The Warwick


While in New York we stayed at the Warwick. It was quiet, clean and in a great location. Kim enjoyed getting coffee across the street at The Blue Bottle every morning. We often ordered breakfast for pick up at a Fresh&Co a block away. There was a subway stop on the corner although we didn’t make use of it due to Ava’s injury. We were just a couple of blocks from Central Park, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center and Times Square. 

The Warwick was built in 1926 by William Randolph Hearst to be a place to stay for his girlfriend who was performing in the Ziegfeld Follies a block away  Cary Grant lived here for 12 years and you can rent out his suite. Elvis stayed here many times and this is where The Beatles were staying when Bob Dylan came to visit them. Many celebrities and historic figures have frequented the place and it is still in top shape. If I return to NYC this is where I would like to stay again.
