Do event planners still hold a torch for the Big Apple?   by Brooke Jester

Despite the abundance of clichés thrust upon New York regarding large fruit, alleged insomnia and its status as the self-appointed capital of the world, it is impossible not to fall for a city that charms as much as this one.

I love it above all others. But it is a city so well-known, even those who have never visited it feel they possess an intimate knowledge of its most arcane alleyways. Movie-makers and television producers have seemingly shown us every surprise, making it harder for meeting planners to astonish an audience. Perhaps the challenge to unearth something new is New York’s greatest appeal?

So how do you approach a group wanting to experience New York from a new angle? As Maddie Czerwinski from Get U.S. Destination Event Management sees it: “The pockets of diversity found within the city are what makes visiting New York such a rich experience, regardless of how many times you have been. There are hidden districts within every borough. You can go from high fashion on Fifth Avenue to a neighbourhood as culturally diverse as Harlem in just a few blocks.”
When looking for specifics, the overwhelming response from the NY DMCs is that local knowledge is king, and few have better insider information than Kitt Garrett of Discover New York.

“Nothing beats local knowledge, so choose your DMC wisely to save time, effort and money,” Garrett says. “We’ve had planners choose a combination of a restaurant and a theatre based upon an internet map. They think that it’s a three-minute transfer. The fact is that due to traffic and the season, it could be at least half an hour away. Location, meeting space requirements, distance from off-site events, service, ambiance, the price-to-value relationship – the options all need to be balanced, and without knowing the local scene, you will struggle to make informed decisions. And for all New York’s many assets, it is anything but simple. Every destination needs service and venues to match the needs of the client, but in New York it is just that much more extreme.”

Karen Shackman of Shackman Associates shares this view, and it underpins the organisation’s move to provide programmes that allow guests to experience New York rather than merely observe it. “There are a number of different areas we know people look to incorporate into any event – namely shopping, theatre, dining, culture or sports,” she says. “So we have worked with our extensive local contacts in each of these areas to develop exclusive customised experiences which give guests the true ‘inside track,’ rather than the same mass-market options they would find on the internet or through a hotel concierge.
“Depending on the demographics of the group, we could highlight alternative takes on New York – from the trendy to the arty, from classic New York to the hidden gems we save for our proposals. Clients are even visiting the amazing multicultural areas of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, which, not so long ago, even the locals didn’t fully appreciate.
“And for those groups with more than a few days, they can get out of the city entirely to experience different aspects of New York State – be they artistic, culinary, military, historical or otherwise.”

As with any destination, choosing a hotel to match your delegates’ needs is vital, and, as with everything else in New York, the choice is huge. However, Garrett is keen to sound a note of caution. “Many meeting planners try to select a hotel over the internet, but have no idea of its service levels, the time it takes to move from place to place, or simply if it will suit their guests. Even if the DMC is not buying the hotel for you, in New York you really still need to involve them in the process.”

New York and hype go hand-in-hand and that is especially true when it comes to hotels. Take The London NYC, refurbished and re-branded on the site of the delightful Rihga Royal. This hotel has received extensive column inches from the travel and style magazines, based predominantly on its eponymous restaurant – the New York residence of Gordon Ramsey. But is it worth it? Does the money spent on PR translate into a hotel of genuine substance? “Oh yes, The London is fabulous,” says Ina Lee Selden of Manhattan Passport DMC. “We have booked it for lots of groups. Lately they have loosened up on the rules for the restaurant, making it possible to do breakfast without having to resort to private dining, which is a big plus, and of course the location could not be better for a Midtown event. Everything about The London feels five-star, but it has also been offering some good four-star prices.”

Another property to undergo a massive facelift and an injection of cash is the legendary Plaza on Central Park. In terms of history, location and a name to dazzle it’s hard to top, but since its re-invention so too are the room rates. Selden explains: “It is not easy to book a group at the Plaza. When it re-opened the rates were astronomical, and since there are no longer rooms on the park (that’s a privilege reserved for the residential apartments that share the building), even by New York standards it seems excessive. But its history and tradition are still intact, and the location is simply incredible.”

