For a local night out on the town, consider catching a show at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and then grab a bite to the eat at the retro Ellen’s Stardust Diner, where the singing waiters, indoor train and drive-in theatre screen make it a popular draw.

John F Kennedy and Newark Liberty international airports are both 15 miles away, while La Guardia is nine miles away.

Certain public areas of this 54-storey building can feel a little corporate, but there are also thoughtful design touches applied here and there, such as the Manhattan map on the glass doors of the restaurant.

Bigger than average rooms present contemporary decor, upscale amenities and floor-to-ceiling windows framing sublime Manhattan views. Specific features include geometric-print chairs, framed art prints, Keurig coffee machines and empty mini fridges.
