The Broadview Hotel —

The 130–year–old red–brick Victorian’s many lives – including bicycle club and flophouse – have made the Broadview an East End institution. Reborn as a 58–room boutique hotel, it boasts a seventh–floor bar whose massive skylight and all–glass walls offer some of the best new views of the city. Old–school details, like the turn–of–the–last–century steaks, chops and whole–bird menu at Civic, and reproductions of the original wallpaper uncovered during construction, ensure the past stays present, too.
