You see, RISE is a “membership-only” club, whose packages range from $50 to $750 a year; depending on the price level. Members can bring between one and four guests.

They, and anyone else lucky enough to have spent a night there, probably came away with the feeling that the two-bedroom facility was all but unimprovable. Not true. After a $2.5 million makeover, 1600 has reopened as the hotel...
...Pete and Pete,’ ‘Salute Your Shorts,’ and ‘You Can’t Do That on Television.’ ‘Pete and Pete’ was just so inane, and they had the craziest guest stars. Iggy Pop was a bus driver, and Steve Buscemi played the father of the girl next door….The soundtrack was awesome, and I have the theme song, ‘Hey Sandy,’ on my computer.” Kristen C. Keating...
