I am not of the radio generation – that was my mother and another, gentler time – but, better late than never, I have discovered its magic. Soothing yet stimulating, it hums along in the background of my workday until, seemingly subconsciously, a bell goes off and the voice cuts through all other noise and thought and captures my attention. But, then, it is not any voice. These are the mellifluous voices of Amy and Leonard and Brian, the hysterically funny voices of the Tappet Brothers, the friendly and fresh voices of Carl and Peter quizzing listeners like you and me and, finally, the down home, ‘curl up and imagine’ voice of Garrison K. These are the voices of WNYC – to me, the best offering of news, culture, music and story to be found anywhere; and I mean anywhere.
There is so much more to WNYC and its smart, intelligent, entertaining, deep, thoughtful, funny, hysterical and warm offerings that you should take a look at their website www.wnyc.org or, better yet, turn your dial to FM93.9 or AM820.
Tim and Kit Kemp, founders of Firmdale Hotels, have just opened their second NY property at 18 West 56th Street, 2 blocks from Central Park and steps away from great shops, restaurants and museums. The Whitby is as stylish as their downtown Crosby Street Hotel - in fact, I prefer it, finding the public spaces warmly inviting and the top floor 2-bedroom suite with furnished terraces divine. All the comfortably spacious rooms are flooded with light and delight with the choice of art, fabrics and attention to detail. Each room is unique and so, if you come and go with regular frequency, try them all until you find the one that perfectly suits!
