42 WAC Magazine | wac.net Faced with all that Manhattan has to offer, visitors to the Big Apple oen find it difficult to score accom- modations that put them in the center of it all. WAC members need look no further than the New York Athletic Club's City House, a short walk from the lights of Times Square, shopping on Fih Avenue, and the treasures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If a stroll through iconic Central Park—imme- diately across the street from the City House—isn't enough to tire you out, check out the club's state-of-the-art treadmills, stationary bikes, and free weights. A dip in the aquatic center's pool might help soothe tired feet, while a visit to the center's steam room and spout room is sure to rejuvenate aer a day of exploring. A trio of dining options—an elegant cocktail lounge, a traditional tap room, and a formal dining room—is certain to please any palate. Be sure to head up to the 24th floor for a panoramic view of Central Park and Uptown Manhattan from the club's rooop deck. While there, you'll find it no surprise that this club is the No. 1 reciprocal destination for WAC members, who request- ed more than 200 letters of introduction in 2018. Get your bearings in Central Park. Look for the numerical codes on the base of each lamp post. e first two or three numbers tell you which street you're closest to. e last number tells you if you're on the east (even numbers) or west (odd numbers) side.
