W Hotel at Ground Zero

People reading my blogs on a regular basis will know that I am a fan of the W Hotels. This time I came across one I have not been to before via Hotwire, against an exceptionally low price.

The hotel is situated hard on the side of Ground Zero offering an impressive view from the hotel rooms located at the front into the memorial grounds and fountains that have been completed there.

Besides this unusual feature, the hotel has all the known comforts of a W Hotel. They seem to even get a touch better each time they open a new one.

In this particular case I was specifically impressed with the service level of all personnel. Literally everyone was at the ready to get to know you and help make your stay a pleasant one. The concierges were particularly great, and of the highest standard. The interesting thing that we noted was that the concierges desk was not hidden in a corner, like at most hotels, but so central that you couldn’t possibly miss it. A great idea.

The rooms were wonderful (see picture).

Whilst the location is unique, without a doubt, I do think that it only makes sense staying at this hotel if you have to be local. If you are in the financial district for meetings it is great, otherwise you face long metro or cab rides every time you have somewhere to go to (the underground is a few blocks away). And in the weekend this is a very quiet part of town.

Crosby Bar & Grill
79 Crosby Street, New York, NY 10012

You will find the Crosby Hotel in the heart of SoHo, the very first US hotel owned by a renowned English chain.

I was urged to go and visit the hotel for lunch, so I obliged and headed there on Saturday. Since SoHo is my favourite part of New York it’s never a punishment to head that way.

Crosby Hotel Lobby

The entree to the Crosby is spectacular, modern, light, very stylish – and forms a nice contrast to the little old cobbled street it is located in.
The restaurant is on the ground floor, next to the hotel lobby, and definitely offers that “Wow” Factor when you walk in. It is beautifully decorated.

Kristine Tonkonow, food and beverage manager, took the time to explain the secrets of their menu/restaurant. The food is modern American. I went at brunch time and all the dishes were nicely laid out, with just that touch of extra attention that make it special and attractive. The menu is all up to the latest standards of modern nutrition – it was a welcome surprise to find they offered a great selection of gluten free dishes, including bread and pastries – all superb and of a high quality.

Omelette and GF Toast!

The decor is comfortable and service as it is meant to be in a restaurant of this level- as Kristine told me “Professional and friendly, but with Attitude”.

A Must Go – if you are in New York and looking for something fresh and just a little different.

PS – next time I really would love to stay a night in the the hotel – very promising indeed!

Lark’s Creek Steak Restaurant, San Francisco

I am a frequent visitor of Lark’s Creek restaurant, located in the Westfield shopping mall. Lark’s Creek is known for their steaks and burgers.
Like most better restaurants, they have a limited menu which is the only way they can guarantee you always receive fresh ingredients.
Whilst I love the occasional burger or steak, most of the times I have lunch there, I will have the Woodsmoked Chicken Cobb salad, see picture.
It’s an absolute favourite.
The decor is nice and comfortable, service top notch.
Lark’s Creek has an open kitchen, which always gives a restaurant something special and definitely gives you the impression that they have nothing to hide.
Lark’s is the perfect place to relax after shopping in the mall.

Cobb Salad

Fuku Sushi. San Francisco

Kinokuniya bldg 1581
Websterstreet
San Francisco
CA 94115
Phone 415 346 3030

Fuku Sushi's bar

The first thought that enters your mind as you walk in, is: “this is authentic”!
You will find Fuku Sushi in the heart of Japan Town in San Francisco.
I have become quite a regular there, as the quality of the sushi is wonderful plus it’s near one of the most wonderful cinema’s I know – the Kabuki theatre.

All the dishes taste as they should and I can tell you I have had the best of educations under the stern eye of my dear friend Hideo Ito, who would take me to the best Sushi restaurants in New York and Tokyo.
Decor at Fuku Sushi is simple but effective, service is top and the Sushi out of this world.

Definitely highly recommended.
(And if you go, don’t forget to sneak in a movie at the Kabuki!)

Blaue Gans Restaurant, Tribeca, New York

139 Duane Street New York, NY 10013-3845
(212) 571-8880

Located in Tribeca, south of Canal Street, The Blaue Gans is right in the heart of an area with a great number of nice restaurants.
It surprised me, although why in am not sure, to find myself entering a German restaurant with German dishes on the menu in the heart of New York. Nobody seems to be surprised to go to a French or Italian restaurant after all.
Good thing for me was that I could at least read the menu

Service was OK, but the food was truly outstanding. Here, like in many of my favourite places, the menu was not overwhelming but contained something for everyone at the table.
All ingredients were fresh and the plates made up beautifully.

