WORLD's Best Hotel
Of all the places I've stayed on this trip -- nay, on ANY trip -- there is one B&B that stands squarely above the rest. And I had the privilege of staying there on the very last night of my trip. My award -- the Golden All-Terrain Sandal, if you will -- for World's Best Hotel is proudly presented to the Mandelbaum Family B&B of Brooklyn, NY.
It's an exclusive little spot, quite far from the tourist center, but rich with amenities and hospitality. When my plane landed too late to allow me to return to Jersey, they allowed me to stay on a moment's notice. They even offered airport pick-up. Upon arrival, my mother and I were shown to a beautifully decorated room, with soft beds and fluffy pillows. They provided us with toiletries and carefully-chosen sleep clothes. They even gave us fascinating books to read as we fell asleep.
In the morning, they provided us with toothbrushes, hairbrushes and a hairdryer. Work-appropriate clothing in the correct sizes. Hot showers with truly impressive water pressure. And breakfast.
The food is fantastic, the conversation inspired. They're close to New York's most important landmarks -- my grandfather's apartment, my cousins' homes and the place where I grew up. They even have cute children and grandchildren that will come over to play with you. It's a loving home, and my very favorite place to visit.
But the best part of all: My beloved aunt and uncle. Thank you so much for all the nights at the Mandelbaum B&B -- and everything else. I love you.
