6.(Re)discover New York City
New York City (in the state of New York, of course) is reported to be back at its best. Indeed, it now offers new places to stay as well. There are three new hot spots to rest your head this year. There’s Aman’s latest “urban sanctuary”, Aman New York located in Midtown Manhattan, the raved about Ritz-Carlton NoMad and North America’s premiere Six Senses property found in Chelsea. If you’ve not already seen them, be sure to hit the iconic Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and 9/11 Memorial too.
