Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, a black Puerto Rican, set himself to accumulating materials about blacks in America, and his massive collection -- one of the largest collections of African-American materials in the world -- is now housed and preserved at this research branch of the New York Public Library. The Exhibition Hall, the Latimer/Edison Gallery, and the Reading Room host changing exhibits related to black culture, such as Lest We Forget: The Triumph over Slavery and Masterpieces of African Motherhood. A rich calendar of talks and performing arts events is also part of the continuing program. Make an appointment for a guided tour so you can see the 1930s murals by Harlem Renaissance artist Aaron Douglas; it'll be worth your while. Academics and others interested in a more complete look at the center's holdings can preview what's available online. Call to inquire about current exhibitions and information on tours and public programs.
Louis Armstrong House Museum
What is it about celebrities' homes that we find so fascinating? Is it that we get to see how they lived away from the glare of the cameras; how they functioned on a daily basis just like the rest of us? Armstrong was an international celebrity and could have lived anywhere, yet this unassuming, bi-level house in the working-class neighborhood of Corona, Queens, was the great Satchmo's home from 1943 until his death in 1971. It was bought and designed by his fourth wife, Lucille, who lived in it until her death in 1983. No one has lived in the house since and in 2003, the house, a National Historic Landmark and a New York City landmark, opened its doors to the public as a museum. The 40-minute tour takes you through the small, impeccably preserved home and explains the significance of each room to both Louis and Lucille. My favorite is Armstrong's den, where he kept his reel-to-reel tape recordings, cataloging everything he taped -- music, conversations, and compositions, some of which are displayed on his desk. The house also includes a small exhibit with some of his memorabilia, including two of his trumpets, and a guest shop, where many of his CDs are for sale along with other Satchmo-centric items. If you have any interest in jazz and in Armstrong, this is a must see.
Studio Museum in Harlem
This small but lovely museum is devoted to presenting 19th- and 20th-century African-American art as well as 20th-century African and Caribbean art and traditional African art and artifacts. Rotating exhibitions are a big part of the museum's focus, such as Smithsonian African-American Photography: The First 100 Years, 1842-1942; the silk-screens and lithographs of Jacob Lawrence; and an annual exhibition of works by emerging artists as part of its Artists-in-Residence program. There's also a small sculpture garden, a good gift shop, and a full calendar of special events.
Plaza Hotel
There's no denying the glamour and recognizability of the Plaza, probably the Big Apple's most famous hotel. The 1907 landmark French Renaissance palace was refurbished by the Fairmont chain, which recently renovated the guest rooms and lobby to the tune of $60 million and added the 8,000-square-foot Plaza Spa. Halls and rooms are decorated in an opulent traditional style in soft, elegant colors, with nice touches such as pillow-top mattresses and big leather-top desks; everything is fresh and immaculately detailed. The redone park-view rooms feature PCs. Even the smallest room is a reasonable size, and the building's U shape means that every one gets a measure of fresh air and sunlight. Some suites still boast lavish, look-how-much-money-I-have red and gold decor.Good news on the dining and drinking front: The dusty old Edwardian Room has been reinvented as One CPS, a stylish American brasserie; the Palm Court still serves elegant tea; the Oyster Bar is an authentic pub straight outta the British Isles; and the Oak Bar is still one of Manhattan's most legendary cocktail spots.Tourist hordes can give the public spaces a theme-park feel and, truthfully, there are many better options in this category, but few are as legendary.Facilities: 4 restaurants; excellent full-service spa and health club with Jacuzzi and sauna; concierge (with Clefs d'Or distinction) and ticket desk; car-rental desk; business center with secretarial services; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; dry cleaning/laundry service; video and CD libraries; executive-level rooms.
The Mark
Just a block separates the Mark from its chief hotel rival (the Carlyle) on that coveted stretch of Upper East Side real estate that comprises the boutiques of Madison Avenue and Museum Mile. Both feature impeccable service and comfort, but the Carlyle is more of a white-gloved grande dame, while the Mark prides itself on its motto, "no jacket, no tie, no attitude." Don't let that motto fool you, however, into thinking the Mark is one of those ultra-trendy, shallowly hip downtown hotels; it is surprisingly and happily quite traditional. All the rooms are spacious, with high ceilings, and decorated in soft tones that give them a warm, homey feel. All have fax machines and most have kitchenettes. The suites vary in size and some have terraces, dining areas, and French doors. The bathrooms on the top floors have been newly renovated in marble, but I prefer the look of the familiar white and black tile bathrooms on the lower floors.Off the small lobby is the intimate, cozy, and very popular Mark's Bar, while Mark's restaurant, also off the lobby, is an underrated pleasure. On Monday's, sommelier Richard Dean conducts wine-class dinners. Afternoon tea at the Mark is a treat hosted by Tea Master Ringo Lo, who changes the tea menu daily, creating some amazingly exotic Asian-influenced concoctions in the process.
Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel
This attractive and intimate Irish-themed hotel is from the Dublin-based Fitzpatrick chain, and it's a terrific choice for those who like the creature comforts a chain hotel can offer but detest the generic blandness that's usually part of the package. Kelly green-carpeted hallways lead to guest rooms that are pleasingly modern with traditional European accents. Half-canopies are a unique and sophisticated touch, and three phones, a fridge stocked with Irish spring water, windows that shut out the street noise and open to let fresh air in, and sharp white and navy blue-tiled bathrooms with lots of space and makeup mirrors add to the comfort level. The L-shaped junior suites also have VCRs, CD players, and extra TVs (including one in the giant bathroom), but a sitting room sans pullout sofa means they're most suited for couples looking for luxury. The Garden Suites boast outdoor patios and big, beautifully tiled bathrooms, making them a worthy splurge. The staff is accustomed to catering to U.N. dignitaries, so you can reasonably expect your needs to be well met. The Wheeltapper Pub is an attractive and comfortable Irish pub serving genuine, affordable pub grub as well as Sunday brunch.
