A stay at The William Vale Hotel in Brooklyn and dinner at Westlight NYC rooftop bar

Описание: The William Vale has made multiple best hotels lists, including Fodor's Travel's Best Hotels in the USA & Canada https://www.fodors.com/worlds-best/ho...

Here's the description I wrote for that list:
If you think all the best NYC hotels are located in Manhattan, you obviously haven’t been to The William Vale in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This 22-floor luxury hotel has enough amenities to make it feel like a resort. But it’s also conveniently located within walking distance of the subway and the scenic NYC Ferry.

Inside the rooms, you’ll find luxury hotel amenities like an espresso machine (in this case, Lavazza) and a JBL Bluetooth speaker with a mirror in all suites. However, the fact that each of the 183 rooms has a balcony really sets this hotel apart from other NYC hotels. As The William Vale is situated between two large parks, you’ll either be looking at riverfront greenspace, the Manhattan and Long Island City skylines, or both. But the best views can be found at Westlight, which is the rooftop restaurant and bar.

Back to the amenities, guests have complimentary use of hotel bikes and the 80-degree fourth-floor pool. For an extra charge, you can head to the other side of the outdoor space to the individual hot tubs and sauna/steam room barrels. Whatever you do, don’t leave the hotel without trying Andrew Carmellini’s first-floor Italian restaurant, Leuca. The herbs are grown above the restaurant, and the red sauce is easily on par with Bamonte’s, Michael’s, and other multigenerational Brooklyn institutions.

In this video, I try the following Leuca dishes and drinks:
🥂Faux Daisy
🍕 Classic
🍝 Black Tonnarelli
🐟 Grilled Branzino
