The weather, the prices, the event – is it worthy to visit New York in February? Of course it is worthy!<\/span><\/p>\n

The view from Top of the Rock when there’s no fog in NYC<\/p><\/div>\n

If was our first visit to New York and we did it in February, 2020. Actually we were lucky to realize it before all the borders were closed because of Coronavirus epidemic. We had two option when to visit New York: for New year or for my birthday in February. We chose the second option notwithstanding all the information we read that February is the worst period for this city.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing I planned in advance was the list of restaurants, bars, brunch places to visit as I do love good food and various cuisines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As this part was on my husband, the approach was completely different than the girl\u2019s one. What do ladies need? To have a nice brunch location near, a Sephora shop and movement around. Men select the location for the distance from the Times Square or a Central Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, we chose <\/span>Club Quarters Grand Central <\/a><\/strong>4*<\/strong> hotel on Lexington avenue near the Grand Central station in Manhattan. This location allows to be in 5 minutes walk in Fifth avenue, in 5 minutes in Times Square, couple of more avenues and you find yourself in \u201cHell\u2019s Kitchen\u201d neighborhood plenty of all cuisines of the world and where the view completely changes after business quarter skyscrapers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To understand how and where to choose a hotel in New York is a very personal experience I guess. To find 9 points rate and more on Booking is not an easy thing. Even the most expensive hotels do not always boast of such ratings. Indeed, if you read on Google, New York hotels do not enjoy good fame. Because in any time this city is desired and no bad hotel rating will stop people to visit it. The most important characteristic are small rooms. Very small.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In our Club Quarters there was a bar on the 27th floor with a view and an unlimited coffee, which is very pleasant. Usually I don\u2019t notice such things, but since a cup of espresso far from being tasty costs $ 3.5 in New York, having an unlimited at the hotel was a positive thing. And it turned out to be the most delicious coffee in the city. Sorry, yes we are boring and yes we have the best coffee in Italy, which costs 0,90 cents \ud83d\ude42 <\/span><\/p>\n

An overall experience was good. But the hotel is mostly used for business trips and not for vacations according to people I saw in common spaces. It seemed like you were a useless subject entering to take a cup of coffee during some morning group meeting. But, yes, we were on vacation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Which location I\u2019d choose for the next trip? Maybe I would opt to take a cosy apartment in Soho or maybe in Williamsburg in Brooklyn, which is what I like having noticed the quantity of trendy places in this hipster-chic NYC neighborhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any recommendations regarding nice apartments?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, did you know that Brooklyn and Manhattan often have the same addresses, same street names. So\u00a0 it is necessary to precise which part of New York your are talking about when fixing an appointment \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
