Other Favourites

I Sodi

More than worth the hype – its pasta with caramelised onions and pecorino tasted like a great French onion soup.

Bemelmans Bar

Tucked away in the Carlyle hotel, adorned with murals and soundtracked by piano, Bemelmans is, quite simply, a classic cocktail spot.

Home Away From Home

The Greenwich Hotel

Robert De Niro’s elegant TriBeCa hotel has long felt like our home-away-from-home in the city.

Arts & Crafts

New York City Ballet

We try to catch whatever the ballet are staging and Copland Dance Episodes was our stand-out excursion of the week; Copland’s score, Justin Peck’s choreography, sculptor Jeffrey Gibson’s stark set and the dancers in crayon-bright colours. It comes back later this spring so be sure to look out for tickets.

The Noguchi Museum

The intimate Queens museum designed by Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi has always been a place of inspiration and calm.

Whitney Museum of American Art

We caught the end of Edward Hopper’s New York retrospective (which finishes 5 March) but the permanent collection of American art is worth a visit every time.
