Washington DC and Philadelphia are the perfect historical accompaniment to a holiday in New York City, long seen as the continent’s cultural capital. There are several fine museums and art galleries in all three cities – we highly recommend the Frick Collection in New York, Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia and The Phillips Collection in Washington as excellent private collections – please ask the Kirker Concierge about booking tickets. The new Acela Express train links the major cities of the East Coast: from New York to Philadelphia in one hour, and Philadelphia to Washington in two.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) is one of the most important modern art galleries in the world, with a collection which includes iconic works such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon. It reopens on 21 October 2019 after a major renovation project which will increase the exhibition space by more than 30%, allowing the gallery to display more of its vast collection of paintings, prints, drawings, photography and sculpture from the 1880s to the present day – as well as a new area for performance art. All Kirker clients visiting New York receive a complimentary ticket to the gallery which includes fast-track entrance.
The family of early colonists constructed the original house in 1787, just as Philadelphia was about to become the unified nation’s first capital.
This stylish boutique hotel opened in 2016 and is already a city favourite. Situated a short walk from the sights of 16th Street and bustling restaurants on 14th Street, the Viceroy, formerly known as the Mason & Rook Hotel, is well placed for exploring the city.
Conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, the Fifty NYC offers the service of a private club in a relaxing and stylish atmosphere. Its 210 rooms are generously proportioned, have large beds and a pillow menu to ensure a perfect night’s sleep.
