Splurge at this steakhouse for a great rib eye with great service, but start off with the crab cake appetizer.

If you have Hilton honors, don't book through 3rd party like Priceline or Hotels.com. Hilton will not recognize your stay and give you zero. There are so many better options in this city.
I love getting massages whenever it strikes me to do so- best spa in this part of NYC hands down.
Tennessee Williams once lived on the top floor of the Hotel Elysée, in Midtown. Just off its lobby is the Monkey Bar, now owned in part by the Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter.
