From classic Margheritas to bold gourmet creations, they're got a slice for every craving.

This is a boutique hotel in every sense of the phrase; every detail has been poured over, from the silky, pleated walls in the corridor to the hidden Portrait Bar, just for hotel guests.  It’s full of surprises; you could round a corner to find a floral, velvet sofa and a well-stocked bookcase as a reading nook, or discover a colorful parlor filled with palms and garden furniture, available for private hire. It’s a bit like a cabinet of curiosities, but on a much larger scale—here’s my brand-new review of The Fifth Avenue Hotel.  Why should I stay at The Fifth Avenue Hotel? First up, because it’s absolutely gorgeous. Its home is found within a 19th-century mansion and Swedish-born star designer Martin Brudnizki created the design scheme, which is inspired by owner Alex Ohebshalom’s travels as well as romanticized figures of French history, like the poet Baudelaire. The vibe is all richly toned colors, exquisite materials, and romantic details, so you’ll want to get your camera out. It also genuinely feels five-star—there are special touches like tablets in rooms that control all elements of lighting, heat, sound, and television, as well as a 24/7 butler service. What are the rooms like at The Fifth Avenue Hotel? There’s a mixture of rooms (queens, kings, and corners), suites (studio, one-bedroom, terrace), and signature suites such as the penthouse, which are beautifully designed, offering features such as smart TVs, designer bath products, and even luxury car service.

Right across the East River in the heart of Williamsburg, with unobstructed waterside views of the Manhattan skyline, the stretch of Wythe Avenue between North 9th and 12th Streets has become a kind of hub of hip Brooklyn hotels: There’s the William Vale, a luxury property capped off with its stylish Westlight rooftop; the Hoxton, with its former-factory origins giving off industrial cool; and, finally, the Arlo Williamsburg, a trendy lodging known for its colorful pool deck and eclectic spirit. The latter took over the former Williamsburg Hotel space back in 2023 and in the years since has grown into a reliably stylish and lively option in a neighborhood buzzing with them. Walking through that red-brick facade, passing beneath that marquee lighting, guests will find a cool and comfortable stay that balances an inviting warmth with the youthful energy of the buzzy area. What are the rooms like at the Arlo Williamsburg? Okay, we won’t lie to you: The guest rooms—of which there are 147 across eight stories—are quite small, a byproduct of the nabe’s tall-not-sprawl nature. (The smallest option, the City View Queen, maxes out at 220 square feet.) But the Arlo makes the most of that diminutive size, with floor-to-ceiling windows, private Juliette balconies, marble-and-brass bathrooms (some even equipped with freestanding, deep-soaking tubs) and large, plush beds with crisp, high-quality bedding and tufted leather headboards. Robe and slipper lovers will sadly be without those...

We really like eating around the city, and we're guessing you do, too. So lucky for all of us, we've packed all our favorite restaurants under one roof at the Time Out Market New York. The DUMBO location in Empire Stores has fried chicken from Jacob’s Pickles, pizza from Fornino, delicious bagels from Ess-a-bagel and more amazing eateries—all cherry-picked by us. Chow down over two floors with views of the East River, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline.  RECOMMENDED: The best things do in NYC

If you thought getting a table at Per Se was tough, try getting into Rao’s. On second thought, don’t. Rao’s (pronounced “RAY-ohs”) is really a private club without the dues. To eat here, you’ll need a personal invite from one of the heavy hitters who “owns” a table. These CEOs, actors, politicians, news personalities and neighborhood old-timers established a long-standing arrangement with the late, legendary owner Frankie “No” Pellegrino, and that's what ensures a seat at one of the ten tables at the Italian-American icon. In fact, reading this review is probably the closest you’ll get to Rao’s.

