The ratepayer advocate — which is housed in the Office of Public Accountability — now sits in on closed-door board meetings, after previously being shut out. The report did recognize that the DWP has “hardworking” and “smart” workers. And it offered several recommendations, including regular reviews of employees and managers and a stronger role for the ratepayer advocate. “Everyone we spoke with agreed there is a significant accountability problem at the department,” the law firm wrote in its 95-page report, using italics for emphasis. The report, prepared by the law firm Paul Hastings, doesn’t offer earth-shattering revelations about the corruption scandal.
The Ned, a Luxe Membership Club Born in London, Is Coming to D.C.
Not all these cities will likely get a Soho House in the next few years, but the CWH is a pretty reliable road map of what cities are leading contenders for where the company might eventually open a new location. CEO Andrew Carnie talked to TPG late last month about what's next for the brand, how to keep members happy and what it takes to stay at the center of the cool pool two decades after arriving in North America (and nearly 30 years after first opening in London). Grasmere House is expected to have a similar vibe as Soho House's more refined U.K. Countryside offering, Babington House, as well as some of the fun offered at Soho Farmhouse. It's also expected to include multiple bars and restaurants, spa and wellness facilities, guest bedrooms and a litany of outdoor activities. There are now more Soho House locations in North America (14) than the brand's home base in the U.K.

“It’s been one of my goals, to be a part of the Soho House collection,” Gaines told me over the phone a few weeks after I saw him dropping off his painting. “That’s why I wanted to hand deliver the piece, and not have my gallery deliver it.” He grew up in Chicago and was familiar with the Soho House there. He’s also visited locations in Paris and New York—and has seen their art collections. For Gaines, being in the same broader collection as Mickalene Thomas, Theaster Gates, and Damien Hirst was a major honor. During warmer months is when the rooftop comes alive with a small but fabulous rectangular pool lined with lounge chairs and beautiful people.

Trump’s comments came at a key moment in the debate over Ukraine spending. Opening statements will start Monday in the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president. The flames continued to burn for a few minutes before a New York police officer ran toward Azzarello with a fire extinguisher.
Humphreville said that he sees “an element of fear” among staff at the utility, who don’t want to lose their jobs or perks by bucking the system. The feeling at the DWP is “if you don’t play by the rules, [you’re] going to get screwed,” he said. Since the corruption scandal became public in 2019, some moves have already been made.

“Slashing members would help the brand but hurts profit… seems like a broken business model,” a director at Glass House Research, the firm behind the report, told The Post. Meet Ned’s Club Washington D.C., an elite downtown club where members will mix and mingle across three upper floors formerly home to iconic institutions Riggs Bank and American Security and Trust Company (734 15th Street NW). The Ned, birthed in 2017 by a pair of Soho House bigwigs as “a space for the discerning” in London, expanded to NYC and Qatar’s capital of Doha in 2022.
Not only has it hosted comedian James Corden’s 2012 wedding and Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne’s 2014 nuptials, it's also a beloved vacation getaway for the likes of Courtney Cox. "It's taken quite a long time, but I'm really flattered that they're beginning to do that," Jones said with a laugh. "There's no shortage of brilliant places to go in Mexico City, and we're very humble about that," Jones said while conducting a video interview from the soon-to-open location. "But what we have to do is really raise our game and make sure that what we're offering here is something which is different." Addressing overcrowding is something the Soho House leadership team takes "very seriously," Jones added.
The Bunny Hive is committed to maintaining its high standards and ethos. Its selective process, accepting only 30% of franchise applicants, ensures that each new location upholds the brand's principles—principles that Soho House also upholds to ensure exclusivity and quality. This commitment to quality and exclusivity is what sets The Bunny Hive on a path to sustainable growth.

Upscale extras include REVO Heritage Sound Systems, Egyptian Cotton sheets, bathrobes, and slippers. Bathrooms have walk-in showers with rainforest steam and showerhead systems, an abundant spread of toiletries with everything from deodorant to toothpaste to tampons, and an impressive range of Cowshed products in full-size bottles. These are free to use but guests will be charged the full price of the bottles if they take them upon departure. President Biden signed into law a $95-billion military aid measure Wednesday that includes assistance for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and has a provision that would force social media site TikTok to be sold or banned in the U.S. In essence, The Bunny Hive does more than fill a gap in childcare; it redefines the concept by blending the luxury and communal spirit of Soho House with the practical needs of family life. It stands out from other play spaces by providing a consistent, upscale experience that enriches the children and adults in their lives.
Members are "creative" types, while Wall Street types, supposedly, aren't welcome to join, but that doesn't mean that Soho House has an absence of monetary worth. There's a distinct whiff of pretension that can come and go, which isn't from the staff -- they are friendly -- but rather from some of the members themselves. While others did directly exchange work for their stays at La Colombe d’Or, Picasso only gifted the hotel a few “cracking” paintings much later.
