Barge Cruises in Provence:

HAWAII:

NEW YORK:
3 great but inexpensive NYC hotels

3 great but reasonable hotels:
The Kimberly Hotel
145 East 50th Street 10022
212-702-1600
best bed I ever had, great restaurant (O'Neill's), staff that treats you like they want you back, and a fab location! One bus route circles west on 49th to the theatre district and around and back on 50th. Perfect. 1/2 block from Waldorf Astoria and "W" hotels, but nicer. Originally recommended to me by Diane Schurr
and Gary Scherrer. Also includes privileges at NY Health and Racquet Club's 75-ft yacht.

The Mansfield Hotel (recommended by famous actress)
12 W. 44th Street
212-277-8700
fab location between 5th and 6th Avenues
my friend the theatre producer stays there a lot!

The Carnegie Hotel
229 West 58th (between Broadway and 7th) 10019
212-245-4000
only 4 rooms to a floor, all with full kitchen
and fabulous grocery/deli across the street.

Or incredible townhome deal:

35th Avenue between Park and Madison (Murray Hill neighborhood)
Townhomes, brownstones, complete apartments with bedrooms, living rooms, STOCKED kitchens, private phone with answ. machines, housekeeping, generally $150 - $180. Owned by the Community Church. But call Charlotte McPherson (their manager) a delightful person at 212-228-4645 or email her at OffPark@earthlink.net and make all your friends jealous with the deal of the ever!

My Favorite Restaurant:
Chez Josephine (as in Josephine Baker, her son is host and it has a sense of being a "salon" and you are treated like the most welcome guest!)
414 W. 42nd Street 10036
212-594-1925 www.ChezJosephine.com

PALM SPRINGS

Palm Springs: ORBIT IN 370 W. Arenas (easy 2 block walk to Palm Canyon Dr below the beautiful homes
and shadows of the mountain 877-996-7248

Mid-century 9 unit motel with designer furnishings by Eames, Saarinen, Naguchi, etc, each room unique, free high speed wireless internet, free parking (which is not the usual in P.S.!) great pool and poolside bar with hosted cocktail hour, soft drinks for the taking all day, free Continental Breakfast, free bikes to use. Fabulous beds, kitchenettes, sitting areas in the rooms, vcr and cd players. But the best thing is that they make you feel like it is your home. We shared our two evenings with honeymooners from England and Brooklyn! Fun!
