As September approaches, there is much to see and do in New York city from Barney's warehouse sale and Fashion's night out, to the Italian Food Festival and West Indian day parade.  If you are heading to Central Park over the next few months, there will be breathtaking displays of foliage colour as the year drifts into Autumn or simply shop your heart out on 5th Avenue, which as we ladies know, is a great year round activity!

Bars with a view are a great way to unwind after a summers day in New York City. Try these for size. The Roof Garden at the Metropolitan Art Museum overlooking Central Park, R Lounge, Renaissance Hotel with views out over Times Square, Salon de Ning at the Peninsula Hotel with views down 5th Avenue, Beekman Beer Garden (seasonal and overlooking Brooklyn Bridge). Cheers!
