How much is New York having a moment right now? Almost every one I know wants to pay The Big Apple a visit, me included. Which brings me to the reason for this post - chef Shannon Bennett of Vue de Monde notoriety has just released a book: Shannon Bennett's New York: A Personal Guide to the City's Best. It's a great read, one that I keep flicking through again and again and again. Could be all the talk of food, I'm not sure. But it makes the thought of my next NYC trip all the more exciting. And tasty.
Top hotels & restaurants according to Bennett:
Top hotels:

2. The Surrey (Upper East Side)
3. The Bowery Hotel (East Village)
4. The Standard (Meatpacking District)
