While I was in Paris in April, my friend Andrew and I were invited by Ralph Lauren Home to dine at Ralph’s at the Ralph Lauren store in Saint Germain. We were lucky to enjoy lunch at the restaurant before they closed for a month for refreshing. They have just reopened and enjoying a meal […]

Guess who’s back? Thank you for being so understanding of my pause in posts. In the 15 years of blogging, I’ve never taken such a long break but I was still posting almost 100 Instagram Stories each day of my month in Paris so I didn’t take a complete break and I hope that you […]

Happy Valentine’s Day and President’s Day weekend! I know a lot of people will be leaving the city this weekend but there are a lot of things happening for those who have decided to stay or those who will be visiting. I’m not really that into orchids but Jeff Leatham, famed artistic director of the […]

Le Chardenoux

03 . 04 . 19

I don’t think I’ve ever been to the 11th arrondissement in Paris but after seeing photos of Le Chardenoux, I wonder why. The restaurant owned by chef Cyril Lignac has reopened after a renovation by Martin Brudnizski designed with charm and heritage in mind giving the traditional interiors a modern twist. The decorative foliated ceiling and marble […]

Today was one of the best and busiest days I’ve ever had in New York. It started off with meeting my LA friend Louise Roe at the Ralph Lauren ladies mansion to experience Ralph’s Café and the Spring 2019 collection. You may remember that Ralph’s Coffee is now open at the store but they turned […]

Chic in NYC: Manhatta

09 . 20 . 18

When my lovely friend Andrea Stanford comes to town, we always go somewhere new. Last night it was the recently opened hotspot Manhatta. The newest edition to the Danny Meyer restaurant empire is terribly chic but the view of all of lower Manhattan is what really steals the show. Manhatta is located on the 60th floor […]

Hotel Lutetia in Paris

08 . 20 . 18

When I lived in Paris, I lived on rue Babylone on the top floor of a beautiful old building overlooking a park. When I looked out my window to the right, I could practically reach out and touch Le Bon Marché department store. At the end of the park on the left was the old […]

Legacy Records

03 . 12 . 18

Legacy Records is not very conveniently located unless you are visiting or exhibiting at the Javitz Center. But the chic new restaurant might be worth the trek. Legacy Records is the latest project from Delicious Hospitality, the team behind downtown restaurants Charlie Bird & Pasquale Jones. The new space at the Hudson Yards includes an 85-seat restaurant, […]

Gucci Garden

01 . 11 . 18

I’m sure no one needs another excuse to visit Florence but the new Gucci Garden that just opened is a very compelling reason. The Gucci Garden is located inside the historic Palazzo della Mercanzia, which housed the Gucci Museo. Conceived by creative director Alessandro Michele, the newly designed space features a store with one-of-a-kind items, the […]

If you follow me on Instagram, then you will have seen these photos already but I wanted to make sure I share Roman and Williams GUILD NY with everyone. GUILD NY is the new lifestyle space by Roman and Williams at 53 Howard Street that includes a flower shop, restaurant, and mercantile space that all meld […]

Everyone keeps asking me when I’m going back to Paris. Unless something comes up sooner, it probably won’t be until the Spring. In the meantime, I’m putting together my list of new places to visit and Divellec is topping the list. Le Divellec was a venerable seafood restaurant located in the Invalides area of Paris […]

Lovely Loulou

10 . 05 . 16

It seemed like everyone I follow on Instagram ate at the very chic new restaurant Loulou during Paris Fashion Week. The team behind Monsieur Bleu in the Palais de Tokyo is behind this new venture located in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs that also has a terrasse along the picturesque Jardins des Tuileries. Chic French designer Joseph Dirand wanted the […]

Mention the restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns and people either say it was the best meal of their life or they are dying to go. I was very lucky to be invited recently to drive the Lincoln MKZ an hour outside the city to experience the restaurant and farm for myself. For those unfamiliar withBlue […]

Le Coucou

06 . 29 . 16

My friend Tim and I decided to check out the new hotel 11 Howard while we were in Soho last week. Part of the hotel includes the new restaurant Le Coucou which is collaboration between chef Daniel Rose of Spring and La Bourse et La Vie in Paris and famed restaurateur Stephen Starr of Starr Restaurants. I […]

People seem to have a love hate relationship with Milan but if every place looked as chic as T’a Milano, I’m sure everyone would love the city.  The chocolate shop and bistro is a contemporary update to the Alemagne’s family business. The blue velvet banquettes and citron upholstery are the perfect complement to the marble floors and brass accents. […]

Fashion week has begun in Paris and all the Instagram photos have me slightly regretting not returning to the City of Light to attend. Although, I’m sure my Air France flight would have been cancelled so it’s probably for the best.  When I do go back, the first place on my must visit list is Le […]

I mentioned Ralph’s Coffee last week but thought you might want to see a few photos. The new cafe is located on the second floor of the new Polo Ralph Lauren store on Fifth Avenue and it’s worth the trek.  You can eat in their chic seating area or get something to go after shopping […]
