About 50 minutes after we left JFK, we arrived at Columbus Circle and the Trump International Hotel. We chose Trump because it is the home of two fabulous Jean-Georges restaurants and we got a good rate using Amex FHR which included daily breakfast for two, a $100 food and beverage credit, guaranteed 4pm checkout on Monday... and a upgrade at check-in to an executive city view suite. Very nice although a little dated. The staff was simply superb. The biggest complain was the lilipuchin sized bathroom.
Even a kitchenette. Perhaps this was once an apartment.
Yeah, the name is everywhere. LOL.
But jeez, even your basic Sheraton has a bigger bathroom.
We unpacked and then headed downstairs for our 9:30pm dinner rez at one of our favorite restaurants, Jean-Georges' Nougatine.
Mrs. SFO777 started with the lovely Arugula and Sucrene Lettuce Salad with Fines Herbs and Mustard Vinaigrette.
While I had my usual Jean-Georges starter, the Fried Calamari, with Aji-Amarillo Chili Emulsion and Cilantro. Outstanding.
Mrs. SFO777's Roasted Dover Sole was to die for. OMG. With Potatoes with Lemon, Herbs and Brown-Butter.
My Veal Milanese with Parmesan, Escarole and Lemon was amazing.
And a wonderful way to end the evening.
And some early morning pics.
With the sheers open, a beautiful morning in the city.
Still on Pacific time,
Mrs. SFO777 was sound asleep. So I headed out across the street to Central Park. What a gorgeous morning.
Then back to the hotel to check on Mrs. SFO777 and get ready for the rest of the day.
