@TimesSquareEdition

The Times Square EDITION Hotel is created by hospitality icon Ian Schrager in partnership with Marriott International. Notably, this sophisticated and luxurious property also boasts a Michelin-starred chef, Chef John Fraser of 701 West. In addition, guests, travelers and staycationers will enjoy the Golden Age of Times Square with pristine, white and black spaces, greenery and zen which are juxtaposed against the energy and vibrancy that exists in the heart of midtown..

“The Times Square EDITION is an entirely new lens on Times Square. From and aerie above the hubbub below, you can engage, observe or withdraw. The hotel is an oasis of sophistication brought to you through the insight of the incomparable Ian Schrager, my friend and partner. There is simply nothing like it.” Arne Sorenson, President and CEO, Marriott International.

For entertainment, Brooklyn’s House of Yes team has created a high production theater and performance art experience with the property’s The Paradise Club. “Paradise Club is a place of aspiration...Invention and reinvention...A refuge to enjoy life and forget life and the perfect place to escape into fantasy.” Ian Schrager

@QualityMeats_

When we’re looking for a great steak experience, we make our way to Quality Branded’s flagship location of Quality Meats in NYC. Whether you’re enjoying a business dinner, drinks with friends or taking your family or significant other out, we always suggest having a meal here at this modern twist on American classic fare. Known for its industrial décor which evokes the look and feel of traditional butcher shops in NYC while mixing in warmwood, stainless steel and white marble.

Obviously, when coming to dine for either lunch or dinner, steak is always something that you should consider when you’re making selections off of the menu. We like starting our meal off with a selection of their oysters along with their Lobster Cocktail. In addition to having a great selection of meats, it’s also a fantastic place for seafood as well (we’re always oscilating between the Hangar Steak with Brandied Cherries, Roasted Lemon with Chicken Confit and East Coast Halibut). Making the meal a complete experience includes a selection of sides (Herb Roasted Potatoes, Buttered Edamame with Mint Salt and Yorkshire Creamed Spinach) that focus on a modern take on American classics while also having an extensive cocktail, spirits and wine list. We suggest a Smoky Gimlet with every meal.

To ensure the optimal meal, their dessert selection is worth taking a few moments to check out as well. A decadent meal should conclude with their Salted Caramel S’more or a scoop of Pumpkin Chai!

Store your luggage and decide between spending time in their Wellness Spa for complimentary treatments, opting for a snooze in their relaxation pods or even taking a shower to refresh yourself - there are plenty of ways to pass the time comfortably. Of course, you can lounge and chat with fellow travelers, play some games or simply lounge at your discretion.

We also suggest that you take full advantage of their complimentary a la carte menu which includes their signature Clubhouse Burger and it wouldn’t be complete without enjoying a cocktail as well to enhance your experience.
