Hotel
The Plaza
Opened in 1907 at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, the Fairmont-managed Plaza is one of New York's most storied grand hotels.
An intimate Tribeca luxury hotel with a residential feel, the Shibui Spa and pool, a courtyard, and the Italian restaurant Locanda Verde.
Good to know
The Greenwich Hotel brings a residential, homely feel to luxury on Greenwich Street in Tribeca. Public spaces such as the Drawing Room and the courtyard are designed to feel more like a private house than a hotel lobby, making it a calm retreat from the busier parts of Manhattan.
Downstairs, the Shibui Spa includes a pool and treatment rooms, and Locanda Verde, the hotel's Italian restaurant, is popular with locals for breakfast and dinner. Tribeca's restaurants, the Hudson River waterfront and the World Trade Center area are all within walking distance.
Yes — there is a pool and gym alongside the Shibui Spa.
Locanda Verde, an Italian restaurant.
Café
A Viennese-style café inside the Neue Galerie on Museum Mile, serving Austrian pastries, coffee and dishes amid period furnishings.
Tour operator
A long-running sightseeing cruise company sailing from Pier 83 on West 42nd Street, with full-island, half-island and evening harbour tours.
Restaurant
A Lower East Side institution since 1888, famous for hand-carved pastrami on rye, corned beef and its role in When Harry Met Sally.
Attraction
