EDGE Providence

Treat your Valentine to a once-in-a-lifetime Cupid’s Day feast at South Gate, the Jumeirah Essex House’s award-winning restaurant facing onto Central Park - and featuring "bespoke" desserts, such as "Birkin Bavarois" or an edible postcard.

If you, like us, succumb to films in which New York is rendered with an ongoing twilight glow, then you’re exactly the sort of romantic unable to resist the charms of Manhattan’s Art Deco masterpiece, the Jumeirah Essex House.
