From Apple to Taxi, greenest city:) New Taxicabs are Green, Literally
The color of the city’s new taxi for boroughs outside Manhattan was unveiled Sunday by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, and in the mayor’s eyes the hue was an “apple green.”
“We think ‘apple green’ is attractive and distinctive,” he said at a news conference at City Hall. “It’s easy on the eyes and easy to pick out from a distance in traffic.”

The NoMad Hotel. Frenc Style in NYC center.
NoMad Hotel the Andrew Zobler’s newest lifestyle hotel. Zobler, who is also responsible for the Ace Hotel across the street, was initially drawn to the distinct architecture along that section of Broadway.
Using the Beaux-Arts style facade of the newly opened NoMad Hotel as inspiration for the interior, Zobler tapped French architect Jacques Garcia to complete his vision.
The luxury component of the NoMad is the simplicity in the sophistication with a feeling of eternity.
Grilled cheese may be the simplest of sandwiches, but few foods can bring you back to childhood quite like hot cheese between layers of buttery toast on a blustery day. With this concept in mind, twenty-something Spencer Rubin opened Melt Shop last summer, a restaurant that specializes in the gooey goodness of grilled cheese. Now that it’s the middle of winter, Melt Shop is the perfect place to go for a comforting lunch and warm memories in midtown Manhattan.
Should you find yourself in midtown, we highly recommend heading to Melt Shop’s Lexington Avenue location for a Buttermilk-Fried Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich (8.95) or a decadent Fontina & Goat Cheese Sandwich with wild mushrooms and parsley pesto ($7.50). Be sure to try some shop tots on the side. And for those who don’t feel like braving the winter elements, this place delivers in the literal and figurative sense.

Nolitan Hotel a new cool in the city.
The Nolitan on Kenmare and Elizabeth is one of the coolest hotel in the NYC scenes. Only 55 rooms and amazing views Nolitan is cozy and intimate.
The rooftop is a welcome addition to the already burgeoning bars-with-altitude scene, offering 2,400-square-feet of space overlooking Manhattan and Brooklyn.”Locals” are welcome:))
Also, one big diference between the rest: Nolitan offers a standard 2 p.m. checkout. Great for anyone who wants to sleep in after a night on the town. Follow the relax trend!
