Prince A. Sanders Shares His New York Hospitality Guide

Prince A. Sanders, General Manager of The Wall Street Hotel and part-owner of Brooklyn's Myrtle Ave. Bagels, offers an insider's guide to New York through his extensive hospitality career. With over two decades in the industry, Sanders has worked at W Hotels, The Ritz-Carlton, EDITION Hotels, and Park Lane. His current role places him in Lower Manhattan as the neighborhood evolves beyond office towers, featuring restaurants, galleries, and design. Sanders emphasizes walking as his primary source of inspiration, noting downtown's winding streets and cobblestones. He recommends the Whitney Museum for art, citing his role as a founding supporter, and Lincoln Center for performing arts, reflecting his background as a professional ballet dancer. His favorite neighborhood is the Financial District (FiDi) for its contradictions, and his best-kept secret is Old Mates, an Australian bar. For meals, he frequents Harry's and Adrienne's, with a personal order of truffled mushroom cavatelli from Harry's Side Bar. His ideal 24 hours include coffee from Black Fox, a walk to Battery Park, a visit to Printemps department store, the Whitney, cocktails at Overstory, dinner, and live vinyl DJ sets at Lounge on Pearl. The Wall Street Hotel, housed in the Beaux-Arts Tontine building, features art from the APY Art Centre Collective and welcomes dogs. Sanders' guide reflects a blend of old and new, capturing the essence of Lower Manhattan's cultural renaissance.
