"With a glowing neon sign and wood-paneled walls, the White Horse Tavern has been a West Village fixture since 1880, drawing literary legends like Jack Kerouac, James Baldwin, and Dylan Thomas — whose namesake drink, a double pour of Jack neat, is still a favourite today. Order one at the bar and raise your glass to more than a century of New York stories."

Our Conference Service Manager’s Go-To When Impressing a Crowd

Manuela Markman, Conference Services Manager

"Dinner at Manhatta. It has floor-to-ceiling windows that boast sweeping views of Lower Manhattan from the 60th floor of 28 Liberty Street – and the food is phenomenal.”

Our Lifestyle Creative Director’s Negroni Hotspot

– Monica Domantay, Lifestyle Creative Director

“Dante is an iconic café and bar in Greenwich Village that has been attracting people from all walks of life for more than 100 years and is a must-stop destination for anyone looking to experience old-world New York charm. Their award-winning cocktail menu is as diverse as the neighbourhood they helped shape. I highly recommend ordering the negroni bianco.”
