We Said...

Where we live on the edge in NYC




Lodging

The Maritime Hotel,
very expensive, (212) 242-4300, www.themaritimehotel.com. We first learned about this stylish spot on a website for the world's more unusual hotels. And unique it is, for it sports a natty nautical theme throughout (it was built back in 1966 as the National Maritime Museum). What makes it even more popular are its trendy onsite restaurants and proximity to the happening Meatpacking District.

Dining

Panino'teca 275,
inexpensive to moderate, (718) 237-2728, www.paninoteca275.com. Brooklyn's picturesque Carroll Gardens is the new home of chef-owner India Ennis's clever Italian-inspired cuisine. Take a seat outside and, surrounded by beautifully landscaped brownstones and some of the area's most handsome churches, savor everything from the signature panini to an after-dinner glass of grappa.