Just along from the Plaza is another fully refurbished property, The Essex House. Renovated from roof to cellar at the expense of the seemingly bottomless pockets of the Jumeirah Group, the hotel’s near-perfect location right on Central Park South is now complemented by an interior that can compare with the best in the world.

The Four Seasons, The Pierre, The Peninsula, The Carlyle, New York Palace and a brace of Ritz-Carltons, of course, remain at the top of the hotel roster, where even the most demanding of guests would feel their appetite for luxury and service sated. These have been joined by New York’s five-star international masterpiece, the Mandarin Oriental. Living up to every expectation demanded of one of the world’s leading marques, the Mandarin Oriental is perfect for both groups and individuals, while rates are reportedly competitive against its five-star rivals.

For those wanting to take a step down from the top-end rates of the leading luxury properties, the Omni Berkshire on East 52nd Street is an often-overlooked property that knows the meetings market as well as anyone, and rarely disappoints. Similarly, those wanting the boutique style should look at the likes of Starwood’s various W hotels, including The Times Square, and, in particular, The New York, where European delegates appreciate the comfort, location and, at weekends, the buzz in the lobby bar. This bar is ideal for conference groups as there are no cover charges, no minimum orders and no fear that an over-zealous doorman will mess with your reservations.

The perennial appeal of Manhattan is illustrated by the fact that a well-known UK-based consumer-goods brand is taking 60 top distributors to New York next month. It may be a sign of the times that the company is coy about celebrating its success and motivating its staff. The programme has been organised by Gerry York at UK-based Oxford Motivation who says that Rio and Dubai were also considered as destinations. “The former was ruled out because it was considered too far and perhaps a little risky; the latter was ruled out because it is regarded as a bit of a building site,” York says. “New York won because it remains this industry’s top draw – it has great shopping, great theatres, great food and the flight is not overly tiring.”

The exchange rate is an issue – York costed the event at $1.75 to the pound – as this went to press the pound was down to $1.43 with little sign that it had bottomed out. He says: “The client is aware of the reality of the situation and will absorb the extra cost. We are flying with Virgin who gave us a very competitive rate and the group is staying at the Sofitel near Fifth Avenue – a beautiful property in an ideal location.”

York believes that when times are tough, clients return to their trusted favourites and that in the current climate clients are looking for the ‘old stalwarts’ rather than venturing out to new destinations. He says: “New York has a very strong image which has been won over many years in the eyes of corporate planners, and in times of economic stress this investment starts to pay off, when they are looking for a ‘sure-fire’ destination that will excite potential incentive qualifiers. It is not a ‘risky’ destination with no track record. Clients also expect a deal when times are tough, so just quoting the going rate is no good. They need to feel that the agency has been able to broker a good deal, so offering reduced rates, complimentary upgrades and other ‘free’ facilities all helps to get the business confirmed.”

Event $3.89 In the summer of 1947, an unidentified object crashed in Roswell , New Mexico . There were no survivors. Now it’s happened again. But this time, two creatures have emerged from the wreckage alive . . . One is a small being that is kind and benevolent, brimming with intense emotion and intelligence. The other, however, is an animal of remarkable strength and power. It has been brought clandestinely to our world with one sole purpose: the total extinction of all life on Earth. It is called the Destroyer of Worlds. Only the Event Group, the most secret agency in the history of the U.S. government, is prepared to wage battle against such a creature. The Event Group is a dedicated collection of the nation’s most brilliant men and women of science, philosophy and the military. Their difficult task: solving the mysteries of the past and uncovering the hidden truths behind the myths and legends propagated throughout world history. In doing so they protect America from past mistakes—and ensure that history’s errors will never be repeated. An act of war that started in New Mexico decades ago, and was covered up by another far darker organization, has been discovered by the Group at the same time as the new and seemingly identical incident threatens to wipe out the Earth’s population. In the desert wastelands of the American Southwest, a battle is about to commence as the two creatures set out to fulfill their own destinies among the human race. Led by the valiant Major Jack Collins, the Event Group wages total war in the heat-soaked sands of the desert landscape. Using the benevolent creature as an ally and resource, they combine forces with the powerful might of the U.S. military and prepare themselves for an epic battle against the most dangerous threat against human existence that history has ever seen. Event tells of an epic struggle between two worlds. Author David Lynn Golemon has written a classic supernatural thriller, each page bringing human civilization closer to extinction, that proves a blistering roller-coaster ride of thrills and adventure.

