Q + A

Elegant and perfectly located, Park Lane offers luxury accommodations just steps away from the ceremony site. Guests will also enjoy the added convenience of having the rooftop bar -- where we'll be celebrating the cake cutting-- right at the hotel! With stunning views of Central Park and a prime midtown location, it's the most seamless and scenic choice for the weekend.

A solid mid-range choice near Madison Square Park, The Heritage Hotel offers a convenient base in Manhattan with easy access to several subway lines (R, W, F, and 1).

At this massive art institution, find the classics in contemporary art (Picasso, Matisse, Pollock), alongside art by&nbsp;new and up-and-coming artists, with a special focus on women and artists of color. The museum covers a whopping 708,000 square feet,&nbsp;and every inch is packed with paintings, sculptures and films. The galleries are divided by era, so you can literally walk through the evolution of&nbsp;modern art.

Visit MoMa

In a city famously known as a concrete jungle with crowded streets, astronomical property rates and few green spaces, the High Line is a key example of New York’s willingness to transform, adapt and innovate.

Walk the High LIne

Beyond the iconic, show-stopping displays—the grizzly bear in the Hall of North American Mammals, the 94-feet long blue whale, the prehistoric Barosaurus skeleton rearing up as if to scare the adjacent Allosaurus skeleton—is an expertly curated, 150-year-old museum that fills visitors of all ages with a curiosity about the universe.

The hippies who famously turned up and tuned out in Washington Square Park are still there in spirit, and indeed often in person. In warmer months the park—which was once a potter’s field—is one of the best people-watching spots in the city, humming with musicians and street artists, while skateboarders clatter near the base of the iconic 1895 Washington Arch (a modest replica of Paris’s Arc de Triomphe). Plus, kids can splash in the area's fountain on sweltering days.

Hang out in Washington Square Park

The Blue Note prides itself on being "the jazz capital of the world." Bona fide musical titans (Chick Corea, Ron Carter) rub against hot young talents, while the close-set tables in the club get patrons rubbing up against each other. Arrive early to secure a good spot.
