Things have been busy in New York as everyone prepares to travel and celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday next week. I still can’t believe this year is almost over. It really feels like it was just January. I also haven’t done a Bon Weekend post in a few weeks so I thought one was in order. […]

It’s starting to look a little bit like fall in New York but it definitely still feels like summer. I’m off on a field trip today but here are some things to do and places to go and this weekend. My new iPhone 11 Pro is scheduled to arrive this weekend and I could not […]

After my recent travels and countless events in NYC, I’m looking forward to a quieter weekend but that doesn’t mean I’ll be staying home. There are many new openings worth checking out. I missed the press preview for the updated galleries at Sotheby’s last weekend because I was traveling so I walked over for a […]

I feel like the unexpected warm weather has helped me get my mojo back. I’ve been busier than usual and taking in everything New York has to offer that I’m sharing with you. If you happen to go to the Ralph Lauren ladies mansion for the café this weekend, make sure you go upstairs to […]

It’s a busy and fun time in New York right now. There are a lot of chic events, exhibitions, and store openings that you should definitely check out this weekend. Goop has had pop ups in New York and the Hamptons but they have just opened Goop Lab, a permanent store at 25 Bond Street. […]

After another heatwave in New York this week, I’m officially ready for fall. Although it looks like the temperatures will abate this weekend, it will also be rainy. Perfect time to watch something new on Netflix or take in a museum. Here are some options to get you through your weekend. First up, is The […]

Not all museum exhibitions have to be ground breaking. Some can just be beautiful and Public Parks, Private Gardens: Paris to Provence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is beyond beautiful. The show “explores horticultural developments that reshaped the landscape of France and grounded innovative movements both artistic and green.” It features over 150 works […]

I wasn’t sure what to expect when the Metropolitan Museum of Art decided to rent out the old Whitney Museum on Madison Avenue to create the Met Breuer, new space dedicated to modern and contemporary art. Their first exhibition Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible is one of the most interesting and original shows I’ve seen in a […]

The Tribeca Film Festival is a very exciting time in New York for movie buffs. I was very lucky to get tickets to new documentary The First Monday in May last night and can’t say enough good things about the film. It was conceived by Andrew Rossi who previously directed the award winning documentary Page One: Inside […]

When I was living in Paris, I made it a point to visit as many museums and sights as possible. When I returned to New York, I realized that there were a lot of places I still haven’t been to here even though I’ve lived in the city for 14 years. I’ve been making it […]

  Autumn doesn’t just signify falling leaves. It also means the start of wonderful art exhibitions.  One of the most exciting is Cubism: The Leonard A. Lauder Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art which is billed as “the most important exhibition of the essential Cubists—Georges Braque (French, 1882– 1963), Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927), Fernand Léger (French, […]

I really thought I was going to love the Charles James: Beyond Fashion exhibition today at The Metropolitan Museum of Art but I found it underwhelming.  The gowns and other pieces are beautiful but the pitch black rooms with strange futuristic cameras was distracting and disappointing.  I would have loved to have seen the dresses […]

I took a quick trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art this week and happened to walk past the Gridiron Greats exhibition.  The museum has a selection of vintage football cards on display in honor of the first ever Super Bowl played in New York. Even if you don’t like sports, I think you can […]

When I read one reviewer of the new Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art describe the Impressionist artists as the “street style photographers of the past”, I thought Monet and Manet would roll over in their graves. But once you see the exhibition in person, you realize that the Impressionists […]
