to have some in a dish–on the piano, or on the coffeetable. I love how glossy they are, and how their colors change as they dry.
The smell of baking gingerbread and lots of candles in the evenings makes it feel very cosy.

Oh dear, I know I'm a bit late commenting, but – do they have the plain apple cider in Germany at all? I suppose you could use apple juice. I usually buy plain apple cider in the fresh juice section & then simmer it in a saucepan on low (about 10 min) with a wedge of orange stuck with 2 cloves, along with 2 cinnamon sticks. I know some prefer to spice it up more, but I like it simple :) If you are feeling frisky you can pour a shot of brandy in the bottom of your mug!

Hi Holly,
Love the recommendations – I was just going to suggest a cheaper alternative to the Annick Goutal scents for those of us in Europe (I can't quite stomach 35 EUR or whatever for a candle ) – Durance. They are a French brand similar to L'Occitane but much much smaller (and cheaper). They might have locations in Germany. They have a Noel line of scents, in addition to a huge huge line of candles and scents (about 30). I just picked up a pine scented one yesterday for 13 EUR – even cheaper than l'occitane. And their perfumed sachets are todiefor.

I LOVE this time of year, pulling out all of the seasonal home decorations! Wonderful ideas in this blog I hadn't thought of (like changing out the sofa throw). It's hard for me to "change things out" in home (like rugs, etc.), that coordinate with the season, but this has helped inspire me! Thank you!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ray1977 I hated it!!! I will never ever return to any hotel of your chain. I was put in a room near a room that was in construction. The renovation guy was drilling and grinding and I could feel and hear it just like if he was in my room. He started early in the morning so he woke us up. When I called Guest services, they told me they knew but that the guy could not stop. I asked why put the rooms around available if they know there would be so much noise! The person I talked to was condescending just like the guy who was keeping our luggage and the guy that helped us check out.... from A to Z it was bad. You should teach your staff how to be more customer oriented. It was pathetic. 4 star the hotel? I never ever received such attitude from so many people in a same place. February 21, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by Zunirah Good for business This is a good hotel for business travelers. The rooms are quite large for New York, and the room I had (at the end of a corridor) was blessedly quiet. The location can't be beat. I wasn't impressed with the fitness center, however -- it's small, crowded, and insufficiently equipped with machines to satisfy demand. I went down around 6:30 AM ready to plunk down the fee only to find that every single treadmill, bike, and elliptical machine was in use. Attendant said I'd have to get there when they opened at 5 AM if I wanted to be sure of getting on a machine. Even though I didn't have outdoor running gear I decided to hit the streets rather than waste time waiting for some equipment to open up. February 20, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by JDNJ An uncomfortable stay We checked in while the hotel was hosting a large conference. At the "preferred" desk, we waited nearly 30 minutes for the clerk to attend to our registration. When we got to the counter, he was full of explanations about how the hotel was sold-out, which we really didn't care to hear, since we had a confirmed reservation. After much unnecessary fuss, he did get us a room in a good location (corner of the 17th floor). But when we reached the room, we found the heater very noisy; the television not working; and the carpet filthy. When we pulled out the Murphy bed, the space behind the headboard was really dirty (not just dust had accumulated, but trash). The carpet was strewn with what looked like children's cereal. We had to keep the heat low so that the noise wouldn't keep us up. And we didn't have time to ask the staff to come fix the tv. The room itself was comfortable. Without the bed, we had two leather arm chairs with ottomans and a sofa and a desk with two chairs. The view was lovely, the bathroom spacious. But given the unclean conditions; the front desk staff's slow and hostile service; and the general unfriendliness of the stay, we won't be back. February 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Traveler311 Great hotel in great location We love this hotel for few reasons... The staff is very nice and accommodating. The location is fantastic, close to Time Square and theaters. Has a club lounge that adds to our comfort. Rooms and showers with new and great design. February 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fran32 Excellent location!!! We celebrated our daughters' 7th birthday with a trip to NYC and an ice skating escapade. The location was excellent. We were minutes from Central Park and Times Square. Our family enjoyed our stay, here at the Sherton New York Hotel. The staff was exceptional. They were friendly and always courteous. However, we were not pleased with the bathroom asthetics. The bathroom had an odor. We were not certain if it was the nearby foyer carpet or the lack of the venting system in the bathroom. Whatever the cause, we hope this situation gets rectified. Especially, since the hotel boast about being newly renovated. We probably should have made our concerns known but did not want to ruin the experience. Overall, it was a great experience and would recommend this site. February 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ann1234 OK but not great I asked for a room far away from elevators and ice machines when I made the reservation some weeks in advance. I called them the day before to let them know I'd be arriving late at night and that I was concerned that I would get stuck with a room near one of the aforementioned sources of noise. They assured me that it would be no problem. When I finally get to my room, it's four doors away from the elevator. Ding! Ding! Ding! all night long....I was there for a conference and too tired that night to drag my stuff downstairs and too busy the rest of the time to deal with it. Hotel was jammed full b/c of the conference also. Other minor annoyance: not replacing the tea bag every day until I left a note for housekeeping staff. February 17, 2013

Rated 3 out of 5 by Merrill Good overall but had housekeeping issue this trip I frequently use this hotel -- great location, good rates, and nice rooms. This trip I had a housekeeping issue and was so pressed for time I did not have a chance to call the front desk about it. When I went to take my shower before checking out and pulled back the curtain, the shower had used soap and open bottles of shampoo etc there. I really hope the bathroom was cleaned before I checked in -- someone clearly forgot to clean out the shower. But, I was running so late I did not give Sheraton a chance to come in and fix it. Next time, I'll pull back the curtain when I arrive. February 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sally22 Recent Stay Location great, room good size. Staff friendly and accommodating. Comments: cleanliness - my room was not vacuumed, and the bathroom, although product replaced - shower and floors not cleaned. There were hairs all over tub and floor. Used product was not removed from the shower. Additionally, the fitness center has an additional charge which i didnt think fair when spending almost $400. Then for 2 days in the morning, not one pice of equipment was available February 14, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by BarbaraM Excellent choice, Sheraton is a home for visitors Me and my mom planed this 5 days trip for her first visit to NY. I decided to stay in Manhattan so that we can be near the most important attractions in the city. We could not choose a better place to stay. Sheraton NYC is very centric, just a couple of blocks from Time Square, Radio City, 5th Ave, Broadway, St Patrick Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, Trump Tower, Apple Store, LOVE sculpture and much more. We would walk everywhere even in the cold weather.The cleanness and service was very impressive. We order room service almost every day and I never had a faster sevice before! Rooms are beautiful and comfortable, newly renovated. However, the bathroom was kind of smal. Check in was quick even if they has long lines all day every day... I don't know how they accomodated all that people, it was full! However, there was not noise in the halls, we slept in peace! We arrived on the blizzard alert day and the staff kept us constantly informed about the weather conditions and news. They will let a message on the room's phone with al the updates, that was very nice, it make us feel safe. In terms of price, location, service and infrastructure this is one of the best choices.
