Insider Insights "Play ping pong on Park Avenue in a clubby atmosphere. Susan Sarandon is one of the partners of the newly opened SPIN NYC (http://www.spinyc.com)." Lisa Sherman "You must stop for a drink at the trendiest place of the moment, ‘The Bar’ at the newly opened Crosby Street Hotel" Diana O’Sullivan "Eating out for dinner? Head to Hell’s Kitchen for the best food in town. The streets have heaps of delicious restaurants with worldwide cuisines for anybody’s palate. Eat between 7-8pm because after that the New Yorkers go out to eat and there are queues!" Andy Thompson "Head to Manhattan’s largest rooftop bar, 230 Fifth, for Champagne Party Brunch on Saturday or Sunday from 11am to 5pm year-round, rain or shine, on its huge palm-decorated roof top deck and adjoining enclosed lounge. There are more than 40 dishes on offer, most priced at a steal between US$8 and US$12. I recommend sampling a signature dish like “Liquored Up” French toast on matzah brei. Or why not treat yourself to a speciality cocktail, or a glass of bubbles - they serve six champagnes by the bottle and the magnum!" Tim Paulsen
