There is no other city on earth like New York. It’s a place where everything in the world happens every day, and twice. There is an energy to the place that is palpable and always changing, behaving like a molecule that refuses to behave. The pace of culture here is impossible to gauge, and harder to capture than mercury, because everybody seems to be looking to make or discover the next big thing. And despite or perhaps because of this searching, it’s one of those places that is simply magnetic, drawing the best minds and talents in the world into its folds. There is little question that for the best hotels, New York City can compete, because in many ways, New York invented the idea.
Our hotels are selected from the finest New York has to offer, so that you’ll be enjoying gorgeously relaxing nights in rooms decorated with real metropolitan style. You’ll wake up refreshed and ready to discover what the city has in store for you that day. Shopping and people-watching are always popular, and they can reveal many splendid and baffling things about the city. These activities can also keep your days very pleasantly full. At night, New York City doesn’t exactly come alive, since it never sleeps in the first place, but a lot of the great art happens at nighttime. Franklin Furnace is a fantastic place to check for what’s new in experimental performance.
They’re an organization that’s been around for more than thirty years, begun by Martha Wilson in 1976. It was started with the intention of supporting avant-garde artists who were falling outside of the genres and content specified by institutional art. This noble beginning has produced some magnificent results, and has helped to launch and support the careers of artists who fall outside of the mainstream. These artists include such visionaries and recognized geniuses as Allan Kaprow, Nicolas Dumit Estevez, Annie Sprinkle, Vito Acconci, and Carolee Schneemann. It’s an organization with a small and intimate space, and a fantastic reputation among art-lovers, and especially artists, who keep seeing things that we can’t.
