Looking for the perfect Manhattan day-planner idea? Hotel Wales is within steps of the Museum Mile, making it the ideal spot to escape the bustle of Midtown hotels and enjoy New York like a local. Plus, Hotel Wales is home to Paola’s Restaurant, one of the best Italian restaurants in New York (and that’s saying a lot, right?)
Check out the Gayot review of Paola’s. Gayot gives props to Paola Bottero for being one of New York first noted female chefs and compares the eatery to “a warm sweater.” Cozy and delicious? Count us in.

You’ve got style – that’s what all the girls say. You often find yourself strutting for no apparent reason. Some people think New York is a series of streets – but you see them as runways. You deserve to be noticed, so get Street Chic on the Elle News Blog. Snap a fab shot of you or a friend and email it to Elle.com’s Street Chic Daily.

You’re a thinker…a foodie with an insatiable appetite for knowledge as well as great cuisine. The Upper East Side is full of history and even more stocked with some of the best restaurants in the City. If you wonder about the history of some of New York’s oldest and most distinct restaurants, submit a question to former New York Times Dining section writer William Grimes. From 1999 to 2003, Grimes was the Times’s restaurant critic and he is also the author of the recently released “Appetite City: A Culinary History of New York.”
William Grimes will answer your culinary questions starting Wednesday, so get your questions ready.
