Possibly the best hotel when it comes to in-house baked goodies and coolest branded products in the room including bathrobes and amenities. The Williamsburg Hotel is the latest addition to the Williamsburg neighborhood and during my short stint there in January I had the opportunity to stay here. The Brooklyn Bread Lab, the in-house bakery [...]
I have been meaning to go to Norma's for over 2 years and this time I made it a mission to visit one morning for breakfast. Norma's is part of the Parker New York Hotel located in midtown west and a real local experience in Manhattan - you'll see locals, professionals and guests dining here [...]
