Bemelmans at the Carlyle Hotel

Named after Ludwig Bemelmans (the illustrator famous for his Madeline picture books), this iconic haunt has his original work showcased on just about every wall and lampshade. Take in his whimsical scenes highlighting animals like rabbits and dogs in Central Park, while also enjoying a chic selection of champagne, light snacks, and jazz. It's a must-visit.
