Have the Ultimate New York Winter Experience

admin

It is busy, it is bustling, it is even a bit brassy, but New York City winter is also irresistible. Here are some tips to have the best time in New York City this (and every) winter season.

New York City winter lights

Plan Ahead: Do your research and get as many reservations on the books as early as possible. Tables at that new place(s) you want to try, rooms at the hotel in the midst of all the action, tickets to the show(s) you want to see…get it all in advance.  

Come Prepared: The previous tip notwithstanding, expect long lines and crowded attractions. Dress in layers and bundle up warmly. It can get mighty cold outside as you visit many of the outdoor attractions, especially those that are prettiest at night.

Turn on the Glitz: Midtown Manhattan is the center of New York’s winter fete. Trek up trendy Fifth Avenue from 40th St to Central Park and see all the lights and glamour. Go to Saks Fifth Avenue’s light display, Tiffany’s dazzling diamonds, and the iconic trees at Rockefeller Center, the New York Public Library, the Empire State Building, Bryant Park, and others.

Make a List: Check it Twice: New York’s winter markets are charming venues worth exploring. They are filled with local artists and designers selling gifts and trinkets that you and your family will adore. Grand Central Terminal holds a unique Holiday Fair, in the stunning Vanderbilt Hall, focusing on socially responsible business and handmade craft gifts.

The wind-down of every calendar year is an exciting time in New York City. Come enjoy the post-Thanksgiving magical air; see the city transformed into a singing, dancing, sparkling Tinseltown.

standing 1,454 feet high, today’s building (erected in 1931 and designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon) houses the offices of Architectural Record.  Today’s latest space was designed by Beneville Studios, Corgan, IDEO and others.

Visiting the Empire State Building

For those of you who are staying at the Evelyn Hotel, visiting the Empire State Building is a wonderful winter activity.

From the top of the Empire State Building, you’ll enjoy clear views and a wintry—possibly even snow-covered– skyline. Panoramic views from the Empire State Observatory provide you with the opportunity to take beautiful pictures.

These inspiring views have awarded the Empire State Building the status of the most photographed building in the world. The building will also be lit up during the holiday season.

Enjoy your winter visit to New York.

Elevate Your Entertainment at The Evelyn

Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood has a lot to offer for both residents and tourists.  For those taking a break, The Evelyn hotel – built in 1903 – is located right in the center on New York’s 27th Street.  For art lovers, check out  Arlene Shechet’s artwork is displayed at Madison Square Park Conservatory.  This unique tour around “the overlapping pieces is similar to being within a madcap, human-scale astrolabe, one in which the onlooking park crowd that will move around and among it are similar to a constantly orbiting, shapeshifting astroid belt, dodging and colliding with the sculptures willy-nilly.”

For those who are more musically inclined, “The Band’s Visit” can be seen on Broadway, also near to The Evelyn.

And at the end of it all, you can just kick off your shoes and relax at the Evelyn’s Leonelli restaurant.  Between 7 am and 8 pm every day, treat yourself to some delicious pastries.
