It's the rare New Yorker who won't admit to a heartfelt pang for the city's unofficial cryptographic motto. For designers, the love is often born from the Big Apple's nearly overwhelming wealth of cultural riches. So we rounded up 20 of the industry's finest and asked what inspiring locations make them feel great about design: a building, restaurant, hotel, park, plaza, art work - anything. Of course, more than a few couldn't limit their choices to just one so our list spans 25 hot spots. But that's to be expected from this City of Dreams. It's yet another reason to say loud and proud: I heart New York.
