The Big Apple needs no introduction and it’s attractions are world famous. However, here at The Gentleman’s Journal , we have 5 particular reasons we have to jump on a plane and go to New York immediately.
KEENS STEAKHOUSE, , In the life of a carnivore, we have moments where the only thing that will slack the caveman instinct is steak. Established in 1885, Keens Steakhouse has long served the rich and famous. Known for the old fashioned tradition of checking one’s pipe, the pipes of Babe Ruth, J P Morgan and Teddy Roosevelt adorn the walls of this steakhouse which serves top quality steaks the size of ships, and a Manhattan that would sink that ship.
HUDSON BAR & BOOKS, , The ultimate gentleman’s hide out, this is one of the few completely dedicated whiskey and cigar bars in New York. In the highly desirable neighbourhood of the West Village, this library themed bar offers the best scotch and cigars a man could wish for, with James Bond playing silently in the background for that 007 edge.
SEIZE SUR VINGT, , A boutique on Greene St in Soho, frequented by Robert Pattinson and Waris Ahluwalia, this is the place to buy finely crafted shirts, and wow them in the board room.
TRUMP SOHO, , The pioneer hotel of Donald Trump, this is uptown luxury in a hip downtown neighbourhood. Known for its superb spa and authentic Japanese food at Koi, celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Rhianna and Will Smith have been seeing gracing the doors of this up and coming hotel for this generations young, bright things.
CHELSEA PIERS SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX, , Stretching across 4 piers, this 30 acre village provides a unique variety of services for the sporting man. It houses one of the best gym and fitness clubs in NYC, with excellent facilities and top instructors, this is the place to let off steam. There is also a state of the art Golf Club with indoor and outdoor facilities to improve your handicap, and a Sky Rink for the more adventurous sportsman – it is the most popular year round indoor twice rink facility in the city. Bowlmor is also an excellent place to wind down with friends in a unique bowling facility.
