My spouse and I spent two nights in New York City over the Martin Luther King Holiday weekend in mid-January 2017. We stayed in the Midtown East/Murray Hill/NoMad neighborhood at the Gansevoort Park Avenue. (We enjoyed a stay at its sister hotel the Gansevoort Meatpacking in July of 2016.) We stayed in the area so that we could eat dinner at O Ya, the Manhattan outpost a notable sushi restaurant that we passed up dining at in Boston years ago because we thought that 45 minutes was too long to wait. On this visit, we also dined at Cosme, Annisa, and Momofuku Nishi, which have been on our “to eat” list for some time. Sprinkle in some (not-so) dive bars like Wolf Tone and Peter Dillon’s, and a delicious pastrami sandwich at Second Avenue Deli, and we had a full eating and drinking schedule. To soak up some culture, we visited the New York Public Library (once we could access it by passing by the protestors) and the National Park Service’s Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace. The weather was frigid, and it even snowed a bit on Saturday afternoon. But it was another pleasant and successful weekend in the city!
