The Lyric staff is amazing, thoughtful, kind and helpful. It was our 10 year anniversary and the host had a very nice card and a bottle of wine waiting for us!! The staff at check- in were AMAZING, so kind, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The gave us great geography tips.The location is central, quick walk to pubs, bars, World Trade Center, Stock Exchange, the subway. The store/ market had everything you would need for your stay but go downstairs as The prices are way lower down there. There's also a Walgreens up the street. A wine and Spirits in the other direction, a quaint little coffee shop on the 1st floor of building... The room was spotless, modern and very sexy with the dimmed lighting. The smell was very welcoming. It's away from the hustle n bustle but that is also a hop n a scotch away. Housekeeping kept everything clean and fresh while we explored the city. We will definitely be back!!
