The Restaurant at Hotel Giraffe by Library Hotel Collection

"Named after owner Henry Kallan's favorite animal (and because of its tall, slender design), the 75-room Hotel Giraffe is an Art Moderne that will appeal to fans of NoMad architecture, the trendy neighborhood restaurants, and fans of "Sex and the City: The Movie" (in which the hotel was prominently featured)"

"A restaurant two doors down from the hotel offers superb cuisine and potent cocktails with a lounge scene"

" Located at street level and open 24 hours a day, the Grand Lobby is a warm and inviting space, and just below it is Bread & Tulips, the house restaurant"

"Madison Square Park and the Empire State Building, along with the city’s buzziest new restaurants and bars, are within a few blocks, and if you want to get some work done without too many hipsters in the lobby, it does just fine"

"Guests enjoy room service from Bread & Tulips during restaurant hours"

"Madison Square Park, whose seven acres of green space is interspersed with art installations, is a block from the hotel, while Mario Batali’s Eataly, a gourmet food hall stuffed with restaurants, cafes, and stalls selling everything from fresh bread to Italian cheeses (perfect ingredients for a picnic in the park), is on the park's opposite side"
