Algonquin Hotel: A few years after it opened in 1902 in the city’s Theater District, the 12-story Algonquin Hotel became a literary and artistic mecca. After the First World War, it was home to the Round Table, a gathering of artists and writers that included Dorothy Parker and New Yorker magazine founder Harold Ross. Orson Welles spent his honeymoon there. Today the hotel continues to draw artists and writers because of its legacy. In recent years, much attention has been showered on its famous resident cat, Matilda, who helps host an annual feline fashion show.
