Alexandra Greenawalt: Blackout and creme brulee for decadence. Crystalized ginger, vanillia bean, and triple chocolate also amazing but more subtle
Serious Eats: Best Oatmeal Doughnut: Toasted oatmeal and tiny flecks of cashews, plus sunflower seeds, cranberries, and apricot mix—it's a glorious sight. Read more.
Serious Eats: These doughnuts may be pricier than most, but they're worth it. Go for the carrot cake, or the crème brûlée, or the tres leches...oh, who are we kidding, they're all pretty awesome.

John F: Beautiful and amazing hotel. Very caring and helpful at check in. Valet parking was a little frustrating as it was amidst a shift change at check in. Had to self park. Will stay again.
Holly Ringle: Ask for a room ending in 05 as high up as they have available for a view of the Empire State Building!
Delaney: The gym is super nice and open late, terrace open until 10, great place to hang with friends, and free wifi. :)
