Fun on Fifth Avenue

When spending time in New York, one should make the most of it and branch out to as many activities as possible.

May weather is often really good in New York – perfect for long walks and enjoying nature.  Central Park is wonderful this time of year and the Heart of the Park Tour – Central Park is wonderful.  For some musical delights, check out the Pre-College Symphony which is actually today.

These events are free and provide tourists (and residents alike actually) with a great avenue to enjoy New York city!

New Eatery on Fifth Avenue

For those spending time in the New York area, there is soon to be something new arriving in town.  Mark Geragos recently paid $8m for a 12, 960 sq.ft building. Close to 120 years old and located at 256 Fifth Avenue – between 28th and 29th Streets – a new restaurant will open on the ground floor following its renovation.  Geragos has hired Michael Santora to modernize and work on the building.

It’ll probably be quite the place (and the restaurant) given Geragos’ profile.  This Armenian-American criminal defense attorney has represented quite an array of interesting clients including: the late Michael Jackson; Winona Ryder, Scott Peterson and more. He was also involved in the Whitewater controversy. So he definitely has experience with the weird and wonderful and that’s perfect for New York’s Fifth Avenue.
