Bed and Breakfasts: A Good Guest Bet
AUGUST 10, 2010
New York City is filled with grand hotels and boutiques, but bed and breakfasts are a great way for visitors to sample neighborhood life.
Dozens of them dot the Big Apple, but a few B & Bs have made enough of an impression that their names top the lodging list for savvy travelers. Uptown at Margot Guest House, large, clean, comfortable rooms are one of many pleasant surprises. Harlem Flophouse—the name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the neighborhood’s storied past—is actually an artfully created B & B in a carefully-restored historic brownstone. Jack and Judy Kravitz of Jack & Judy’s rent their stellar studio apartments to guests who know a hidden gem when they see one. Mount Morris House is considered one of Harlem’s best for guests in a beautifully restored townhouse. Country Inn in the City is a great hotel alternative on the Upper West Side. Abingdon Guest House is a chic retreat hidden on a brownstone-lined West Village street.
In Brooklyn, Escape Guest House offers wine tasting and dance classes in addition to bed and breakfast for singles, couples and families in a Boerum Hill Hideaway. Baisley House opens the doors to a classic Carroll Gardens row house known for its eccentric proprietor and carefully curated decor. At Home In Brooklyn is a much-loved Park Slope home-away-from-home among visiting parents, friends and frequent travelers with an insider’s insight.
