When deciding on accommodations for our Mother’s Day weekend on Broadway, I always recall the stories told by my mother about when her mother (my fabulous grandmother) used to visit the city. It was old-school classic New York, long before the degradation then revitalization of Times Square, back when hotels were opulent show-pieces of grand lobbies, and women paraded down laces like the Peacock Alley of the Waldorf-Astoria in fine millinery, gussied up with gloves and veils, holding hat-boxes and shopping bags, while their male counterparts wore suits and hats and properly-shined shoes. We try to re-create that bygone era of manners and style, at least as close as modern-day society will allow without too many raised eyebrows. (It seems no one dresses for the theater anymore.)
For this year’s journey, we’ll be staying at the historic Warwick Hotel. It’s in one of our favored locales – close enough to the Park to be in proximity to beauty, yet not too far removed from the theaters where we’ll be seeing several shows. Within, Randolph’s Bar looks to provide libations for all our in-between moments, while a host of other classic New York landmarks are within easy reach.
I’ll add it to my TripAdvisor review queue and hope that it’s as stunning a stay as we enjoyed in the Towers at Lotte New York Palace of last year.
