Alternatively, 70 Park Avenue Hotel is a boutique hotel offering a haven of quiet luxury – and is walking distance from Fifth Avenue. Where to party Get on the cocktails and drink in the spectacular skyline on the rooftop of Above 6. Situated high above the Columbus Circle, the stylish hangout comes into its own during the summer. Be sure to try the cool cava-based concoction, Hummingbird while listening to some up-beat tunes. Cellar Bar, which is located between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, delivers ﬂavoursome cocktails in funky Mediterraneanstyle surroundings. Have a boogie around your handbags on the fabulous separate dance ﬂoor. Don’t miss! Take a picnic in Prospect Park in Brooklyn – designed by the same people as Central Park, but with fewer tourists – it’s where the real New Yorkers go to chill out.

Carol says... ‘I love so many different destinations and don’t like going back to the same place but, if I had to pick, then California and the Italian lakes are just amazing.’
