But are they an ideal fit for your group's sense of style and luxury as an after-hours option? That potential conflict is being addressed by a n

Two key components of the exciting Hudson Yards development in Manhattan's West Side are a "Shed", opening in 2019, and one of the most unusual pieces of outdoor art, which is called "Vessel."

While retail overall has had a tough year globally, Downtown Manhattan's shopping scene is exploding with luxury brands and entries into brick and mortar from hot online companies. In addition to major anchors like Zara, we are especially excited to see UNTUCKit, a major online option for men's high-end casual and dress shirts made to be worn untucked, and Indochino, a custom men's clothing brand, arrive Downtown. This is great news for destination corporate meeting groups me

It's not often we recommend a chain as an idea for corporate meeting dinners, but one that has arrived from China is so hot that reservations for the general public are known to be made at least 5 months in advance. And with this venue comes the world's most famous Peking duck. This dining experience is so delicate that it takes six days to prepare each duck, which is expertly carved tableside into 96 pieces. We hear the skin basically shatters when your attendees cut into it
