My spouse and I visited New York City in November of 2014 for a 2-night stay following the Thanksgiving holiday. We stayed at the Doubletree Chelsea. We started off with drinks at The Breslin, followed by lunch at The Nomad. In the afternoon, we visited the outside of the 9/11 Memorial, but it was extremely windy and chilly. (We had planned to visit inside as well, but we had no idea of the types of crowds that we would encounter. Because it was already late afternoon, we would not have adequate time for a visit.) We had happy hour drinks at Pioneers Bar next door to the hotel. We had pre-dinner drinks at Le Bain at The Standard in the Meatpacking District. It was neat to see a little outdoor ice-skating rink set up on the hotel property when we exited our taxi. We also peeked into the more formal bar at The Standard, which we should have chosen to visit instead of Le Bain, where the crowds were younger and we didn't quite fit in. We had dinner at Scott Conant's restaurant Scarpetta, where we had tried to dine for years, so it was nice to finally have the opportunity to eat there. Another great NYC visit!
