   From its website:
   
   We are at the corner of 80th Street and Riverside Drive in Manhattan, near Lincoln Center, just minutes from midtown. Only steps from Central Park, and the Museum of Natural History. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, great Broadway shopping and fine New York dining, are all nearby.
   
   Our New York City hotel is surrounded by townhouse apartments of stars of film, theatre, TV, music, ballet and sports. This area and the area around Waldorf are tied for first place in being the safest in Manhattan.
   
   Each room has a small kitchenette and there are over 30 restaurants within an 8 block radius. Cabs are nearby at all hours, 3 bus lines are nearby and there is a subway stop 3 blocks away.
