Since Porter
landed, we cant seem to get enough of NYC. Getting to the grande pomme
has never been quicker, chicer and more civilized.
stay
City
Club has everything we look for in a NY hotel. The rooms are
unusually spacious (oodles of place for shopping bags), quiet (no
shrieking sirens and honking cabs), and utterly chic (chocolate brown
and taupe furnishings, dark cork flooring, and a king size bed of Frette
linens). The lobby is so small and discreet you would never thing this
charmer had 65 rooms. From $340 per night. www.cityclubhotel.com
eat
Youll be hard pressed to get your Manhattanite
mates to join you, but brunch at The
River Café is a real experience (be it a cheesy one!). Walk
across the Brooklyn Bridge, and find this fabulous local institution
perched on the waterfront. If its just the two of you, grab a table
facing the financial district and take in the view while devouring
fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon and freshly baked carrot cake. www.rivercafe.com
shop
Once youre properly google-eyed from shopping
through the village, head over to Fabulous
Fannys in the lower east side for a new pair of specs. With over
30,000 pairs dating back to the 1800s youll find everything from
Brigitte Bardot-style sunnies to the cat eyes your grandmother wore. www.store.fabulousfannys.com
drink
Refuel with a lovely cuppa tea. Sympathy
for the Kettle is one of the most charming tea rooms we know. Sip
Pink Persian Peppercorn out of mismatched vintage cups. Dont miss the
pistachio macaroons. Delightful. www.sympathyforthekettle.com
