There aren’t many people who have watched more Denver Broncos film over the last few years than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Ever since he became the starting quarterback in Kansas City, Mahomes has played the Broncos twice every year, and he’s become very aware of how the team goes about its business.
That came in handy on Monday night during his cameo on the ManningCast broadcast of the game between the Broncos and the Buffalo Bills. Midway through the second quarter, Denver found itself in the red zone, and Eli Manning asked a pair of simple questions: Will they score, and how will they do it? Mahomes took things a step further, saying he expected a pair of runs before a “hard play action on third-and-short that’s gonna get a touchdown.” Here’s how that went:
Now, Mahomes didn’t quite get this perfectly, as the play action that ended in a touchdown came on fourth down. Still, he damn near called this perfectly, and to make up for it, the play action that ended in a touchdown required an absolutely ridiculous effort by Russell Wilson and Courtland Sutton.
Reputations are hard to shake for public figures, and as the age of saying goes, a lie spreads much faster than the truth. However, that’s not stopping Lauryn Hill from working to clear up a recent misconception. On Saturday, November 11, the “Ready Or Not” singer took to her official Instagram to provide context for the previous comments made about her past lateness during concerts.
A short clip taken during Hill’s scheduled The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour stop in Los Angeles, California (on November 4) at the Crypto.com Arena went rival. In the video, she can be heard saying,” ‘Oh, she’s late’ and ‘She’s late tonight.’ Yo, y’all are lucky I make it to this bloodclot stage every night.”
Fans were upset by Hill’s remarks calling her out for not appreciating concertgoers’ time and support throughout her career. Now, Hill wants to take back the narrative by uploading the extended video to give background to what led to the spicy line.
The visual starts with Hill tearfully professing her love to her mother for her assistance raising her children while she continuously tours the world to provide for her family. By the time the line in question comes up, based on what was said prior, Hill’s frustration seems to be toward the industry for its poor treatment of her rather than her fans.

During the question and answer portion of the show (at Boston’s Wang Theatre) an audience member asked Seinfeld whether he likes “The Finale.” He responded: “Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending. But I can’t really tell it because it is a secret…Here’s what I’ll tell you, OK, but you can’t tell anybody. Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. Hasn’t happened yet. And just what you are thinking about, Larry and I have also been thinking about it. So you’ll see, we’ll see.”
Fast forward to the present and Jason Alexander — who played George Costanza on the show — was asked about the potential reboot in a red-carpet interview with Extra.
“No one called me. Apparently, they don’t need George,” Alexander quipped. “They may not need Elaine, because Julia (Louis-Dreyfus) and I went, ‘Do you know anything about this? I don’t know anything about this,’ and I just talked to Michael (Richards) the other day and I don’t think he knew anything about it,”

For all fans worried about the state of the Seinfeld reboot, we have one thing to say: “Serenity now!”

The New York Knicks and Boston Celtics squared off at TD Garden on Monday in what was potentially the most anticipated NBA matchup of the evening. The long-time Atlantic Division rivals also put together an entertaining contest, with the Celtics taking an eight-point lead into the closing period at home. While the result was still in doubt in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, Knicks forward Josh Hart made the game all the more memorable with a play that you simply do not see often on a basketball court.
Hart caught a pass from Jalen Brunson in the left quarter with Celtics guard Jrue Holiday attempting to close out and prevent an open three-point attempt. Hart then began to raise up as if he was firing a three-pointer but, well, the video can only do it justice.
— CJ Fogler account may or may not be notable (@cjzero) November 14, 2023
Hart let Holiday fly by him and, before landing himself, managed to throw the ball off the defender in mid-air. Then, Hart let the ball bounce before he gathered and calmly connected on a wild three-pointer.
Needless to say, this may not happen again in the NBA all season, and it took some tremendous creativity from Hart. It also required a bit of luck in the way that Holiday closed out and, if not for Hart making the shot, it may not have garnered the same level of national traction. Still, this is one that earned the attention, and it was a phenomenal play.
