Miss you. I’ll just have to come back out to Seattle again before too long. </p> <p>I’ve blocked off the weekend on my calendar. Just need to choose a place to stay. I’ve stayed at a lot of the Marriott properties mentioned here — the Courtyard near Times Square is solid, and I like the nostalgia of the Algonquin but the last time we were there we had a very small room, which I don’t mind so much if I’m not traveling with my husband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/3#post-2413498 Thu, 21 May 2026 00:52:10 +0000 Angie 2413498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo, <b>Mary</b> and <b>Emily</b>!

There is a courtyard/Manhattan central on broadway and 54th. </p> <p>Those are Marriott hotels nearest to the uws which Angie likes as a neighborhood.</p> <p>It all depends on which part of the city you would like to stay. </p> <p>SO DISAPPOINTED I AM MISSING THIS</p> <p>GAH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/2#post-2413428 Wed, 20 May 2026 11:42:30 +0000 Suntiger 2413428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Changing my comment to say likely not. It would be about 10 hrs of travel time total, and definitely wouldn't spend the night. I'd love to meet with you all, but I need to be in places where I can see the horizon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/2#post-2413421 Wed, 20 May 2026 06:29:06 +0000 AJ 2413421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'm exploring my options! is there a major shopping area you had in mind so that I can narrow my hotel search? </p> <p>bj1111, there are two Courtyards: one on 37th and the other on 40th. Which one were you recommending? </p> <p>Also if I go, is there anyone interested in attending a theater production with me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/2#post-2413402 Tue, 19 May 2026 23:38:43 +0000 Angie 2413402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>ETA: FINAL DATES: (I've booked my fights and accommodation </b></p> <p><b>There will be TWO gatherings in Manhattan:</b></p> <p><b><u>Friday Sept 18:</u> For anyone who is already in NYC and wants to shop and hang out with me! </b></p> <p><b><u>Sat Sept 19:</u> The OFFICIAL BIG gathering. </b></p> <p><b>Details of where to meet, TBC.

Quiet with a Paris baguette only a block away—if you like Korean interpretations of French pastries. </p> <p>The egg tarts are tdf. Not as good as @Angie will have experience in HK, tho it scratches the occasional itch h for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/2#post-2413220 Mon, 18 May 2026 16:38:02 +0000 Angie 2413220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, yes! We like the Upper West Side. Charming and quiet. LOVE the Belleclaire. Citizen M, although very modern, can be very basic - warning you ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>We'll be booking our NYC flights and accommodation this week! Did lots of thinking and planning yesterday figuring out all the moving parts. <br />I booked Sam and Jo into daycare and boarding this morning!! Final NYC plans are well on their way :)&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/2#post-2413219 Mon, 18 May 2026 15:58:54 +0000 Janet 2413219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, the Belleclaire looks charming and what a good deal!</p> <p>BJ1111, I’ve never stayed at the St Regis, but the Ritz Carlton a few blocks away from there, right on the park, is one of our favorite “use up the points” places. Also, the New York Edition next to Madison Square Park. </p> <p>CitizenM in the Bowery looks fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/2#post-2413177 Sun, 17 May 2026 17:24:57 +0000 Angie 2413177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Naz</b>!

Stayed in a dutch Citizen M.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've stayed at the <b>Hotel Belleclaire</b> on the Upper West Side many times.

I don’t know where I’ll stay, but probably a Marriott property since we have a lot of points with them. But I’m open to suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/east-coasters-nyc-gathering-brainstorm/page/2#post-2413169 Sun, 17 May 2026 15:34:33 +0000 citygirldc 2413169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone know where they are staying?&nbsp; I'd rather stay somewhere in SoHo if that's where we plan to shop. Someone also mentioned Belvedere (Hell's Kitchen) which is Mid-town, so I'm kind of trying to figure out what to do. </p>
