Vow Wow
With a $12.3 million makeover of the Manhattan Marriage Bureau, New York City is set to challenge Las Vegas for the title of top wedding destination in the United States. Situated in a historic building in Lower Manhattan, the revamped facilities include a spacious waiting area and gift shop. Want to have your very own ceremony on-site? Visit cityclerk.nyc.gov for details.
Good Eats
Whether you’re planning an intimate celebratory dinner pour deux or a cocktail reception for all your nearest and dearest, Métrazur (charliepalmer.com) in Grand Central Station is an unforgettable venue.
Sweet Sleeps
Where you choose to stay will definitely shape your New York experience. Here are three of our fave hotels around town:
Downtown
For one of the best views in the Big Apple, book yourselves a Harbor View suite at the Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park (ritzcarlton.com/batterypark). Besides 400 thread-count Frette linens and Bulgari bath products, your room also includes a telescope for checking out the nearby Statue of Liberty. And don’t forget to investigate the spa during your stay—this is the only facility in New York that uses Prada beauty products.
