NEW YORK
Scott Fitzgerald found wild promise of all the mystery and beauty in the world here. Angela Carter believed cities have sexes: London is a man, Paris is a woman, and New York is a well-adjusted transsexual. Simone de Beauvoir confided there is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless. Words are never enough for this city, so often evoked that even a first visit entails almost constant d j vu. This quintessential urban jungle delights us and tests us in equal measure. In New York, as Charles Bukowski reminded us, you ve got to have all the luck. COUNTRY USA AIRPORT JFK / LGA LANGUAGE ENGLISH CURRENCY USD DIALING CODE +1

PLACES TO VISIT
THE GREENWICH HOTEL
HOTEL in TRIBECA
Close to the heart of Tribeca is the resplendent Greenwich Hotel, hewn in the classic New York style of wrought iron and redbrick. Swathed in rich velvet and accented with dark wood, its unique rooms sigh with timeless sophistication and charm. Outside, foliage cascades over the rolling arches of the tranquil courtyard. Perched atop the hotel is the wabi -inspired Tribeca penthouse, created by Axel Vervoordt and Tatsuro Miki, wreathed with a crown of winding wisteria.

PUBLIC
HOTEL on the LOWER EAST SIDE
Designed by prizewinning architects Herzog de Meuron, PUBLIC is Ian Schrager s affordable redefinition of a luxury hotel. The mellow glow of plywood and smooth concrete distills a sense of ease and lagom -meaning just enough in Swedish. Beds are embraced by seemingly free-floating booths in smaller rooms, while larger suites allow the space to drink in the cityscape through floor-to-ceiling windows. Spend time in the eclectic store, the shapeshifting performance space, and especially the rooftop bar.

11 HOWARD
HOTEL in SOHO
Upon entering 11 Howard, you are greeted by a black Alexander Calder mobile hanging amid a serene color palette of warm beiges and cool grays. From here, you can turn left toward the on-site French restaurant, Le Coucou, or head up the spiral staircase to The Library-a communal space where you can eat, drink, work, and relax-and The Blond, the hotel lounge. Each of the property s 221 rooms comes with light oak floors and handcrafted furnishings that pay homage to Danish minimalism and an effortlessly cool New York style. And if you re hankering after interior items of a similar vein, you can wander down to the ground floor to Studio Oliver Gustav, a gallery and design studio from Copenhagen, to browse their wares. Donating a portion of its revenues to the Global Poverty Project, 11 Howard is a hub for the creative and the conscious.