Today (November 13), Oberst announced his bi-coastal, Conor Oberst And Friends Residency, which will kick off in 2024. Beginning in March 2024, Oberst will gather fans in Los Angeles and New York City for intimate shows. Both venues, Teragram Ballroom and Bowery Ballroom, are locked in for four performances each.
Oberst shared his excitement for the series of shows in an official statement. “I am very excited about these residencies. This is something that my booking agent, Eric, and I have talked about for years, but the timing was never quite right. The stars have finally aligned, and I couldn’t be happier. It will be a lot of work putting together a different band and set every week, but it’s a challenge I think will be rewarding. Luckily, I have lived in both New York City and Los Angeles off and on for many years. I have a lot of musician friends to help me out. It will be an experiment, for sure, but I’m looking forward to it. Not completely sure how it will all turn out, but that is the best part about it,” said Oberst.
View the full Conor Oberst and Friends 2024 residency schedule below. Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 17, at 10 a.m. local time. Find more information here.

A new report from ABC News details some of what was being schemed behind the scenes in the White House in December 2020 after Trump lost the election to Biden in the previous month. Ex-Trump attorney and noted fart-sniffer Jenna Ellis, claimed in testimony to prosecutors in Georgia that “the Boss” was essentially planning to squat and refuse to leave, based on what one of his deputy Chief of Staff told her.
ABC News has obtained portions of videos of the proffer sessions of both Ellis and Sidney Powell, two attorneys who aided Trump’s efforts to overturn the election. The videos for the first time reveal details of what they have told law enforcement since agreeing to cooperate last month in the district attorney’s election interference case.
Ellis, in her proffer session, informed prosecutors that senior Trump White House official Dan Scavino told her “the boss” would refuse to leave the White House despite losing the election, and alluded to two other instances she said were “relevant” to prosecutors — but appeared to be prevented from disclosing those in the video portions obtained by ABC News due to attorney-client privilege, which hindered portions of her proffer.
You can watch a snippet of Ellis’ testimony below.
For what it’s worth, an attorney for Trump, who of course has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing in the Georgia case, gave a statement to ABC and called the “purported private conversation” detailed by Ellis in her testimony “absolutely meaningless.”
The disbanding of Brockhampton hasn’t slowed down its founding member and “What Should I Do?” musician Kevin Abstract. Earlier this month, Kevin released his latest album, Blanket. Before the body of work hit streaming platforms, Kevin held a secret concert for his most devoted fans to preview his fresh new sound.
Today (November 13), Kevin took to his official Instagram page to announce a run of West Coast shows. The four-city run, titled Heights, Spiders, The Dark Tour, will kick off on December 14 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Across the remaining dates, Kevin will stop in Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, and more. It is unclear if Kevin will bring any special guests or supporting openers on the road. Also, given Kevin’s focus on his solo career, fans are curious if he will add any of Brockhampton’s past songs to the Heights, Spiders, The Dark Tour setlist. The only way to know is to attend.
View the limited-date run for Kevin Abstract’s Heights, Spiders, The Dark Tour below. General sales for each show will begin tomorrow, November 14, at 10 a.m. Pacific time. Find more information here.

Manhattan certainly isn’t short on great places to stay. There are scores of “Hotels We Love” in the city, with more popping up every year. But finding a hotel that best suits your vibe? That might take some effort.
To help you find your dream spot to rest your head in the city that never sleeps, we’ve rounded up 10 of the Big Apple’s best accommodations and fit each one with the energy it brings. Simply peruse the list below, find the one that best suits your style, and you’re ready to book.
Best for Hip-Hop Heads – Dream Downtown
Dream Hotel
To say that Dream Downtown is the best hotel for lovers of hip-hop is, if anything, an understatement. Right downstairs you have Phillipe Chow, which is the preferred restaurant of rap royalty (and shouted out in scores of tracks). Next door is TAO nightclub, another iconic spot, beloved by rappers and featured in many a verse. Plus you’re downtown, so if you’re keen on chasing down the restaurants and bars named in your favorite tracks, you’re in the right place.
