Concierge Tip of the Month
For Valentine’s Day, Gary Bellomy, major-domo at Hotel St. Germain, suggests an open landau carriage ride (try the West End), followed by shopping for a full-length mink coat at Stanley Korshak and dancing to the sultry sounds of David Cartr Jr.’s jazz saxophone in the moonlit courtyard of the St. Germaine, where you can sip Nicolas Feuillat champagne and share a dessert of sliced strawberries and raspberries in a Waterford compote.
