The line outside the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. We had several some time to kill before we could pick up our apartment key, so we spent it here.

We stayed at the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District. It opened in 2009 and is famous for its crazy architecture and painfully exclusive rooftop bar (which we studiously avoided). Staying here was a unique experience, but next time I think we’ll aim for something a bit more low key.

We stayed at the New Yorker Hotel again. Sure, the location is crazy busy just off Times Square near Penn Station, but it’s ridiculously convenient to get everywhere. And I like the old building, constructed in the 1929 in an Art Deco style. It was closed from 1970 through to the mid 90s when it was finally refurbished and reopened.

Looking east along 34th past the Manhattan Center and the New Yorker Hotel, with the Empire State Building in the distance.