As for the hotel itself, the rooms are modern, sleek, and sexy — with cool porthole windows in the rooms and some very cozy beds. Upstairs is PHD — a club where models dance on the furniture and the (very spendy) bottles are always popping. Downstairs is The Electric Room, a moody British bar that exudes cool (it might seem off-theme for this article until you connect rap’s link to the stylish British rockers of the 70s).
You could be forgiven for missing it but there’s also a whole dang beach (imported sand and everything) with a glass-bottomed pool that looks into the lobby. A pool that looks into the lobby and sand carted in from some other beach? That might be the best (publically available) riff on rap’s excess in the whole city.
— Steve Bramucci
The Bottom Line: This is one of the most stylish hotels in the city with an in-house restaurant that plays hip-hop classics for hip-hop’s brightest stars. It’s a hell of a lot of fun to stay at!
Best for Mainstream Cool Kids – Virgin Hotels Midtown
Virgin Hotel Midtown
Okay, I’ll just say it right now: I like midtown. It’s a nice… middle ground for all the places I like to go in the city — Central Park, Harlem, Downtown, Broadway, the Village, etc. Plus I like to be close to Times Square. Not in the “I like to go to Times Square as an activity” but more because “I like to walk through Times Square for the energy.” You can like the madness of Times Square without like hanging out at the world’s biggest TGIFridays or taking photos of the naked cowboy or whatever else Times Square gets roasted for.
If you like to be in the thick of it all, like me, this brand-new Virgin Hotel is a cool in the best ways. It’s so so clean (see my rant about hotel cleanliness here) and very stylish. The moody, modern public spaces feel vaguely British while the rooms themselves are bright, airy, and simple. They’re spartan and slick, sure, but you want those qualities in an affordable hotel room because those sorts of rooms are easier to keep clean. (By contrast the Ace, just a block away, did the industrial design thing which felt cool and raw for a decade or so but now feels sort of dingy and mildewy in the wrong ways.)
Everdene, the property’s in-house restaurant, does classic cocktails with precision and attention to direct, clear flavors. I trust the Manhattan or negroni or paloma that you’d get from this team 100 times out of 100. The food is similarly on point, with the pork empanadas being an absolute “must order.”
— Steve Bramucci
The Bottom Line: If you like being where all the action is (the cool kid action and the tourist-driven action), then this is the perfect choice. It’s cool and sleek and (for Manhattan) the price is excellent.
Many of the things I love about staying in Midtown in general could also be said about the Langham, 5th Avenue, in specific. It’s accessible, connected to the past, and scenic. In 2022, I was on the property right after they opened The Langham Club and have rarely felt so well taken care of. The space is perfect for Digital Nomads like me who need to work and want to get out of the room.
Sipping espresso while ensconced in bookshelves and peering out the window over the city sure didn’t feel like I was grinding. It felt like I was living right and hustling in all the best ways.
The hotel is appointed with paintings by Alex Katz, the rooms are adorned in mahogany, and the house restaurant, Ai Fiori, is both classic and inventive — I recommend the rabbit tortellini. The pillows and linens got a special shout in the 2022 Uproxx Fall Travel Hot List but it’s actually the bathtubs that made me fall in love with the property. If there’s a deeper tub in Manhattan, I certainly don’t know about it.
Many baths have a view — which is doubly seductive and just feels like a dream when the rain starts to patter in Midtown.
— Steve Bramucci
The Bottom Line: Go if you like the intersection of comfort, space (the hotel is one of the most spacious in the city — from the floor plans to the sweeping Langham Club), views, and accessibility. Or just go for the pillows and sexy tubs.
What’s better than dining at one of the city’s most sought-after restaurants, then rolling up to your room to pass out, no cab or Uber required?
