I started the March New and Noteworthy post earlier in the month but got sidetracked. It actually worked out well since I was able to add a few more things that should be on your radar this month. We could really use more hotels on the Upper East Side so I hope someone builds or […]

I can’t believe it’s mid-May already although it feels like the height of summer with the beautiful weather we’ve been having in NYC this week. Not sure when you’ll have time to stay in and watch a movie or television show but there is a lot debuting this month in addition to many wonderful museum […]

I can’t believe it’s January 10th already. Time flies when trying to get back on track after the holidays. The one time I don’t mind climate change is when it’s warm and mild in January in New York. It makes getting out and doing things a lot easier but if you live in one of […]

I waited all summer for September to arrive and I can’t believe it’s already over. Time flies when you are having fun! New York is back and even better than our pre-pandemic days. There are new restaurant and store openings, premiers and parties happening all over town. There are also so many television shows filming […]

Ben and Jen Take Paris

07 . 27 . 22

Just in case you haven’t been following my Instagram stories, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been in Paris with four of their children on a family holiday. It’s also a bit of a honeymoon since they just tied the knot in Las Vegas and a birthday trip to celebrate Jennifer’s 53rd birthday on Monday. […]

The questions I’m asked most often on Instagram are “where should I go in New York” and “do you have a guide”. People haven’t been to the city in years due to the pandemic so they are planning trips and want to know where to stay and most often, where to eat. I don’t have […]

While it feels like world is about to end there are a few good things happening this month. In addition to new exhibitions, shows to binge, and clothes to buy, the US returns to Daylight Saving Time which means it will stay light out later and hopefully make everyone feel a little better. Also, I’ve […]

It snowed this morning in New York as you can see from the photo from Manhattan Bird Alert above. It looks pretty but makes taking walks and dining outside very difficult at the moment. I was very gung-ho to start this New Year but I already feel a bit uninspired and unmotivated. I found last […]

Summer is not my season so I’m been working on a lot of projects (the reason for the radio silence) and biding my time until fall. I do have to say that the city is looking lush and beautiful though. I love all the green and white plantings I saw on Fifth Avenue Friday. There […]

Last year felt like it crawled by at a snail’s pace while this year is flying by. I can’t believe it will be July next week. If you’re coming to the city or just looking for new things to see and do, I’ve got you covered. This week, I attended the Member Preview for The […]

I was in Connecticut and didn’t get to post one of my semi-regular Bon Weekend posts on Friday. There are a few new shows coming up this week of which I wanted to make you aware so I decided a New & Notable post was in order. As you can see from my Instagram post […]

I had such a busy and enjoyable week and now that the sun is finally out, it feels like all is right with the world again. There were lots of events and openings as everyone tries to get things on the calendar before people start leaving for the Hamptons and summer vacations. But if you […]

Hope your New Year is going well. I’ve spent the last week and a half trying to get back on track while also checking out art exhibitions and visiting new places in my spare time. I thought I’d share them in case you want to explore the city but I’ve included a few other options […]

April showers bring May flowers but they also offer up a great time to head indoors. There are a lot of great museum exhibitions on view this spring and not just in New York. I am planning a couple road trips to see some of them. Here’s where you should head inside the next time it rains. Seurat’s […]

Last week I noticed two interesting Instagram photos posted from Milan on the same day. One was taken by interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein and the other by editor J.J. Martin. While they both had different captions and descriptions, I had a feeling they were  both visiting the same place.  After some careful online sleuthing, I discovered […]

Save the Frick

05 . 10 . 15

I’ve been hearing too many stories recently about great design being changed or destroyed.  The iconic 1960’s Hotel Okura in Tokyo is slated for demolition in September of this year. Real estate mogul Aby Rosen wants to make changes to the legendary Philip Johnson designed Four Seasons restaurant in New York. The gorgeous Rizzoli bookstore has already […]

Woman in Gold

03 . 20 . 15

Spring doesn’t just mean warmer weather and new clothes. It also marks the debut of new museum exhibitions and films.  In the case of the Woman in Gold, both of these things are related. Gustav Klimt and Adele Bloch-Bauer: The Woman in Gold will open at the Neue Galerie in New York on April 1, 2015 […]
