New York
“New York City ist die heisseste Stadt,
wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat.”
is a song by Nina Hagen.
This holiday season I traveled to my friends Tina Rothermund & Anne-Rachel Schiffmann, architects, who have opened their book of personal favorites to you.
MY HOT LOCATION NEW YORK
No one needs to tell you that the New York City borough of BROOKLYN is hot. But DUMBO – an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass – is burning hot!
VINEGAR HILL HOUSE is a super cute restaurant, great service, the food is delicious and, hey, if the actrice Kirsten Dunst was there too, what are you, waiting for?!
If you are back on the island of MANHATTAN and you find yourself in desperate need of some swissness, absolutely check-out CAFÉ SELECT by the renowned swiss-DJ Oliver Stumm. Swiss coffee, croissant (ok, maybe too american and greasy), but the cappucino is thrilling.
MY HOT PLACE NEW YORK
The Senegalese restaurant ABISTRO is our “HOT PLACE NEW YORK” in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. You will be amazed by the incredible spices and the west african inspired menues. The hostess of this cozy restaurant even escorted us with an umbrella to the waiting taxi outside. If the rain pours… Abistro will make you feel home right away!
Since you are already in the neighbourhood, don’t forget to check out the BAM – BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC with their progressive performing and arts!
MY HOT FACE NEW YORK
MARISA FERRARIN is our monthly “HOT FACE NEW YORK”. She ist the english born owner of the incredible stylish restaurant & lounge DUANE PARK.
Enjoy the hospitality of a perfect gentlewoman! for lunch or dinner in one of the most beautiful streets in Tribecca, MARISA´s DUANE PARK is a jewel of its own.
And hey, absolutely visit one of her famous DUANE PARK´S LATE NIGHT – come for a late dinner and stay for the show. It will let your mind wanda…
And remember, if you wanna be MARISA´s friend, absolutely try the Griff’s gelati.
MY HOT SHOP NEW YORK
What would the big apple be without a little bit of shoppin? A cuppa cold coffee!
Shop in style in New York City with the LOUIS VUITTON CITY GUIDE 2009, the perfect invitation to travel.
MY HOT TIP NEW YORK
The CUBBY HOLE – New York City’s Neighborhood Fusion Bar is a great place to loose your jacket, but not your heart . . . like we did.
TRINITY CHURCH – CONCERT AT ONE are great weekly free concerts, check online for their various line ups.
