Yes Scarlet does give a damn

I stayed at The Scarlett in Lincoln, Nebraska, and I’m still trying to figure out how to move in without anyone noticing. The place is pristine – like, did a designer and a clean freak have a beautiful baby and name it this hotel? The food? Let’s just say I considered asking for the chef’s autograph. I may or may not have licked my plate. And the sleep. Ohhh the sleep. I conked out so fast I didn’t even have time to doomscroll. Best sleep of my life! Lily the bartender at the rooftop bar is 10/10.