For foodies looking to indulge in the lap of luxury, a stay at The Dominick is a no-brainer. Located on the western edge of the city’s SoHo neighborhood, this 46-story property offers breathtaking views of the city skyline and Hudson River, as well as easy on-foot access to the West Village and Tribeca neighborhoods. Best of all, The Dominick’s on-site restaurant, Vestry, promises direct access to an unforgettable meal. Spearheaded by Australian-born chef Shaun Hergatt, Vestry’s vegetable and seafood-focused offerings (think Yellowfin Tuna Tartare with sesame crisps, and spicy sauce, Wild Mushroom Risotto with honshimeji mushroom, chive, and vin jaune, and of course, caviar service) are served up alongside signature cocktails and an extensive wine list (which is heavy on the Grower Champagne offerings!)
In addition to views and eats, The Dominick guests also benefit from custom-designed furnishings from Fendi Casa, floor-to-ceiling windows, soaking tubs, a 24-hour fitness center, seasonal outdoor pool, fully stocked mini bars, in-room Nespresso machines, and more.
— Vicki Denig
The Bottom Line: Let’s not get it twisted. The Dominick is definitely one of the pricier places to stay on this list, but who doesn’t love to pamper themselves in Manhattan? If a splurge is in the cards, snag a room here and thank yourself later.
There are many entities that go into making a hotel go from good to great, but in our book, the easiest way is with a solid on-site bar. Enter The Beekman, home to one of the city’s swankiest and most unforgettable cocktail bars. Set in a nine-story, Victorian-inspired atrium, The Bar Room at The Beekman mixes up some of the city’s best drinks, broken down into a Classic Cocktail Collection and the Bar Room’s signature Cocktail Collection, with steakhouse-inspired bites served up by Tom Colicchio himself.
Snag a fruit-forward 6 PM in Osaka, made with Haku Vodka, Dolin Blanc, Angostura Bitters, passionfruit, and orgeat for a fruit-forward libation, or spring for the Emily Roebling, made with Ragtime Rye Tom Colicchio Single Barrel Selection, Montenegro Amaro, maraschino, and orange for something a bit more stiff. You literally can’t beat this cocktail team anywhere in the city.
In terms of accommodations, standard rooms, suites, and penthouses are all available, with every room boasting handmade leather headboards, plush velvet furniture, and a variety of vintage pieces to boot. The cherry on top? It’s actually cheaper to stay here than you may think!
— Vicki Denig
The Bottom Line: In terms of quality to price, The Beekman might just be NYC’s best-kept secret (and its proximity to the Brooklyn Bridge—plus on-site Bar Room, of course—make it even better!)
For music lovers and creatives everywhere, we can’t recommend a stay at the Hotel Chelsea enough. Frequently deemed “The Last Bohemian Haven” in the city, the hotel’s iconic walls have hosted the likes of Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, and Patti Smith alike, as well as Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock.
Located at 222 West 23rd Street, the 250-unit accommodation was first built between 1883 and 1885, and offers a variety of rooms, suites, and long-term hotel apartments—we recommend the Junior Balcony Suite equipped with a king-size bed, soaking tub, and private outdoor space for taking in the city’s best views. Guests enjoy access to the famed Café Chelsea (best French pastries in town, pain au chocolate and cinnamon kouign amann included!) and Lobby Bar, as well as the Basque-inspired El Quijote (a favorite of Patti Smith).
In addition to its lineup of legendary past guests, the hotel also boasts a slew of fun facts — did you know Arthur C. Clarke wrote 2001: A Space Odyssey during a stay at the hotel? Or that Nancy Spungen, girlfriend of Sex Pistols’ member Sid Vicious, was found stabbed to death at the hotel in 1978 (followed by Sid himself via drug overdose four months later)? The latter fact plays into one of the many reasons why the hotel is often listed as one of the most haunted addresses in NYC.
— Vicki Denig
The Bottom Line: Despite the potential spook, this hotel is an absolute must-stay for fans of music and the arts—plus easy access to the High Line and Chelsea’s numerous art galleries is an added bonus.
No NYC neighborhood is more Instagrammable than SoHo, though staying in this posh part of town can often cost a pretty penny, yet somehow, the NoMo SoHo offers stylish accommodations and an “intersection of art, music, and fashion” for less than $175 a night (we know—we couldn’t believe it either).
