TRIED & TRUE FROM UPTOWN TO DOWN

perfect for people-watching. The Surrey’s doorman welcomes guests and their pooches returning from a walk in the park. Other guests wheel in chic bicycles. Welcome home to the Surrey. The vibe is relaxed, high-end casual, like you’re at your very own exclusive Upper East Side address. Once you enter the boutique hotel, don’t be surprised by the floor to ceiling woven image of Kate Moss’s head by Chuck Close. (Apparently, her torso and legs hang in other destinations.) Is it cocktail time? Try Bar Pleiades or the Sur- rey’s private roof garden. Bar Pleiades is the newest addition to the Café Boulud family, named for the beloved French restaurant frequented by Manhattan’s art world elite of the 1970s and ‘80s. Bar Pleiades is a destination, a fabulous chic bar and lounge inspired by Coco Chanel. Open 12pm-12am, 7 days a week. On Fridays, it’s 1930s and 1940s jazz by the James Zeller Trio from 9pm-midnight. www.thesurrey.com CORNELIA SPA A spa experience is one you anticipate and hope will be transformative.