Soon, other gruesome deaths of a similar nature have been discovered, and the Centers for Disease Control sends a forensic pathologist to investigate. What she finds precipitates a federal crisis.

The Cobra Event is a dramatic, heart-stopping account of a very real threat, told with the skill and authority that made Preston’s The Hot Zone an internationally acclaimed bestseller. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Long-awaited in translation, Being and Event" makes available to an English-speaking readership Badiou’s groundbreaking work on set theory – the cornerstone of his whole philosophy. This book makes the scope and aim of Badiou’s whole philosophical project clear, enabling full comprehension of Badiou’s significance for contemporary philosophy. In Being and Event, Badiou anchors this project by recasting the European philosophical tradition from Plato onwards, via a series of analyses of such key figures as Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hegel, Rousseau, and Lacan. He thus develops the basis for a history of philosophy rivalling those of Heidegger and Deleuze in its depth.This wide-ranging book is organised in a precise and novel manner, reflecting the philosophical rigour of Badiou’s thought. Unlike many contemporary Continental philosophers, Badiou – who is also a novelist and dramatist – writes lucidly and cogently, making his work accessible and engaging. This English language edition includes a new preface, written especially for this translation. Being and Event" is essential reading for Badiou’s considerable following and anyone interested in contemporary Continental philosophy.

Event Field $24.12 A young state of Israel reborn in war hosts many a secret…among them the events surrounding one intellectual family unwittingly muddied in operations of the country’s own security service. Zmam relays the intensity of Israeli existence through a dense and relentless mystery thriller overtoned with expressions of contemporary history and culture. It was the author’s intent as witness to fact during the nineties to convey by means fiction a moody brew of the real and contrived, especially those realms where the two happen to be same. The Draft portrays disparate experiences of two nationals and a Canadian tourist, adventurous girls facing adulthood with humour and courage in a modern militarized Israeli society, comprising book 2 of the series and following in the Zmam drama. It is a delving psychological probe into the question of identity and perspective and the ability to transcend beyond our long-held concepts of such. In the breathtaking stillness of Canada’s west a multinational array of armed forces converge undercover on intelligence maneuvers. Counterpoint constitutes book 3 of the "Event Field" trilogy following Zmam and The Draft. A witty dialogue amongst diverse characters marks their spiritual progression as opposing elements square off in final confrontation.

The Rapture Event $22.99 “This book uses various Truths of Scripture to reveal the verifications of the end of physical life for all living persons. Some have misconstrued unintentionally the Truths pertaining to the Rapture Event. Some maintain their stand that a generation will not die. Their continued misunderstanding causes them to believe that some peoples of a particular generation are to escape death. They will stress that there are persons who will circumvent the explicit Truths of God revealed in Scripture, such as Hebrews 9: 27 KJV. This verse, and many others, plainly state that ALL persons die once. For a person with a mind willing to learn, they will through their faith provided to them by God, realize that not one person will ever escape death. Jesus The Christ did not escape death. Neither will Enoch and Elijah eventually. Contained herein is irrefutable proof that people do die in the fullness of time. J.Steve a crusader for Truths contained within Scripture. He professes that The Holy Spirit chose him to tie together, and to expound Truths of The Rapture Theory. The understandings of Truths are revealed in fullness of time for prophecies. He contends that persons of authority, who have acceptance by the masses, are in error in their interpretation of some end-time events. J.Steve is convinced that a person, no matter how strong their faith, or intelligent their deductive reasoning, should never alter Scriptures to be contrary to Truth. Jehovah stated that it is inevitable for people to die one time. That Truth must be understood not ignored. People should never attempt to change facts in Scripture to suit their desires. J.Steve further claims that he is willing to stand at the Judgment Seat ofChrist, to answer for this explanation of Truths found in the Scriptures, used to compile this manuscript.”

