I once visited the iconic Blue Bar of the Algonquin Hotel in NYC. It was really cool.

And really blue.
Guess how it’s been remodeled? I don’t even want to post the photo. But I will because everybody needs to know about this atrocity.
This is the Blue Bar now:

It looks like an oversized airport vending machine. The marble counter, the chairs, everything is hideous.
All it lacks is a couple of art pieces by Feliza Bursztyn.
