Stay in Bed

admin — Fri, 06 Oct 2017 04:59:29 +0000

How about not leaving the house at all but staying in bed most of the day? That’s an option. I do that every now and then. I take a shower in the morning, put on fresh PJ’s, make breakfast and crawl into bed with my computer or a book. Anyone who travels for work, or […]

Oh, the options, they are endless. Yet these seven Manhattan destinations feel particularly relevant this fall. McNally Jackson Books 52 Prince Street, New York, NY 10012 With a rich selection of art, design and cookbooks, and a well-curated magazine section, this is my favorite bookstore in New York. If you do not want to leave just yet […]

Eating NY

admin — Thu, 24 Nov 2016 17:58:37 +0000

There are so many great restaurants in the city – and outside of it – that in a way I find it difficult to list anything. You want to try everything and eat everywhere. Still, many of the top rated places are not ones I would return time after time. Like Kosaka, which was outstanding […]

The next step

“Of all the pitfalls in our paths and the tremendous delays and wanderings off the track, I want to say that they are not what they seem to be. I want to say that all that seems like fantastic mistakes are not mistakes, all that seems like error is not error; and it all has […]

The High Line

The High Line is an old railway repurposed into an urban linear park. The first part opened in 2009, and the park now extends from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street, 1.45 miles in total. Along with the idea, I love the execution. The garden is designed is by one of my gurus, Piet Oudolf, who […]

City Escape: Upstate NY

admin — Thu, 24 Nov 2016 17:54:31 +0000

Rent a car and drive upstate. There is more and more to experience in the Hudson Valley. In the summer, Montauk. Things to try: Gaskins restaurant in Germantown (I am still dreaming of the apple and celery salad they served as an appetizer, and the young ginger ice cream for dessert), River Town Lodge hotel […]

11 Howard

admin — Thu, 24 Nov 2016 04:57:31 +0000

For a full week in SoHo, I can not think of a more convenient stay than the one we had in 11 Howard. Opened in April 2016, the hotel is focused on casual luxury and conscious hospitality promoting “familiarity and comfort – but offset with surprise and adventure”, as they put it on their website. […]

The Apartment in New York

admin — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 10:54:41 +0000

As rich and beautiful the place is in pictures, I prefer a physical visit. Since The Apartment by the Line opened in New York just two years ago, it has become a must-visit destination for anyone interested in fashion, or the new direction of the luxury industry. Just like The Apartment in Los Angeles, that opened […]

Dream stay

admin — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 05:54:13 +0000

Created with their signature Wabi style by designer Axel Vervoordt and architect Tatsuro Miki, the giant penthouse at the Greenwich Hotel in TriBeCa, New York, is like a dream. Even more than the hotel’s visuals online, I fell in love with the details in Garance Doré’s photo story posted two years ago. You might have […]
