essential experts
The best way to see any city is with an expert guide. And when that city is the size or New York, you’ll need to make the most of your time.
Chris Hancock is not only a New York expert, but he is also one of the most talented photographers around. Head off on a tour of the Big Apple with him as your guide and discover what city life is like through the lens.
personal shopper
Our other favourite specialist is of the shopping variety. We all know New York is retail therapy heaven, but with our personal shopper to guide you, you’ll be hitting the most cutting edge boutiques, and vintage gems from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Just don’t forget to leave space in your suitecase.
after dark
Nightlife, nightlife. Where to start? Look no further, we have the answer to all your partying needs.
the skyline of the city at dusk
Begin your evening learning to craft the perfect cocktail with mixing wizard Albert Trummer at Apotheke. This former opium den in Chinatown was inspired by some of Europe’s best champagne bars and absinthe houses a la Belle Epoque Paris.
The enchanting, exclusive atmosphere makes this the perfect launch pad for a night out to remember. Once you’ve warmed up for some seriously hip underground live music, make the most of our insider access to secret Pirate Concerts, usually held behind unassuming, un-marked doors down back alleys. Think invitation-only smokey jazz lounges. Very cool.
out of the city
With New York hogging the headlines for so long, we say why not escape the city and hit the road, winding up the coast to the old-school escape of the city elite, Newport, Rhode Island. We can rent your own set of classic car wheels, making sure you travel in fitting style as you coast through the forest scenery to Newport.
macadamia nut crusted scallops
Stay in ultra-refined style at Vanderbilt Grace, our favourite Newport bolt hole, and begin exploring Newport’s vibrant social and sporting scene; play golf, tennis and polo, or discover the supreme surprises of the water with exciting dive sites and diverse fishing to be had. Following the town’s long association with the glitzy America’s Cup, get your sails up from the nearby Newport marina and sail serenely through Newport’s gentle waters.
Return to Vanderbilt Grace to dine in exquisite elegance at the hotel’s restaurant, Muse by Jonathan Cartwright. The award-winning restaurant will have your taste buds pleading for more, with innovative creations using the region’s freshly caught fish and seafood. Try the macadamia nut crusted scallops for a delicious delight that will stay in your memory long after you’ve left these tranquil Newport shores.
