We’re currently researching even more amazing things to do in this 24 hour city, with the added bonus of it not costing you too much more than a couple of kilos of apples. It’s not always easy to get prizes sounding like they cost the earth without them actually doing so, but we’re concentrating hard on that this year in order to meet the constraints many of you have on all matters budgetary.
As ever, Unmissable teams up with those really living the city to give you some fantastic ideas which you can mix and match according to taste, target audience and budgets.
Fresh off the plane, what could be a better way to banish the jet lag than to be whisked off to a 24 hour spa to relax and set up for the excitement of the days to come. Choose from a host of treatments that will suit guys or girls and we can even look at themed treatments to suit the brand.
Once invigorated then a little arm action could be the order of the day at the coolest celebrity bowling venue in town, where Tarantino and Liv Tyler have both shown off their prowess. We’ll get the winners in, sorted out and ready to bowl – we can even get them a night time slot as the pins glow in the dark, so there’ll be no excuses for not hitting them then.
They’ll then be getting hungry of course, so let us arrange a personalised food extravaganza tour in a chequered cab (or perhaps a cadillac?). It’s an unmissable insiders experience of the culinary delights of the city. Take in Justin Timberlake’s restaurant maybe, or how about we secure a table at Balthazar, currently riding high as one of the hippest locations in town to be seen in. Finish up by rubbing shoulders with the stars in a VIP box in Madison Square Gardens perhaps, but not before we get them made over with their own New York stylist and maybe some personal shopping at SAKS. Then of course, if you can just extend that budget a little further, we can always arrange for a backstage tour of Broadway. No one will say they haven’t lived a brand after all this on offer, particularly staying in some of the hippest locations on the block. Rates are never cheap in the city that never sleeps but we’ll do our best to get a pretty shapely price on the Soho side of Tribeca (The Greenwich) or post punk East Village (The Bowery). Better still, to take the sting out of the room price, we’ll throw in our sexy little Banish the Blues box for when they get home, with our compliments.
