Frederick Feature

admin

Shimmie Horn’s Frederick Hotel was recently featured in the UK’s About Time Magazine.  In an article by Angelica Malin article entitled Perfe4ct Weekend 48 Hours in New York, the Frederick was said to be a “vibrant…fantastic boutique hotel in Tribeca.”  It was further described as being “home to a 24-hour fitness centre, restaurant and cocktail bar [featuring a] vintage and Art Nouveau style, with flashes of colour and touches of minimalist design, for something rather unique to the area.”

Located at 95 W Broadway, the Frederick also offers a 24-hour fitness room, Pret A Manger and Starbucks in the hotel, Serafina Tribeca (a top Italian restaurant) and its own cocktail bar.  Built in 1838 it is one of Tribeca’s “longest-running historic hotels” in the area.

For those booking a suite from now until March 31, 2018, they will receive a $50 American Express Card.

For St. Patrick’s Day that is!!!!  In New York City Ireland makes a visit tomorrow.    Start off with a lesson in history at the Irish Mob of Hell’s Kitchen: From the Gophers to the Westies, whereby you can explore the organized crime history of the city and see where infamous Irish gang members held “office” back in the day.

Later on, you might want to join for the NYC Irish Pub Crawl and enjoy some Celtic dance performances. On this crawl you’ll be able to enjoy the classic Irish An Béal Bocht (which – translated from Gaelic means ‘pour mouth’).  As well as your Beer, to satisfy your hunger order the classic Irish breakfast.  Because then you can justify beer drinking any time of the day!

For a traditional, classic and historical twist, part of the crawl you’ll enjoy is the McSorley’s Old Ale House.  Established in 1854, it is New York City’s oldest tavern and is still today incredibly authentic featuring sawdust-wooden floors, eight-ounce mugs and sharp cheddar and zippy raw onion grub.

And if you want to keep it sober there is always the Sober St. Patrick’s Day event at which you’ll be able to enjoy Irish step dancers, classic food and non-alcoholic beverages.  Featuring John Whelan Band, fiddler Dylan Foley and Irish dancing acts, this is about as traditional as you can get for your green-filled-fun day!

Because it’s time to start training for New York’s 48th marathon. Yes, it is not until November 4, 2018, but the applications opened just a few weeks ago and will stay open for another couple of weeks now, until February 15. So start running.  And get those applications going!

Senior VP of Marketing and Digital for New York Road Runners Ronnie Tucker said:

“We’re excited to welcome runners of all abilities and backgrounds to apply for a chance to participate in the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon.  While there are multiple avenues for runners from all over the world to find their way to t the TCS New York City Marathon starting line-from entering the free drawing to receiving guaranteed entry through NYRR’s popular 9+1 program to running with one of NYRR’s official charity partners-the TCS New York City Marathon is a moving and transformative experience for all participants, from the time they apply to the moment they cross that finish line.”

For those who do not know, the marathon raises money for free youth running programs for kids who would otherwise have little access to the sport. There are 267,000 youth served nationally through NYRR’s free youth running programs and events, including 134,000 in New York City’s five boroughs.
