The Spanish Tapas Bar and Restaurant Solera is located in Manhattan, East Midtown at
216 E 53rd Street (between 2nd Ave & 3rd Ave), tel.: 212-644-1166.
Solera is the perfect place for a pitcher of sangria and wonderful tapas. Food was awesome – too many choices and all that were had were very good. We had 7 different dishes: both cold and hot. They have really good olives!
The atmosphere is friendly, as is the service, and you can enjoy a meal without loud music.
Prices are not too overly crazy.

I love this hotel. It’s luxurious with nice views of Central Park, restaurant and bar downstairs. This hotel’s location is also perfect; its located at 160 Central Park South, New York, NY, Tel: (212) 247-0300, which is between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue right on Central Park South, close to Columbus Circle and Broadway.
Jumeirah Essex House first opened its doors in 1931 and recently this Manhattan landmark had completed refurbishment program that pays homage to its classic Art Deco heritage.
The lobby was all marble and looked very elegant. Staying here makes you feel very important. This hotel is not cheap. The rooms are simple but very comfortable, with huge televisions, they have really great beds. There is a well stocked minibar, only be aware; if you take something out, you will be charged for it. We had after dinner a ‘doggy bag’ and we decided to put it in the minibar to keep it cool, so we had to call the front desk to explain it.
