New York

The dichotomy of the city makes it one of the most thrilling places in the world to visit: from the finest Michelin three-star cuisine to a classic American hot dog on a street corner, cosy brownstones to soaring glass monoliths, from the latest cutting-edge entertainment to the finest classic shows on Broadway, New York’s iconic buzz comes from its melting pot of cultures, high and low.

Your private air charter will arrive at one of the city’s three main airports, JFK, La Guardia, and Newark and a 30 to 45-minute drive will whisk you into the heart of the city.

The city that never sleeps boasts some of the best shopping in the world, from the iconic Saks and Bergdorfs, to independent boutiques and even upscale malls such as Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan, with its eclectic mix of cultural and art experiences as well as world-class shopping and dining.

Fans of art can stroll around the stunning Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim – or admire the city’s architecture with a blustery walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to explore another of New York’s boroughs.

There is no shortage of stunning views in the city (the ever-popular Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center provide two of the classics) but the Summit One Vanderbilt is the complete package – an elevator whizzes you to the 91st floor where a huge mirrored room looks out over the city, with rotating art installations by Kenzo Digital, a glass skybox that makes you feel as if you’re floating over Madison Avenue and a glass elevator that takes you even higher for a bird’s eye view.

And if you enjoy a view, check into the sleek Mandarin Oriental, at Columbus Circle near Central Park, which boasts a luxury spa and a light-filled pool thousands of feet above the city.

Or if you want to be in a more buzzy part of town, Sixty Soho is a five-star luxury boutique hotel in the trendy SoHo district, packed full of shops, bars and restaurants.

For a quieter stay, The Moore is a chic new hotel based in a townhouse in the attractive residential neighbourhood of Chelsea near the High Line – a former train track which has been transformed into a leafy urban park which winds its way through Lower Manhattan.

New York is famous for many things, not least its vast array of different cuisines.
Kochi, in Hell’s Kitchen, boasts a tasting menu inspired by the Korean royal court cuisine – and a Michelin star.

The Flatiron district’s Gramercy Tavern is a New York classic serving only set menus with the very best fresh local produce.

Or enjoy Spanish favourites including lobster grilled on a plancha and paella with blue prawns and rabbit at the newly re-opened El Quijote in Chelsea.

For a drink, Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel is where the locals enjoy an ice-cold martini and some live jazz.

New York is a treat at any time of the year but the city can be uncomfortably hot and humid in August and the temperature can plunge well below zero in January and February.
New Yorkers say they can tell the tourists from the locals as they’re the ones walking down the street while gazing up, agog at the soaring skyscrapers and splashy glamour of one of the most exciting cities in the world.
