Taste New York at Paola’s Restaurant

January 22nd, 2010

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.

Thanks to the New York Social Diary, who attended our grand re-opening party to celebrate our new look and enjoyed bites from Paola’s.

You know, we hadn’t thought about it that way – but it’s totally true. Hotel Wales is smartly positioned in the Upper East Side and offers the quaint, quiet ambiance your family members would love. Plus, they will be super close to all the great restaurants, which means you won’t have to cook for them every night. :-)

It looks like people are wondering if the place is tasty. If you have been there, you should let them know what you think of it.

And please stop into Paola’s the next time you are in the Upper East. The food is to die for.
