Private Air New York

From its perch directly across Fifth Avenue and Central Park, e Pierre offers impeccable views of some of New York's most iconic vignettes. Its location on Park Avenue at East 61st Street puts guests of the hotel just above New York's "Millionaire Row" and steps away from one of the world's most revered shopping streets. Inside the hotel, glamour is never more than a glance away with every turn revealing a facet of indulgence. White-gloved operators stand waiting at elevator doors, ready to whisk guests to their desired floors while art deco chandeliers send prisms dancing across polished marble floors and waiters glide through dining rooms bearing trays of cocktails and savory bites. Despite such elegance-steeped tradition, e Pierre has risen gracefully to meet the challenges posed by the demand for modern indulgence. A seat at the Chef 's Supper Club, created by Pierre Executive Chef Ahsfer Biju and Executive Pastry Chef Mignano is a trending favorite among both native and visiting New Yorkers searching for their next, best culinary experience. Held just once a month, the Chef 's Supper Club is an opportunity to share in one of Biju and Mignano's inspired jaunts through culinary wanderlust. "In an intimate setting like the Supper Club, Chef Biju and I can create the kind of meals that inspire and excite us," explains Mignano. "We have the opportunity to introduce special, seasonal ingredients that aren't available in large quantities, to create elaborate menus and to pair them with wines that showcase the dishes and elevate the experience." Having honed his sweet skills at Charlie Parker's Aureole, as well within the hallowed halls of Balthazar, that Greenwich Village temple to all things French epicurean, Mignano is a culinary force to be reckoned with. When combined with the international experience of Biju, this is a supper club destined to be one of the most sought after tables in New York. Whether experienced for a weekend in one of the hotel's grand suites, a night in one of their gracious rooms, a meal in one of the ballrooms or restaurants, high tea or evening cocktails in the lounge, or a lifetime in a private residence rich with opulence, e Pierre is an experience like no other. Well done, Monsieur Casalasco. e legend – your legend - lives on and on. WEEKEND Clockwise from left: Stunning murals create a European garden that's always in bloom. Five star dining at Sirio's.