For a long time, hotel dining seemed to cater to clientele who lay their heads down at the same address, made for convenience and eking out those last few dollars over taste. It wasn't until rather recently that the brilliant idea came to mind: Why don't we just have good restaurants at our hotels? Now in New York, locals and tourists jostle for a growing class of them—the gilded Café Chelsea inside the Hotel Chelsea, Williamsburg's Le Crocodile on the ground floor of the Wythe Hotel (partnered with the stellar Bar Blondeau on the sixth floor) and Andrew Carmellini's Café Carmellini inside The Fifth Avenue Hotel, to name a few. One40 Rooftop Restaurant attempts to break the "just a hotel restaurant" threshold, soaring up 20 floors above FiDi. But even if it didn't compete with the Sagas and the Manhattas that exist down the way in the same neighborhood, One40's uneven and uneventful dishes fall into the category of "just a hotel restaurant with prettier sights." Located inside Club Quarters Hotel World Trade Center, One40 Rooftop Restaurant could easily be a late-night cocktail lounge for the see-and-be-seen crowd if they let it, as a sculptural metal-stamped ceiling hangs above the dining room fitted with dusty pink and green velvet chairs and booths and a single illuminated tree in the middle of it all. The terrace is all-weather, meaning a plastic sheath insulates you from the beautiful view of the Freedom Tower and the somber memorial down below (but a sliver of the...

Some things get better with age. The Empire State Building—now approaching its 100th birthday—is definitely one of them.  The Empire State Building became an icon when it opened in 1931 as the world's tallest building. Though the landmark may have lost its No. 1 height status, it's remained a beloved destination with incredible views of the city. Thanks to recent updates, it's not just about the views anymore. The building now spotlights art, architecture, and history; plus, it offers a slew of cool events and excellent dining options.  Tourists tend to make the Empire State Building their first stop upon arriving in New York City, and they're onto something—it's worth a visit, no matter if you're a lifelong New Yorker or just passing through town. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of your trip to this essential gem of the Manhattan skyline. RECOMMENDED: 101 best things do in NYC Why is the Empire State Building so famous? This building was a Very Big Deal since day one. It was the world’s first building to soar higher than 100 stories, and it was completed in a record-breaking 1 year and 45 days thanks to seven million man-hours of hard work. The 102-story skyscraper opened to plenty of fanfare. On May 1, 1931, President Herbert Hoover pressed a button in Washington, D.C., officially opening the building and turning on the Empire State Building’s lights for the first time. The building quickly became a tourist hotspot, even more so when it became the...

If you and your significant other enjoy knocking boots with a writhing mass of sexy strangers, look no further than this club in Queens. And if you want more information on boots, here’s a fun fact: The actual first name of the Roman emperor commonly called Caligula was Gaius—caligula means "little boots" in Latin, and Caligula picked up this nickname (which he hated) when he accompanied his dad, Germanicus, during his military campaigns in Germany.

  Located on the 18th floor of the hotel, the "jewel box" space by Med Abrous and Marc Rose, who are food and beverage partners of the hotel and co-founders of the hospitality group Call Mom, opens up to incredible views of the boroughs, the bridges and the East River, which shine like stars at night. Designed by James Beard Award-winning design firm Parts and Labor Design, Panorama Room is visually dramatic. Its palatial vibes are set by luxurious velvet vintage-inspired tubular lounge sofas, chrome and marble touches, mosaic tile columns and its giant, tubular acrylic chandeliers that hover above the massively long bar. It's not only luxe but it's somehow simultaneously futuristic and retro. The space is filled with art from artists like Julia Chiang, Spencer Lewis, Alake Shilling, JPW3, Chris Martin, Brian Belott and Ida Eklbad, selected by Venus Over Manhattan partner Anna Furney and designer/creative director Darren Romanelli (aka Dr. Romanelli or DRx). Artist Sophie Parker and her botanical studio, Wife NYC, will also make custom arrangements and sculptural artwork for the lounge. There's even a custom-designed DJ booth made in Normandy by Hervet Manufacturier and Cédric Hervet, the long-time creative director for Daft Punk. The vibe: This is a swank place with a lot of cultivated ambiance, so there’s a cocktail attire dress code for entry i.e. no sweatpants, cargo shorts, or slides. The food: Mostly raw preparations of seafood, so it’s not the kind of place you...
