Fostering the city vibe, there are also food vendors who will sell soft pretzels and coffee from carts to give shoppers the ultimate New York experience.

In addition, outside of the bar on the corner of “Fifth & 57th,” guests can get a sneak peek into the past by looking through a digital storefront created by Gene Moore, who for almost 40 years designed Tiffany & Co. windows. Other ultra-cool amenities a New York Minute screening room and a stunning Central Park scene.
