Just before Thanksgiving I spent a whirlwind 4 nights in the Big Apple, my last visit was
far too many years ago so I was excited to be back. Forest was on her way to visit her parents and we decided NYC was a good place to meet up for a few days. I arrived on a Wed afternoon to take advantage of a little "me" time, she arrived the next afternoon just in time for happy hour.
I cashed
in a bunch of miles and treated myself to first class, direct flights. When I
landed at JFK I jumped on the Sky Train to Jamaica Station and then
bought a ticket on the Long Island Railway to Penn Station. It was a
quick, hassle-free way into the city.
My home base was
the Kimpton Eventi hotel in the Chelsea/Flatiron area. This is such a
great location to stay in! It is 2 blocks from either Penn Station or the R Line, and there is a lot to see and do within easy walking
distance. As with all Kimpton's, the hotel hosts a nightly wine reception which provides an excellent
excuse to sit and relax. And free wine.
I had taken the advise of some friends
and requested a room with a view upon check in, I went to bed and woke
up each morning with the Empire State Building watching over me!
My room was modern and very comfortable, large by NY standards. The bathroom was beautiful, all marble with a rain shower head. I did have some issues with
turn down service but we'll chalk that up to "first world problems".
