New York City's Top Concierges Reveal Big Apple Secrets

- - - -

NEW YORK, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 39 million tourists are expected to visit New York City in 2001, but not all of them will enjoy the Perfect Manhattan Experience. With 18,000 restaurants, 68,900 hotel rooms and countless attractions, it's easy to be overwhelmed by choices.

So, the folks from Gentleman Jack Rare Tennessee Whiskey surveyed concierges from New York City's finest hotels about where visitors to the Big Apple should eat, star watch, drink and more.

If you're looking for romance, here are a few places to investigate: The W Hotel, The Four Seasons and the SoHo Grand's concierges recommend Alison on Dominick. La Grenouille gets the nod from the Carlyle and the Four Seasons' top concierges. The Mark, SoHo Grand and Paramount send visitors to One if by Land, Two if by Sea. St. Regis' concierge approves of March, while the New York Palace recommends Erminia.

When it comes to sipping on the Perfect Gentleman Jack Manhattan, the city offers a plethora of choices. The New York Palace's concierge will send you to King Cole at the St. Regis. The SoHo Grand and W say you can't beat Lot 61, while the Four Seasons thinks their bar is the best place for New York's namesake drink. The Carlyle also takes pride in their house bar, Bemelman's. The St.Regis approves of the Rainbow Grill at Rockefeller Center, and The Mark likes Windows on the World's Manhattan.

Other favorites of New York City's top concierges include:

For those who want to experience the Perfect Manhattan without traveling to the city, it's only a few shakes away. New York's signature drink was reportedly invented by Winston Churchill's mother, Lady Jenny Churchill, who first served the classic cocktail at the Manhattan Club in New York.

The Classic Gentleman Jack Manhattan

2 ounces Gentleman Jack Rare Tennessee Whiskey, 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth and dash of bitters stirred with ice in a mixing glass. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass or on the rocks. Garnish with a cherry.
