New York City Bar Association 1 Headquarters and Offices Historic Site Midtown West

Unlike some of its neighbors, shortly after a group of lawyers and law students founded the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, they moved into this address...and stayed. That was in 1896. Today, the organization's name has been slightly altered, but its mission remains somewhat the same. Members "actively engage in social issues," and have continuously fought for human rights both here and abroad, offering pro bono legal services when necessary. Designed in 1894 by architect Cyrus L. W. Eidlitz, this home of the New York City Bar Association is a true architectural gem. The design is neoclassical, the material is limestone. As per usual for this block, the building is a NYC Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. Really, words and photographs do not do the building justice.

The Chatwal New York

Located in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Times Square lies a hotel that is the perfect blend of old world glamour and modern luxury. A landmark building designed by Stanford White and finished in the early 1900s, it was originally the home of the Lambs Club, an organization of actors, reminiscent of the previous London location. Opening its doors as The Chatwal New York in 2010, architect Thierry Despont oversaw the entire redesign of the hotel. He was incredibly meticulous about maintaining as much of its past as possible while also introducing it to the sophisticated clientele of the twenty-first century. His work has included the restoration of the Statue of Liberty, The Carlyle, Claridges in London and a host of others. After admiring the attractive lobby and bar, where we sampled two of their signature drinks - the Lamb's Club Cup (cucumber, lime, fresh raspberries, ginger syrup, white vermouth, St. Germain, gin, and topped off with club soda), and the Goldrush (honey syrup, lemon juice and bourbon), we were escorted on a small tour of the guest rooms upstairs. It was evident in the Producer's suite with its private terrace and view of Times Square, that they spared no expense in each appointment of the room. The cedar-lined closets as well as the drawer and door handles were wrapped in leather. We also took note of the old movie playing in the elevators and the hallways lined with classic movie posters. Richly decadent, sleekly fashionable, and consciously sexy, the Chatwal is a quintessential midtown hotel that took into consideration every detail necessary for an extravagant stay.
