and the streets it’s be-tween. For example,First Street between Ave.A and B. You’ll sound likea local in no time.

Sleeping and eatingIf budget isn’t an is-

sue, choose a hotel that isconvenient to where youwant to go so you don’tspend half your time justgetting from place toplace. There is no limit tothe options.

Just steps from therunways at Lincoln Cen-ter, NYLO New York Cityprovides fashionistaswith the ultimate NewYork experience. Thehotel’s 285 loft-inspiredguest rooms keep bothstyle and comfort top ofmind, blending theirsignature urban, indus-trial design with theenergy, color and fash-ions of New York’s JazzEra.

In addition to culinaryall-stars RedFarm andSerafina, the hotel’s lob-by LOCL Bar and PianoLounge are the perfectspot for a tipple pre-and-post night on the town. Ifstaying at NYLO, be sureto take a walk around thecorner to Irving FarmCoffee Roasters on 79thbetween Broadway andAmsterdam for a phe-nomenal breakfast andperfect cappuccino.

The London NYC isclassic elegance, with allthe benefits of its conve-nient location in Midtownwith easy access to FifthAvenue shopping, Broad-way theaters, CarnegieHall and Times Square,at the foot of CentralPark.

Gordon Ramsay’srestaurant at The Londonoffers sophisticatedFrench-inspired cuisineand an impressive,award-winning wine list.Guests can splurge on anexclusive dining experi-ence by eating at theChef’s Table, entering“the inner sanctum” ofthe restaurant’s multi-million dollar kitchen.Accommodating up toeight guests for an eight-course tasting menu andwine pairing, it’s one ofthe city’s most covetedculinary experiences.

Another impressivedining experience is justblocks from the Londonin Columbus Circle,where chef Angie Berrycreates deconstructed,innovative dishes atAsiate in the MandarinOriental Hotel. Somemay have you asking“What exactly is this?”but then one bite and itdoesn’t really matter. It’san experience.

The High Line Hotelopened in Chelsea in May2013. Carved out of thered-brick General Theo-logical Seminary com-plex, a registeredMan-hattan landmark, thehotel is adjacent to theiconic High Line “rail-road-line park,” dozensof restaurants, clubs andthe city’s hippest artgallery neighborhood.

Utterly unique, in-stead of opting for stan-dard hotel furnishings,every room, suite, corri-dor and public space is

furnished with Victorianor Edwardian antiques,period art, Tiffany-stylelamps, rewired 1920’sdial telephones and a vastcollection of authenticOriental carpets.

Located on Tenth Ave-nue, turn-of-the-20th-century gas lamps linethe sidewalk and entry. Ashiny 1960s Citroën truckout front serves coffeeand snacks from Chi-cago-based Intelligentsia.

Truth be told, youcould spend the rest ofyour life sampling all ofthe city’s eats and nevereat at the same place orhave the same dish twice,which makes narrowingdown the must-eat placesnearly impossible. How-ever, there is such a thingas “what’s hot now” and“what’s always hot.”Here’s a short list offavorites.

Cookshop in Chelseaon Tenth Avenue at 20thStreet is considered“farm to hipster.” Hold-ing strong to the philoso-phy that the butcher andthe baker were the firstchefs, the menu high-lights sustainable andseasonal ingredients,humanely raised animalsand the support of localfarmers and artisans.

The NoMad, also ahotel, is a destinationrestaurant and bar in andof itself with Chef DanielHumm at the helm. Serv-ing dishes that can onlybe described as heavenly,part comfort, part ele-gance, you’d be remissgoing without trying

their signature dish —the whole-roasted chick-en for two with foie gras,black truffle, briochewith nettles, white aspar-agus and soft-poachedegg. Not your averagechicken.

Lil’ Frankie’s in theEast Village on FirstAvenue has been a neigh-borhood favorite foryears. Quaint, intimate,with soothing aromasenticing all the sensesfrom the moment youwalk through the door,it’s an unassuming hole inthe wall that is alwaysbustling for good reason.Whether it’s a thin, Ital-ian-style pizza from theirNeopolitan wood-burningoven or a garlicky kaleCaesar salad, you can’tgo wrong.

As with anything inNew York, even bars,make reservations wellin advance.

Note: If traveling thissummer, Newark Airportmight not be the bestchoice. Often more eco-nomical than John F.Kennedy International,the airport’s Air Train,which connects the ter-minals to the city, will beclosed through July 15.

That means primarilytaxis, cars and buses willbe serving the airport,which will make traffic amess, not to mention thatone of their major run-ways is expected to beunder constructionthrough June, potentiallycausing gate and runwaydelays.

For private car trans-

portation from the air-ports to the city, youngentrepreneur SimonChkifati is the owner ofLuxor Limo, offeringcompetitive pricing andconvenient servicearound the greater Man-hattan area.
