A Visitors Guide to New York City

SUNDERLAND

A Personal Message From The Manager

New York is not so much a city as it is a way of life. And like life itself, the best way to experience it is to live it. We at The Sunderland want you to have the best possible time during your visit to New York, and to make sure that you have everything you need to make your stay an experience to remember, we have included a few useful items in your "newcomer's kit".

Firstly, you will find a map of Manhattan, showing all the streets from the downtown Wall Street area all the way to 110th Street. Your map also shows the various subway systems that criss-cross the island, together with a street index so you can easily find your way around.

Secondly, this brochure includes a description of the most interesting and colorful New York neighborhoods ("Getting Around The Big Apple"), so you can "visit" them without leaving your hotel room. Of course, there is no substitute for being there in person, and your brochure will help you get the most out of that, should you desire to step out for an "adventure".

Finally, to help you find the right cross street as you make your way around Manhattan, we have included our patented little X-Street Indexer (U.S.Pat.#NL-4563.18). To use the X-Street Indexer, align the avenue name on the inner wheel with the street address on the outer wheel. When you have aligned the two, simply look in the little window in the inner wheel to find the nearest cross street. For example, suppose you need to find 581 7th Avenue. Just align the 7th Ave on the inner wheel with 500-599 on the outer wheel. The little window in the inner wheel will show you the nearest cross street. Now, what could be simpler?

On behalf of the staff here at the Sunderland Hotel, we would like to wish you a pleasant stay in New York City. Please feel free to approach any of us for anything you may need to make your visit as care free as possible. New York means different things to different people, and we suggest you venture forth and experience it to the fullest. Who knows - you may even discover your true self.

Hilton Rosenberg,
Manager

SUNDERLAND

Impressively different in character, the distinguished Sunderland Hotel has a personality that sets it apart from other hotels on the New York scene. Quietly and modestly set in mid-town Manhattan, its charming friendliness has prompted many a passer-by to pause and admire its inviting atmosphere. Yet The Sunderland is but moments away from New York's bustling shopping and theater districts, providing guests with the best of all possible worlds to make their stay an experience to remember.

Upon entering The Sunderland, one instantly senses the gracious friendliness expressed in the warmth of rich decorator colors, luxurious carpeting, soft lights dancing from crystal chandeliers and lavish displays of freshly cut flowers. Even the mirrors tell a revealing story as they happily reflect the smile of welcome extended to every guest.

The Sunderland is a strikingly handsome building, towering some twenty stories above Manhattan and occupying almost an entire city block. Yet in character it retains a personal note found only in smaller hotels. After the first impression, the next will surely be one of unusual comfort, which is greatly apparent in the air-conditioned guest rooms as well as in the attractive restaurants and cocktail lounges. The Sunderland is indeed a hotel of many faces, all of which spell comfort, convenience and luxury to our pampered guests.

Exquisitely decorated with an inspiring mural by Maxfield Parrish, The Sunderland's All-Faith Chapel has been witness to many a famous wedding, including two of Barbara Hutton's. The,All-Faith Chapel, which can be found on the hotel's second floor, was purposely created to inspire faith across all denominations. It is available to guests for formal functions (under the guidance of a rabbi, a priest or a Unitarian minister), or whenever the spirit moves one to seek a helping hand amid the turmoil.

The All-Faith Chapel is available during normal business hours, and by appointment at other times. While The Sunderland makes the Chapel available to its guests free of charge for unattended use, it charges a small fee for providing a rabbi, priest or minister to preside over the gathering. The fee, which accumulates in 15-minute increments, can be charged to the guest's room simply by presenting the room key at the end of the function.

Dining in The Sunderland's delightful Rathskeller restaurant is a pleasure to the eye and palate. Inspired by an interior designer's love for gold, ivory and blue, this is truly a world of majestic drama. Here the atmosphere is serenely relaxing, and the air perfectly conditioned. Glancing around, the eye quickly perceives a magnificent painting on one wall, purposely created abroad to pay tribute to this exquisite setting.

As one would expect, each culinary achievement is directed by a dedicated master chef to guarantee that every dish is authentically continental. Here one can sample such famous German fare as sausage, sauerkraut and schnitzel, knowing that no better can be found outside of the Continent. Truly, this is New York dining at its best

Our pampered guests can enjoy the best the Rathskeller has to offer in the comfort and convenience of their own room. In addition to our gourmet selection, the following Autobahn Express specials are available from Room Service 24 hours a day. We invite you to choose from the following collection of mouth-watering delights:

Perched atop The Sunderland's twentieth floor, the Health Club provides guests with the amenities for keeping physically fit and healthy. Staffed with friendly masseurs and attendants, the Club boasts the most up to date equipment, from saunas to barbells. In addition, the club features a compact swimming pool for use by guests during business hours. The Health Club was renovated as recently as 1968 with the addition of a new weightlifting room.

Guests are invited to sample the Health Club's amenities during regular business hours and on weekends. Guests may choose from a wide range of activities, including sauna, massage, weightlifting, swimming, or just plain sunbathing by the pool. The Health Club truly makes the Sunderland Hotel a home away from home for active guests, who can charge massage and locker fees to their rooms.

New York is more than just a city. It is a vast panorama of humanity: pulsating, dynamic and everchanging. It is also a visitor's paradise, with more theaters, restaurants, museums, shops and sightseeing attractions than one can possibly experience in a lifetime. To make sure that you experience the best that New York has to offer, The Sunderland provides the following Guide to New York City, a brief tour of the City's highlights for your convenience and enjoyment.

There are other great cities, to be sure: London, Paris, Tokyo. But each of them is the nexus of a culture, while New York is a synthesis of many cultures, making it not so much a 'melting pot' as a collage of diverse elements juxtaposed into a cacaphonous but vital whole.
