Where to stay 

Just because you are in a city that never sleeps, doesn't mean that you don’t have to. Indeed one of the most enjoyable parts of your lavish long weekend in New York can be finding just the right place to stay and luxuriate in. 

Of course, hostels, and low-end establishments are out and instead, you’ll be looking for accommodation like this 5 star hotel Upper West Side for your stay. After all, location is everything when it comes to New York and The Wallace delivers Upper West Side style, with spacious and impeccable rooms that make the perfect base for your weekend adventures. 

Alternatively, you may wish to rent some private accommodation such as a full apartment in the same or a similar area such as the southwestern corner of Manhattan otherwise known as Tribeca which is famous for its stylish loft spaces. 

 

Where to eat 

If it's fine dining you are after on your long weekend in New York then you’ll want to book a table at the legendary 2 Michelin star Jungsik located on Harrison Street.

You can also expect both elegant decor and plating at Jungsik which you can see in the video below. 

If seafood is not your thing then another high-end must-visit eatery in New York is The Modern, located in the Kenneth C Griffin Building at the Museum of Modern Art. Expect contemporary American delights such as Brandt Farms beef with burrata and spicy peanuts

squab with glazed blueberries and chanterelles in 5 or seven-course tasting menus that can also be ordered with wine pairings. 



What to see and do 

If you’d like to rise above the hustle and bustle of the street, why not treat yourself to a helicopter tour of the city? You’ll get to see all the most iconic sites of the Big Apple from the comfort, privacy and amazing vantage point of a helicopter including Central Park, the Hudson River, and the Statue of Liberty! 

For those with money burning a hole in their pocket, a visit to the beloved Bergdorf Goodman store should be on the itinerary.

Lastly, while time is limited during a long weekend break, one activity you should not miss is to take a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park. Sip on champagne as you live out your Sex in The City fantasies and get the best view of New York’s most well-known park space.
