I Love NYC!

New York City is one of my favorite cities in the world. I find it invigorating, energizing, exciting, and sexy. I love the beautiful skyscraper skyline, the majestic Hudson river, the amazing museums, fantastic shopping and last but not least the incredible food. There is nothing like eating a NY Hotdog while walking through Central Park or a slice of the heavenly NY cheese pizza after late night clubbing!


Here are a few of my favorites....
Hotels 
Ritz Carlton Central Park - Can't beat the location. Across from Central Park, a block away from Fifth Avenue.
The Plaza - Landmark hotel. Absolutely beautiful and also great location.
Hotel Gansevoort - Modern, contemporary hotel located in the Meat Packing District. Walking distance to amazing restaurants and shopping.
