My weekend in New York


There was a long time that I wanted to know New York, and the moment was last weekend. The experience has been fantastic. I've felt as a little bug in a big forest. The sensation is that everything move forward quickly and you move slowly. The buildings are huge, and your neck hurts because you try to see the end of every skyscrapers.
We have been in a really nice hotel that I found in one of my favourites websites Mr & Mrs Smith. The Hotel is a Boutique Hotel place between the 5Th Avenue and the 56Th Street. I recommend this hotel to everybody because it is in a good location to begin to explore the city. The staff is fantastic, very helpful and make you feel as home.
We were in a corner room facing the 56Th Street with floor to ceiling windows. The rooms are originals and really nice with an artistic decoration sense. You can see the firefighter pipes lines on the ceiling room. It has a fantastic modern bathroom with a great shower.
You are in s short distance of Central Park and all of the 5th Avenue Shops.
There are plenty of restaurants around the Hotel. We didn't have dinner at the hotel in spite that it has good reviews everywhere.

We had dinner in two Italians Restaurant the first one was Bice. We had dinner there because we know the one in Madrid, the food was nice, huge portions and fresh products but the wine list has exorbitant prices, the place is big and is a little bit noisy. When we left the restaurant we had a estrange sensation, the dinner was good but the place and the environment aren't worth the money.
The second one is wonderful, was Il Gattopardo, in front of Moma Museum. When you go inside you can choose to have dinner at the restaurant or "outside", at the conservatory, and that is really nice because you can see the sky and the neighbourhood buildings. The decoration is pleasant with a big larder where the waitress leave the water bottles and the cutlery. The time between dishes is perfect allowing you enjoy the night and the wine. The food was delicious and it has a wine list with reasonable prices and a good range of Italian wines. The service was very attentive and we had a fantastic evening. I'll come back for sure.
