And it was all yellow

New York, United States

In hospitality

Rows of bright yellow Picnik tables line the pavement outside The Standard Hotel in New York, with a yellow taxi and brick city buildings in the background.

Everybody knows New York is famous for its yellow cabs. However, when you turn around the corner at the Standard Hotel, it’s not the yellow cabs that stand out, it’s the funny yellow tables.

The hotel once parked a multitude of our colorful Picnik tables at their entrance, which immediately boosted the community to take a seat and get to know one another.

We for sure would rather get to know someone at a yellow table than in the back of a yellow cab!

If you’re already imagining your next Insta-worthy photoshoot, you're going to be disappointed. The Picnik tables have been moved and no longer stand at the entrance of the hotel.

We can assure you though that this part of the city is still worth the visit. The Standard Hotel is built over a former railway that now acts as a green corridor through the concrete jungle!
