If you’ve visited New York City in the past decade, chances are you’ve set foot in – or at least seen – the Time Warner Center. The dining, hotel, shopping and entertianment mecca is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year with a special $10k package offering the best of all that the city has to offer.
You’ll stay at the Mandarin Oriental in a Premier Central Park View Suite. Have you been here yet? We’re big fans. You’ll enjoy daily breakfast, served in suite or in the hotel’s signature restaurant, Asiate, as well as a trip to award-winning Spa. The Couples Escape treatment takes place in a private Spa Suite, complete with side-by-side “Time Rituals,” the spa’s signature treatment, followed by a bath, private time and the spa’s signature Five Elements Bento.
That night, you’ll sample a nine-course tasting menu (plus wine!) at Thomas Keller’s famed Per Se, one of the most coveted tables in the city. The Michelin three star restaurant remains one of the hottest tables in the world, and guests also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes private tour of Per Se’s kitchen.
There’s little doubt that you’ll be eating your way through some of the city’s finest, because the next day, you’ll get “a taste of Italy” at A Voce Columbus, where you’ll enjoy a one-hour pasta making class and four-course lunch, plus a bottle of wine from the restaurant’s 8,000+ bottle collection.
That night, you’ll enjoy some legendary jazz at Lincoln Center, plus a private backstage tour to walk the halls that have welcomed jazz legends such as Ornette Coleman, Wynton Marsalis, and Maria Schneider, VIP concert seating in The Appel Room, Rose Theater or Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, and an exclusive meet and greet with performers, subject to availability.
Since you’ll need to look your best for this experience, the package also includes personal shopper to help navigate the latest trends and fashions throughout The Shops at Columbus Circle, including stores such as
C. Wonder, Cole Haan, Hugo Boss, L.K. Bennett, Stuart Weitzman and Thomas Pink.
If you’re going to book the package, will you do us a favor and shoot us an email? We want to petition to be your +1.
