For a meal with a view

While Manhattan is home to many scenic dining establishments, BG Restaurant is one that should not be missed. This iconic restaurant on the seventh floor of luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman features floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook Central Park. Drink in the sumptuous views as you dine on elevated comfort food such as lobster pot pie, truffle chicken BLT and the signature Gotham Salad. Bonus: The restaurant is a mere 10-minute stroll from The Central at 5th by Hilton Club.

Every U.S. traveler 18 years of age and older will soon need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the country.

Enjoy delicious brunch dishes, such as grilled salmon, at The Smith

For a hearty brunch

In a city where brunch is a beloved weekend tradition, it’s a must to book ahead if you want to nab a seat at the hottest tables in town. Make a reservation at The Smith, a popular brasserie that serves a tantalizing all-day breakfast menu on weekends: Think outsized salads, steak and eggs (with your choice of beef), and enormous platters of bacon and sausages. Sip on heady tipples, such as the bourbon-based Barnstormer or the classic Bloody Mary, which is prepared using a secret recipe. After a satisfying meal, head back to your suite at West 57th Street by Hilton Club, which is just a 20-minute walk away.

The Modern is situated on the grounds of the Museum of Modern Art

For fine dining

Situated within the distinctive Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and just a five-minute drive from The Quin by Hilton Club, two-Michelin-starred The Modern serves contemporary American haute cuisine complete with stellar views of the museum’s sculpture garden. Customers can choose from either a three-course prix fixe menu or a six-course tasting menu for lunch, while dinner is a lavish six-course affair. Wine lovers will appreciate the restaurant’s extensive selection, which features over 3,000 labels from around the world.

For wallet-friendly eats

The Halal Guys started out as a food truck catering to Muslim cab drivers in New York City, but it has since expanded all across the country. At the street food brand’s West 53rd Street outlet — a five-minute walk from The Quin by Hilton Club — you can enjoy the same chicken and gyro over rice and falafel sandwiches that made it famous. Remember to leave some room for the decadent baklava.

HGV Members have plenty of options when it comes to accommodation in New York City. West 57th Street by Hilton Club and The Quin by Hilton Club are now open and accepting Club Member reservations, while The Central at 5th by Hilton Club is officially opening in late July. Members who own at The Central at 5th by Hilton Club, The District by Hilton Club, The Quin by Hilton Club and The Residences by Hilton Club are part of the Hilton Club Priority exchange window. They can exchange into one another’s property during the 15-day reciprocal exchange window (104–90 days from check out) without competing with Members who do not own an interest at these resorts.

The vegan dishes served at Eleven Madison Park, such as fried pepper with Swiss chard, all come beautifully plated

For vegan fare

Celebrated fine dining restaurant Eleven Madison Park recently announced that it is going vegan. Instead of signature creations like lavender-honey roast duck and suckling pig confit, its 12-course tasting menu now features plant-based fare derived entirely from vegetables, fruits, legumes, fungi and grains. Book a table for dinner and sample a smorgasbord of innovative dishes, such as amaranth seed and sweet peas in almond cream and pea-miso purée, before taking a 25-minute stroll back to your suite at The Central at 5th by Hilton Club.
