Stores New York, NY



Bess

One of a kind- both the store & everything in it. The clothing, a rare breed of reworked vintage, comes with studs, chains, exposed zippers, leather, and everything else on the edge of offensive and cool. Gothic yet somehow incredibly romantic- Bess produces a vibe reminiscent of New York's original rock stars. From the black diamond bats, dark tie-dye dresses to the studded moccasins, combat boots, and converse, everything Bess offers a lucrative grunge.

Barney's Uptown


Juicy Couture Uptown

They have Juicy Couture in many other places- there are 3 only in NYC- but my favorite of all is the one on Madison ave. Their bags & their sweats might be as tacky as can be but much of their clothes & jewelry are as pretty as can be. Even prettier and unique to this store is the Couture by Couture collection. I know you'll be hesitant to believe the same brand that makes sweats with juicy across the behind can design anything moderately nice, but please give it a try!!


Henri Bendels

A twist on a department store... some call it the "Gossip Girl " department store as most of the clothing selected resembles the outfits seen on Blair Serena and Jenny. Funky oversized accessories and flirty dresses.

Oak

Hipster haven Oak originated in Brooklyn, but now has a location on bond street. Concrete floors and tarpaper shelves; the racks are lined in sleek and chic blacks and greys. The clothes are asymmetrical, simple and most importantly individual. They feature up and coming designers blended with every hipster’s favorites; commes des garcons meets eairth meets Alexander wang.

Albertine

You will feel like you’re shopping in your best friends closet. The store is tiny and quaint and because of this, each item is deliberately selected. Don't miss this, it might be tiny but you're sure to find something unique.


Big Drop

Careful going in this one, you’re going to want to buy it all. Everything is arranged by color and the dressing rooms are a mix of yummy watermelon colors. Where the staff is notoriously cranky, ignore them and go straight for the shelves.

Seven

Seriously cutting edge pieces from talented and avant-garde designers- really worth looking here if you're in the mood to make a statement. Don't forget to peek at the sublime jewelry, and be ready so splurge!

Think Closet
Stocked with clothing imported from Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. The sizes are small but the clothes are absolutely beautiful. The prices are affordable and best of all is that everything is one of a kind!






Restaurants New York, NY

Sant Ambroeus

Perhaps it is because I used to go as a young girl with my grandmother, or maybe it is the delicious ice creams, it might even be because its a Blair Waldorf regular, but I absolutely love Sant Ambroeus. Its perfect for brunch, a light lunch, coffee, european pastries and take-out paninis. Although everything is worth trying I recommend the veal piccata with roasted asparagus and taleggio cheese fondue or if you're looking for something slightly less heavy order the sea bass with asparagus and olive oil. Best of all, it is conveniently located uptown, downtown & even in South Hampton.

Bar Pitti

Bar pitti is your neighborhood cash only italian spot. don't expect to get a table the second you walk in, this place is popular and does not take reservations for small tables. this tiny little restaurant packs Big flavor and REAL italian food. the Veal Milanese is delightful, as are the polpetini di vitello. you can't go wrong with any dish here!
In warmer months they open up their fabulous outdoor seating.

Sette Mezzo

Upper East Siders frequent this quaint clean and delicious place. Family owned- they only take cash and don't think your bills will be cheap, you might want to hit up the atm before entering. They feature delicious risottos with truffles, and perfectly fried calamari and zuchinni. The waiters know the food they are serving so ask them for their suggestions.

Korean Bar-b-Q (gyu kaku & woo lae oak)

Gyu Kaku

A fun place to go with a hungry group of carnivores. decorated very dark, each table has its own grill ... I suggest ordering the harami miso (if youre in the mood for very sticky saucy meat), if you want more savory meat skip the kobe beef and go for the filet mignon with salt and pepper. order the sweet potatoes and the asparagus . also, don't underestimate the fish.. its yummmy. save room for desert.. you'll want to try more than one. I recommend the yakimochi and the bananas foster.. but lots of people love the smores- it depends on your mood.
