Wythe Hotel Turns On the Lights; New Housing in Bed-Stuy

WILLIAMSBURG?Let there be light! The Wythe Hotel has flipped the switch on its marquis lights that line the building's glass box topper. Curbed photographer Will Femia snapped the above photo, which show that the lights cover a lot more of the building than last fall's test let on. The lights illuminate the rooftop cocktail bar area, and as one tipster said, "They actually look kind of nice." [Curbedwire Inbox]
