GREETINGS from New York and The Mark hotel on 77th and Madison on the Upper East Side!
It's been a LONG day!
0500 - meet boys at Heathrow
1020 - leave Heathrow (2 hours late) after being frisked and checked 4 times!
1500 - arrive at hotel in NYC - weather stunning! - 7 degrees BUT sunny & just perfect!
Met up with dear old friend the Director of Sales & Marketing - Carrington Edmunds for tour of property. I have a history with this hotel. During the 90's and early 20's ... I virtually lived here. The GM was the legend Raymond Bickson and you could smoke cigars in the bar, drink until 6 a.m. and the hotel served up a mean pizza!
When Raymond left ... I defected to The Lowell (where Carrington is from) BUT then he is now here ... the ex-Lowell GM left also to open The Pierre ... and now I am back HERE as the property has had a full refurbishment! I am excited and happy to be here!
We have a great NYC show planned!
