Jumeirah Essex House

Wanted to follow up our post from a few weeks back about our stay in NY with some pictures from the hotel.

Here's a view facing downtown (from the first room when we checked in, which later got too smoky to stay in):

Another angle, again facing downtown:

Here's the view from the room we ended up in for the rest of our stay.  This faces towards the Time Warner Center:

A view facing the southwest corner of Central Park, with the traffic circle by the Time Warner Center lit up.  The building to the right is the Trump International Hotel.

 
A view in daylight, again facing the Time Warner Center.  The Mandarin Oriental is in the towers, and the Trump hotel is off to the right.

And here's a daylight view facing the Park (the trees were still quite bare in early March).

1,000 Places to See Before You Die

Read 1,000 Places to See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz.  I'm also including a link to 1,000 Places to See Before You Die in the United States and Canada.  

One example of the recommended excursions in this book is Nimmo Bay Resort, in British Columbia.  On pg. 752, Schultz describes Nommo Bay Resort, writing, "There are no roads leading to Nimmo Bay, an eighteen-guest wilderness resort that sits on the remote, undeveloped, and largely unsung western coast of Canada.  It is open May through October.
