A NEW YORK GUYS GETAWAY
Who says girls get to have all the fun? Sometimes men need a little getaway for themselves, too — whether it’s for a bachelor party, father-son bonding, or just some guy time. The best place to host a guys trip? The Shops at Columbus Circle, which has all the components for the perfect getaway under one roof. Here are seven things to put on your weekend itinerary.
Stay and Play
You’ll want a five-star hotel with great views for the ultimate guys getaway, and the Mandarin Oriental, New York delivers — while keeping your crew in the center of all the action.
Get Well-Groomed
Coming soon to The Shops at Columbus Circle, Long & Short Barber Co is the better barber for the modern man. It specializes in short and long cuts alike, hot towel shaves, beard styling, and a good old-fashioned shoe shine that is hard to find in the city these days. Perfect prep for a night out on the town with the boys.
High-End Shopping
When it comes to menswear, getting your style right is no simple matter. Fortunately, there’s plenty of amazing shopping right at The Shops at Columbus Circle, including BOSS (with made-to-measure suits), Ted Baker London (with luxurious fabrics and geometric prints), Robert Graham (which combines fine style with old-school attributes), and J.Crew Mens Shop (for the perfect weekend looks).
Sweat it Out
Release those endorphins with a group fitness class at Equinox. The luxe gym offers experiences for all fitness levels, created and developed by the industry’s best minds. From active regeneration to athletic training to boxing to cycling, your crew will be feeling the burn and loving the results.
Join a Running Club
One of the best ways to see New York City is on foot. Why not join a running group to take in even more of the Big Apple? At The Shops at Columbus Circle, you’ll find a slew of programs hosted by athletic stores such as lululemon and New York Running Company by Jack Rabbit, both of which offer group runs to stretch those legs and view the city sights.
Big Bites
The sky’s the limit when it comes to dining. Go all out at Michelin-starred restaurants like Per Se and Masa. Explore the globe with the Asian-inspired Momofuku Noodle Bar. Or opt for the ultimate carnivore’s meal at Porter House Bar and Grill, a classic New York City chophouse in an iconic location. True to the name, Chef Michael Lomonaco knows his way around a steak.
Cocktail Time
Ascent Lounge New York features sweeping views of Central Park and Columbus Circle, as well as an impressive list of drinks. The Smoked Old Fashioned is a real showstopper. Designed to impress even the toughest cocktail critics, it arrives covered in a glass dome containing smoke that is released when served, infusing the drink with smoky goodness and putting the finishing touch on a great guys getaway.
