Twenty-Four Hours

We all get them, and they move at the same speed for us. These hours in a day are what we make of them. When it comes to one of my favorite places to spend twenty-four hours in, my mind goes to Poland.

I have to say though, I simply do not know it to the extent of the place I spend almost every single day in, and that is Hudson Yards. So, it is only right that I write about the ‘perfect’ way to spend your day in Hudson Yards.

0-1

Let’s say you start by staying at Equinox Hotel – a place where wellness, recovery, fun, and excitement all come together. We will start with the morning… you wake up at 5am. If this is your normal wake-up time, great.. and if it happens to be after, I would still aim to wake up a little earlier than usual. Obviously though take care of your routine and this is not something that I can instruct.

1-2

So, you are up and about to spend 30-45 minutes in the hotel room waking yourself up for the day. The room provides plenty of amenities to start your day right. Then I recommend an early morning workout – whether it be with a coach or on your own, allow your body to feel good. 30-45 minutes, I am sure will suffice. Then you can go back up to the room to shower with amazing product and freshen up for the day. At this moment, I would say it is about 2 hours since you have been up.

2-3

Time to eat. Electric Lemon offers great breakfast, or you can have a bagel from Russ & Daughters / Kossar’s, enjoy it outside nearby the Vessel or even on the Highline.

3-6

Time to work and/or explore. I am a big fan of walking the Highline earlier in the day and getting energy from the city. You can find plenty of coffee shops close by .. Think Coffee, Daily Provisions, Intelligentsia, Sullivan Street Bakery being some of my favorites. Do work, catch up with a friend, read, or simply keep getting energy from the city doing its thing around you.

7-8

Now it is lunch time – let’s say you are keeping it in Hudson Yards.. this is where I would do a place in Manhattan West Plaza.. Ci Siamo and Zou Zou’s deliver spectacular food and Daily Provisions is such a laid-back welcoming and comfort spot with good food and coffee.

8-10

Now maybe it is time to recover. This is where in the hotel, a spa session can come into play. Potentially swimming if that makes more sense for you – there are many options. The room also provides many wellness snack and there are plenty of juice/smoothie spots around, as well to provide a boost of energy.

11-14

Now the evening is coming about. Maybe you go to an event at The Edge, or take a stroll along the West Side Highway, or anything in between. I recommend at least a part of it being a surprise where you take a surprise turn into a gallery, boutique store, and/or ice cream shop. Then have yourself a great dinner at Little Spain or one of the restaurants close-by.

15-16+

You are back in your room winding down for the night and going at your pace. The whole point of Equinox Hotels is to help you slow down and relax amongst such amazing and upbeat energy.

This is a great time to assess what spoke to you throughout the day, and what you can bring into your day-to-day because you do deserve it.
