French-Asian Fusion with a View |
80 Columbus Circle Mandarin Oriental Hotel New York, NY 10023 +1 212 805 8881 monyc-reservations@mohg.com |
An extravagant, leisurely dining experience is what awaits at Asiate, a skytop restaurant overlooking Central Park as well as the rest of the city. There is an exclusive wine and aperitif list, a menu of exquisite dishes like branzino with scallop and brandade, suckling pig, foie gras, and jambonneau of chicken. And then there's the epic list of desserts, which includes Earl Grey créme brûlée, rasberry granita, and litchi sorbet. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Following years' worth of renovations, The Statue of Liberty is back and better than ever. Lady Liberty, representative of freedom to the world, shines bright in New York Harbor.

Once again, visitors can walk out onto the observation deck to see New York City and its Harbor. With a torch and a book in her hands, Lady Liberty has welcomed immigrants and visitors for over a century. Created by Frenchmen Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, the Statue was a gift from France to the United States. Admission: Round trip ferry tickets are USD10 for adults, USD8 for seniors, and USD4 for children 4-12, under 3 free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The opening of the Top Of The Rock observation deck adds to the many facets of Rockefeller Center's worldwide attraction: its skating rink, NBC studios, the famous Christmas tree. The Top Of The Rock observation deck sits serenely at the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center. With its awesome views of Central Park, Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge, and northern Manhattan, you'll be transported to a more peaceful state of mind. While away the hours soaking in a gorgeous sunset or experiencing the hands-on, multimedia exhibits. The innovative ticket reservation system claims to guarantee a comfortable, never overcrowded atmosphere. There's no other place in New York like it. Review © 2007, Wcities |
