How are we already in April? Greetings from the W Hoboken. I’ve stayed at this hotel dozens of times and am loving the remodel. The Urban Suite that I’m in feels fresh and fun. Happy Easter and Happy Passover to those who celebrate. I’ll be with family in NJ tomorrow. In travel news this week, we saw Trump want to privatize the TSA, United roll out a basic Business Class fare, lots of upcoming menu changes, The Standard head to Austin, and much more.