Located just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Canal Street subway stop, this bright and airy accommodation features an on-site cocktail bar, terrarium-style dining, and a 24/7 fitness center, perfect for keeping wellness in check between cocktail breaks and photo shoots. Each room comes equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows (perfect for getting that IG-worthy shot), marble bathrooms, and a variety of designer toiletries. Numerous communal areas offer the perfect place to connect to WiFi and catch up on emails—or let’s be real, edit and post all of your photos in real-time.
— Vicki Denig
The Bottom Line: This stunning hotel should cost way more than it does—that is, for now. We recommend staying here before the higher-ups catch on.
Let’s be real—working on the go is a blessing and a curse, and nothing sucks more than posting up in a hotel room in a new city only to experience little more than its four walls. Thankfully, places like the Ace Hotel exist. Known for its sprawling downstairs café / coworking space, this on-site WFH area is a blessing to digital nomads everywhere (and best of all, the price is generally right!)
Ironically located in the city’s NoMad neighborhood, this 12-story accommodation offers an on-site lobby bar, fitness center, and delicious brews from Stumptown Coffee, as well as convenient access to a handful of the city’s subway lines. In addition to expansive WFH spaces, the Ace Hotel seriously knows how to turn on the party vibe at night—think Mixtape Club curations every Wednesday night in the Lobby, as well as seasonal parties for NYFW, seasonal popups, and more. Overall, the hotel’s vibe is eclectic-meets-modern with a touch of grunge, though rest assured, the property is perfectly clean, safe, and above all, convenient.
— Vicki Denig
The Bottom Line: We’ve noticed that prices at the Ace can seriously fluctuate; for example, rooms are as low as $199 in early January, though can go up to $600+ during fall. Should the price not be right, be sure to at least check out the lobby area/coffee shop for all of your on-the-go “WFH” needs.
Best for Wellness-Forward Travelers – The Equinox Hotel
In the words of the brand, the Equinox Hotel is “where hospitality meets science and fitness.” Translation? It’s lavish AF.
Anyone who’s been to an Equinox gym knows the high standards that the brand keeps, and the Hudson Yards-based hotel is no exception. Situated in a modern high-rise building that overlooks the Hudson River, this sleek and sexy property offers luxurious rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, in-room minibars, Nespresso machines, and yoga mats, with one and two-bedroom suites also available. Best of all? Every room at the hotel offers a breathtaking city or river view (and for the price, it should).
Guests of this 5-star accommodation have access to the hotel’s spa and on-site dining locations, as well as full privileges to use the state-of-the-art Equinox club, which clocks in at over 60,000 square feet! As Equinox says, this is high-performance living and a “place where compromise simply doesn’t exist”—we call it opulent as hell.
— Vicki Denig
The Bottom Line: This is luxury wellness in its finest form—and be sure to check out the chic terrace on the 24th floor.
There’s a reason why The Standard High Line continues to make Best NYC Hotel roundups after nearly 15 years, and the proof is in the well-executed amenities at this playful-meets-chic hotel. Located in the city’s see-and-be-seen Meatpacking District, The Standard High Line has been setting the standard (no pun intended) for lavish, party-packed stays since 2009.
The hotel is situated within an 18-story building overlooking the Hudson River and High Line Park, with near-direct access to the latter just steps from the hotel’s front door. Rooms come equipped with mini bars, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-room soaking tubs in suites. However, the hotel’s most exciting offerings are its dining and beverage locations, including The Standard Grill, Jo’s Coffee, The Standard Biergarten, and most famous of all, the Le Bain & Rooftop, known for its cocktails, crêperie, sunset views, and as the name implies, seasonal plunge pool. Best of all, The Standard regularly offers a slew of deals upon booking; currently, they’re offering a Go Big for Bubbles beverage package, long-stay (4+ nights) discount, and complimentary tickets to The Whitney.
— Vicki Denig
The Bottom Line: Your experience at The Standard is what you make it, though if you’re looking for a disco-packed option filled with late-night debauchery, this is the place to be. Note: Guests aren’t guaranteed access to Le Bain, so be sure to book in advance.
