Tempura Matsui has only been opened for two years, but in that short time has developed such an amazing reputation in the Manhattan food scene. Being named a Michelin starred restaurant two years in a row, the Murray Hill location is one of the few in Manhattan that specializes in Tempura cuisine. Special is the name of the game in this case, as myself and a friend dined there over the weekend, and truly blown away by quite possibly one of the best meals we have ever had. No joke.

The Bernic Hotel’s Beautiful Presence Livens Up Turtle Bay
Up until this past week, I had no idea there was a section of Manhattan called Turtle Bay. Seriously! Turtle Bay is technically on the east side of Midtown Manhattan. It extends from either 41st or 43rd Streets to 53rd Street, and eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River’s western branch, facing Roosevelt Island (Thanks Wiki!). With my knowledge intact, I was able to discover a gorgeous and brand new hotel on 47th between 3rd and 2nd that is a must for anyone this holiday season and beyond. This location is called The Bernic, and after my experience there this weekend it is definitely a place you are going to want to check into.
