"An haute hideaway on Manhattan's Upper East Side since 1927, the venerable Mark reopened last fall with a radical new look, trading in its erstwhile French pedigree for Parisian pop."

"Luckily, you don't need a dowry to taste the high life; a reservation at the Inn at Irving Place works just fine. It is the age of elegance here, where a dainty dozen accommodations await guests."
