MICHELIN MEAT-UP

One of New York’s newest Michelin-starred restaurants, bōm is an elegant 17-seat marble chef’s counter within sister restaurant Oiji Mi serving a 12-plus course tasting menu that takes you on a tour through Korean flavors. Starting with astoundingly intricate and delicate first bites, the meal gradually crescendoes to consecutive beef courses, all aged in different methods. You’re presented with a preview of the cuts you’ll be enjoying to whet your appetite before the meal begins, each of which is grilled in front of you Korean BBQ-style with an aromatic sizzle. Count on learning Korean words throughout the evening if you wish, or you can just sit back in the supremely comfortable leather chairs and enjoy your meat and (Okinawan sweet) potatoes. 17 W 19th Street, bom-nyc.com

LIVING LARGE

At Crowne Plaza HY36, you can snag one of the largest guestrooms in Midtown Manhattan without the steep price point. It’s an under-the-radar pick for anyone attending a conference at the Javits Center, with incredibly caring and attentive service to boot. Four executive suites including the 27th floor Manhattan and Broadway Suites – feature two full bathrooms stocked with full-size Brooklyn-based Apotheke bath amenities and a Peloton bike. There are two more Peloton bikes in the newly renovated fitness center for all guests to ride as well. For a limited time, one of the executive suites will transform into The Wiz Suite in honor of the iconic show’s Broadway comeback, with design inspiration from the land of Oz and a Toto stuffed animal. 320 W 36th Street, crowneplazahy36.com

SUSHI ON THE RUN

If you can’t get a reservation at Jōji’s ten-seat sushi counter, don’t fret. The intimate omakase restaurant is overseen by a trio of master sushi chefs in partnership with Daniel Boulud, and they also offer omakase sushi boxes for takeout and delivery. This is the best to-go sushi in New York, and an absolute delight during a busy day of meetings or as a working lunch at your desk. Courier delivery service is available across all of midtown Manhattan, extending to 79th Street on the Upper East Side and as far south as Union Square. Joji Box selections change daily based on the availability of fresh seafood flown in from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, and you can also order nigiri, sashimi, and maki rolls a la carte if you have any special requests. 1 Vanderbilt Avenue, jojiboxnyc.com

SEAPORT ESCAPE

33 Seaport is a charming boutique hotel with just 66 rooms, and a great place to stay if you’re spending time in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Guest rooms have picturesque views of the Brooklyn Bridge, East River, and New York skyline, and premium rooms and suites include outdoor terraces too, a perfect perch to drink in a New York City spring. Plus, Restaurant Pearl is far more interesting than a typical hotel restaurant, serving Korean-inspired fare like dried persimmon overnight oats for breakfast, and bibimbap, lettuce wraps, and rice cake, pork belly, and tofu street skewers at dinner. 33 Peck Slip, 33seaporthotelnyc.com

JUST PEACHY

Springtime is magic in the Big Apple, and to get in the spirit, Walker Hotel Tribeca partnered with Pantone to transform one of its guestrooms into a Peach Fuzz extravaganza, inspired by Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year. The entire room is drenched from head-to-toe in the classic spring hue, from fresh peach-tinted bedding from BedThreads to peachy clean bath mats and rugs from the Ruggable x Pantone collection. Even the mini fridge, espresso cups, and vintage tea kettle received the peach treatment. Guests also receive specialty goodies with their stay, including welcome bellinis from the hotel’s signature restaurant Mostrador NYC, Ever Skincare lip therapy in Pretty Pink, a Clementine Sleepwear silk sleep mask, T3 Afar travel hair dryer, Happy Place waffle bath robe, and more. The room is bookable through April 30. 77 Walker Street, walkerhotels.com