As a starter I had the Beef Consomme, with a deep beefy taste, delicious.
Main course, I obviously had the schnitzel – made with the bread crumb crust. Again, soft and wonderful served with brussel sprouts with bacon, an amazingly good combination.

Savore,
Italian Restaurant
SOHO NY

200 Spring Street New York, NY 10012-3661
(212) 431-1212

Savore has been one of my absolute favourite restaurants in New York.
Located on the corner of Spring and Sullivan streets, in the heart of South SoHo this is a perfect place to peoplewatch whilst having a wonderful meal.
On a sunny day, you can even sit outside.
Owner of Savore is Paolo, a perfectionist in his trade. In each company – an owner seems to get the personnel he or she deserves. So needless to say, Paolo’s personnel is
perfect and the service of a very high quality. The decor is inviting and nicely “italian” – given you all the ingredients for a very enjoyable meal.

Above all though, the food is authentic Italian, made with the purest, freshest ingredients and full of wonderful flavor. As it should be in a good restaurant – Savore has a limited menu which changes regularly.
Meat, Poultry and Fish – everything is served with its own sides and in sufficient quantity.

The last time I was at Savore, I had the trio of tuna – just wonderful and as a main course roasted chicken, basted and with a beautifully crispy skin on a bed of mashed potatoes and green beans.

Highly recommended to visit if you like great food in one of the nicest neighbourhoods of New York.

The Montrose Hotel and Suites, Hammond Street, West Hollywood, USA

A trusted friend recommended this hotel when we were looking for a place to stay in LA.

The Montrose is a boutique hotel located in Hollywood, close to Sunset Boulevard, but in a quiet street off the beaten track.
The hotel has all the characteristics of a boutique hotel, pleasant, educated personnel, personal service, a great restaurant where you can dine as well as have breakfast. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and to top it off, the hotel has a small pool on the rooftop with a sundeck overlooking the city.

A special element of this hotel, which they don’t advertise, is that you have unusual meetings in the Gym with band leaders from Paper Tongues, whilst they are working out or at breakfast. Our special guest at breakfast happened to be Dennis Rodham, who suddenly sat down at our breakfast table and entertained us for 45 mins., hilarious!

Cafe Zuni,

I had guest from Europe over this past week, one from France, the other from the Netherlands. We thought we’d meet over lunch and it was up to me to find a suitable restaurant, which wasn’t half as easy as I thought! All the well-known restaurants were fully booked but of course this offered a great opportunity to try something new. So looking for Top Ten restaurants in San Francisco on the internet, I found Cafe Zuni. It turned out to be a great choice. Seated on a neat mezzanine floor from which you could observe the hubbub on the ground level, we got a real feel for this busy, humming restaurant. The interior is warm and pragmatic, service great. The food was outstanding, each dish prepared fresh and with heaps of flavour. I had oysters for my main course (a nice selection from local spots) and roasted sea bass as a main course. Delicious!

Nobody hurried us along to leave, so it was a comfortably paced lunch. A visit here is definitely highly recommended – just make sure you reserve a table!

Nam restaurant

110 Reade St # 1
New York, NY 10013-3841
(212) 267-3777

You will find Nam restaurant, in the heart of Tribeca. Nam is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Clearly one of the better Vietnamese restaurants around, with wonderfully original dishes from Vietnam.

When you go to Nam with a group, it is advisable to order multiple dishes and share them so as to try out lots of different flavours. I didn’t know all the dishes on the menu. But what I found the height of Eastern hospitality is the following – I had ordered something that was not quite what I had hoped for, and I returned most of it uneaten. The owner came over to the table to ask what was wrong and then, as I explained I didn’t like it as much as the other dishes, it was graciously deducted from the bill. Quite extraordinary.

Dishes were all made with fresh ingredients, and the flavours were quite unique. You are served by the owners themselves which makes the world of difference. Definitely a recommendation, even if you have to make a small detour!

Sistermans, Hotel and Restaurant
Stationsplein 9
4702 VZ Roosendaal, Netherlands
0165 535657

Sistermans is a top restaurant located right on the border of the Netherlands with Belgium. It’s easily accessible by train from both countries. Unlike many other countries, it is quite common in the Netherlands for great restaurants to be located in remote areas, where they are almost always in inner city areas. I guess the Dutch are more inclined to travel somewhere just for a great meal.

Restaurant Sistermans was a great experience – not surprising given the reputation they have built. Interior decor is modern, not exactly with a high wow-factor though. The food is really good – for me this was a lobster bisque with tarbot as a main course. Both of exceptionally high quality. Service matched the quality of the food as should be expected at a restaurant at this level.

If you are heading from the Netherlands to Belgium or v.v., this is definitely worth a planned detour.