The Novel as Event $39.92 ""The Novel as Event" brilliantly does two things: presents a strikingly new theory of the way novels have effect in the social world, and also presents original readings of five major Victorian novels as demonstrations of the way that theory may be exemplified in practice. No other book that I know of does either of these two things in at all the same way." —J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine "I have no doubt that this book will become an important part of a renewed questioning of a certain unchallenged historicism prevalent in Victorian novel studies from the beginning." —Kevin McLaughlin, Brown University "The Novel as Event" is a timely reconsideration of the historical role of the Victorian novel from the perspective of its performativity. In a highly original application of the work of Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, Pierre Bourdieu, Judith Butler, and other readers of J. L. Austin, Mario Ortiz Robles argues that the language of the novel is paramount and that the current emphasis on the representational and physical aspects of the novel tends to obscure this fact. He provides brilliant original readings of five major Victorian novels: Dickens’s "Our Mutual Friend," Bronte’s "Jane Eyre," George Eliot’s "Middlemarch," Thackeray’s "Vanity Fair," and Collins’s "The Woman in White," illustrating that it is impossible to fully grasp the cultural power of the novel, from its role in the cultivation of manners and the conduct of courtship to the consolidation of bourgeois ideology and the construction of the subject, without an adequate account of the performativity of its language. By considering the novel as a linguistic event, Ortiz Robles offers a new explanatory model for understanding how novels intervene materially in the reality they describe, and, in doing so, he seeks to reinvigorate critical debate on the historicity of the realist novel and current methods of cultural criticism. "The Novel as Event" serves as a well-timed corrective to the narrow historicist approach to the materiality of the novel that currently holds sway. Mario Ortiz Robles is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Cover art: "Untitled page from Constance Sackville West Album."

A Blessed Event $3.95 How much is too much to ask of friendship? How long will the bonds of family endure when confronted with swift, unexpected change? These are the intimate questions Jean Reynolds Page poses in "A Blessed Event," her assured and powerful literary debut. Joanne Timbro and Darla Stevens have grown up in a small Texas town, their childhood homes separated only by adjoining back yards. Although the families inside these houses have little in common, the two girls find in each other a rare friendship that will take them into their adult lives; a friendship that makes them stronger together than either could be alone. Then as young women, Darla and Jo enter into an agreement that will startle everyone who cares for them. After years of watching Darla’s heartbreaking failure to have a baby with her husband, Cal, Joanne agrees to give birth to the child that Darla cannot have on her own. But in the early morning hours of a warm July morning, everything changes. Joanne, then four months pregnant, is driving a car that veers off the road near the home that Darla shares with Cal. In the days and months that follow, Darla must face for the first time in her memory, the possibility of life without Jo. As Darla tries to uncover the secrets that brought her friend out onto the highway in those dark morning hours, she discovers that she must also fight to keep the baby that was intended to be her child. With the child’s fate hanging in the balance, Darla searches for clues to Jo’s strange behavior leading up to the crash. In the process, she discovers truths that hide in her own life: in her marriage, in her closest friendships, and in a past that has suddenly reemerged, full of unfolding secrets. Tender and heartbreaking, hopeful and honest, "A Blessed Event" brings life’s everyday experiences into bright focus, contrasting beautifully the pain of suffering with the sublime joys of surviving–and truly living.

Meanwhile, for Tennessean Ronnie Lee Reed, New York City is the place where any girl–even one who runs with a Pack–can redefine herself. First order of business: find a mate, settle down, and stop using men for sex. Even big, gorgeous, lion shifter men like Brendon Shaw. But she needn’t worry, because now that Brendon’s set his sights on her, the predator in him is ready to pounce and never let go. . .
