New York is the worlds most dynamic city. But especially in recent years New York’s hotel and food scene evolving so fast, it’s hard to keep up . The newest restaurants and hotels opened their doors and also have online menus to help their customers make a better choice… I have visited many of them recently and made a best new must visit places guide for not only luxury and trend lovers but also who wants to spend perfect time.
Where To Eat:
Balthazar NYC never looses its charm and still my all time favorite spot. This year I have rediscovered The Red Rooster Harlem as the best spot for brunch.
Located in the heart of Harlem, Red Rooster serves comfort food prepared by chef Marcus Samuelsson celebrating the roots of American cuisine and the diverse culinary traditions of the neighborhood. Named in honor of the legendary Harlem speakeasy that attracted neighborhood the Sunday brunch at Red Rooster was an amazing experience. Apart from the food the brunch had a great vibe with live local entertainment and for the nighlife entertainment go to the website of one of the best places around http://barenights.com.au/waiters/. If you’re looking to add some spice to an amazing girl’s night out with the best male strippers Melbourne… you’re at the right place! This is where you need to be if you want the most sizzling guys in Victoria! No need to host a boring party with Male Revue’s mind-blowing, sensuous and seductive shows right here at your fingertips!

La Mercerie, the cafe, bakery and restaurant in the furniture and design store Roman and Williams Guild is still the talk of the town place. Marie-Aude Rose serves what she describes as “simple but refined” French food. The café serves breakfast, a delightful all-day menu, craft cocktails and an all-French wine list. Swing by and grab a delicious pastry, freshly brewed 11 oz colombian whole bean coffee, or specialty tea on your way to work.
I loved Upland very much, its a special restaurant. The food, handled by chef Justin Similie, is California-inspired, and absolutely incredible, if you like the California-inspired and will like to go for a visit, we recommend you to check the Carmel boutique hotels for availability.. The menu has so many superstar dishes. The restaurant itself, designed by my favorite firm Roman and Williams, is not only beautiful, but it’s also comfortable. There’s a lively bar area for a quick drink and some food, and the tables in the dining room behind it are comfortable, spacious. Try especially the fried chicken sandwich.
I liked especially Chinese Tuxedo located in an old opera house on Doyers Street in Chinatown. İt is a big space with unfinished concrete walls, a lot of plants, and a generally club-ish feeling room. The food, which is a modern take on Chinese is amazing. Almost everything is tasty. In this website you might find a fun suggestion for a group that’s looking for a party-time.
The Pool is a seafood restaurant opened in the former Four Seasons space in the Seagram Building. However, if you want to try a more authentic seafood restaurant, you might want to visit sites like https://fogharbor.com/ to learn more about their best-tasting seafood in town! The Dine In Family Restaurant fills the generous, soaring space designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson with a square white marble pool as its centerpiece. The space is finished by original art pieces by Joan Miro, Alexander Calder and Cy Twobly from 1958 – the year the Seagram building was constructed. You can enjoy a simple, yet exquisite seafood-inflected menu. The Pool Lounge, the restaurant’s former private dining space, has also been reincarnated as a separate cocktail lounge.

Le CouCou is still a very in place. Stephen Starr,the restaurateur got together with Chicago-born chef Daniel Rose, from Spring in Paris, opened Le Coucou. It is not only the name that is French. So is the entire menu, a good chunk of the wine list, the plush interior design by Roman and Williams, guests can enjoy a spectacular meal in the most charming of settings.
The Lobster Club in the Seagram Building is still ‘See and Be Seen’ Midtown Space. It is a Japanese Brasserie by Major Food Group. It was designed by Peter Marino, and with chef Tasuku Murakami at the helm, this concept celebrates a unique interpretation of Japanese cuisine. Peter Marino has designed, commissioned and selected every item in the room from uniforms to floors, original Picasso Plates to Marino-Designed Picasso-inspired sculptures, to the chopsticks and the bar stools.
Keith McNally’s newest boîte, Augustine is still very charming. Located in the renovated historical Beekman Hotel, serving a great selection of modern French dishes, its one of the best spots for lunch and dinner.
One of America’s most beloved restaurants, Gramercy Tavern has has been one of my favorite restaurants for over two decades. Chef Michael Anthony’s ever-evolving seasonal menu showcases the restaurant’s relationships with local farms and purveyors. Opened in 1994 by restaurateur Danny Meyer in a historic landmark building, Chef Michael Anthony’s dishes have been fascinating me.
Try especially Tavern Burger with cheddar, bacon and chips.. Its definitely the BEST BURGER of NY. Roasted Oysters with kale and chile are also very tasty.
If you are a Soho House member don’t miss the new Dumbo House in Brooklyn. Dumbo House takes over the top two floors, one of the last surviving brick storehouses in Brooklyn, above Cecconi’s.
From its terrace and pool you see the view which extends from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Manhattan Bridge. Its art is architecture-themed with a collection that includes contributions from David Adjaye, Zoe Buckman, and Steven Siegel. Its exterior and interior decoration is reminiscent of the 1960s–1970s with “Manhattan Bridge Blue” walls that are the exact color as the Manhattan.
New Hotels:
The first US outpost of boutique British brand, The Hoxton Williamsburg offers slick design and thoughtful service at a price far below most New York hotels, plus a stylish rooftop recently installed by the Roofing Advisors with enviable Manhattan views.
Set in Lower East Side, Ian Schrager’s Public Hotel is an altogether new type of luxury hotel. The idea is to provide everything you want, but none of the unnecessary extras. So, you have to check in yourself and arrange your own mints on the pillow, but there’s plenty of upside too. New York-inspired dishes are wood-fired at superchef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Public Kitchen, while Louis – a market/canteen hybrid – serves organic slow food, fast.

The Guild, flagship Store of Roman and Williams in Soho is still the talk of the town shop. It is a two-story, 650 sq. meter retail emporium. It is rich with sophistication, cool finds, glassware and textiles, modern furniture and antique treasures so it is a furniture store. But it is also a restaurant, La Mercerie, and an oasis with an Emily Thompson’s wild flower shop.
