With the successful move of Tocqueville, owners Marco Moreira and Jo-Ann Makovitzky set about re-inventing the restaurant's original space with the help of acclaimed architect Rechard Bloch. Reborn as 15 East, the restaurant serves contemporary Japanese cuisine and traditional sushi in an elegant, comfortable setting.

High on a Midtown rooftop with the Empire State Building looming dramatically overhead, 230 Fifth is one of New York's largest and most famous rooftop bars. More glamorous lounge than nightclub, it draws huge crowds for after-work drinks, weekend parties and unbeatable views across the Manhattan skyline. Its sprawling open-air terrace offers panoramic vistas, with the floodlit Empire State Building as its signature backdrop. In colder months the rooftop transforms into a winter wonderland of h.....

Irving Farm is located 90 miles from New York City within the Hudson Valley region of upstate New York. The farm sits in a serene farming community at the foothills of both the Berkshire and Catskill Mountain ranges. All coffee is roasted in an early 19th century carriage house that has been converted into a modern roasting facility. Estate grown coffee beans are shipped directly to Irving Farm where they are stored in a climate-controlled environment. Before roasting, each bean undergoes exten.....

7A Cafe at 109 Avenue A on the corner of 7th Street has been an East Village fixture since 1984. The restaurant is open 24/7, serving American Continental cuisine with breakfast dishes from 2am to 5pm, dinner specials from 6pm to 1am, and weekend brunch from 10am to 5pm. A weekday happy hour runs from 1pm to 7pm.

Set on the second floor of a building at 420 West 14th Street in the Meatpacking District, the 9/11 Museum Workshop is a deliberately small and personal counterpoint to the larger memorial downtown. It was founded by Gary Marlon Suson, who served as the official photographer for the Fire Department of New York during the nine-month recovery effort at Ground Zero, and it opened to the public in September 2005. Rather than recounting the attacks themselves, the exhibit concentrates on the months o.....

Adrienne's Pizzabar at 54 Stone Street in the Financial District serves thin-crust pizza and Italian fare on one of downtown Manhattan's most charming cobblestoned pedestrian streets. The outdoor seating fills quickly during warm weather, while a second location in West Palm Beach extends the concept to Florida. The bar and full Italian menu make it more than a simple pizza joint, drawing both the FiDi lunch crowd and evening diners.

Smooth adobe walls, spruce-fir-latticed ceilings and flickering candles help create the stylishly relaxed vibe. Sit by the tall front windows watching West Village strollers, or settle into the warm, spacious back dining room. An informed, friendly staff takes care of newcomers and the slew of Agave addicts alike.

Opened in November 1924 as the Martin Beck Theatre, the Broadway house at 302 West 45th Street carries one of the more elaborate origin stories on the street. The vaudeville promoter Martin Beck commissioned it and, unusually for the time, paid for it outright, making it the only theatre in New York then standing without a mortgage. Architect G. Albert Lansburgh dressed it in a Moorish and Byzantine style meant to outshine its neighbours, with dressing rooms enough for 200 performers and an inte.....

Behind an exterior much like its neighbours, the Ambassador Theatre on West 49th Street hides an unusual trick: architect Herbert J. Krapp set the auditorium at a diagonal across the plot so he could fit in as many seats as the lot allowed. Built for the Shubert brothers during their burst of expansion after the First World War, it opened in February 1921 with a musical called The Rose Girl and was one of four houses the family raised on 48th and 49th Streets in quick succession. Its history si.....
