A beautiful blend of Danish minimalism and New York authenticity comes together at this Soho spot that serves as a sanctuary from the 24/7 energy outside.

It’s hard to imagine a hotel room keeping you from exploring the city, but Fouquet’s utterly charming Parisian aesthetic—and plenty of elevated amenities—will do that.

The spirit of the city lives in Nine Orchard, a revived former bank that’s imbued with its original neo-renaissance design throughout the 113-room building.

Once home to the culture’s most revered writers, artists and musicians, the Chelsea Hotel lives on as a destination where old-world sophistication meets modern conveniences. 

Between the brasserie-inspired menu and infectious energy of the room, this Soho institution is a must visit any time of day or night.

Embrace the old-school glamour at The Grill. Inside the opulent, mid century-inspired space, expect tableside service and American chophouse classics on the menu.

Like stepping into a nonna’s home, this neighbourhood spot dishes up simple-but-perfect Italian plates, including grilled octopus, wild boar ragu and whole branzino. 

Brunch plans are best made at La Mercerie, a French restaurant tucked inside Roman and Williams Guild. Order the house-smoked salmon tartine and a plate of crêpes au sucre for the table—you won’t regret it.

Estela’s cozy atmosphere in Nolita is only bested by its ever-changing, modern American menu. Recent highlights include PenBay scallops with golden potato and brown butter plus ricotta dumplings and mushrooms.

No one has a curatorial eye quite like Gwyneth Paltrow—and goop’s living room-like Bond Street location is proof. Expect a rotating cast of covetable brands in the style, beauty and wellness realms. 

Stocked with luxury dinnerware, beautiful objets and can’t-find-anywhere-else furniture, Roman and Williams Guild’s artisan-made home pieces are made to last a lifetime.

London-based Varley made a name for itself with chic, elevated activewear and has since expanded to beautiful staples made for wear and re-wear. Its calming West Broadway boutique is worth a visit.

La Garçonne has been home to thoughtfully picked luxury fashion and design since 2005. These days, labels like Totême, The Row, Sophie Buhai and Cecilie Bahnsen are ripe for the picking in its inviting Greenwich Street storefront.

This art institution on the Upper East Side requires no introduction. Consider this a gentle reminder that the exhibits (and the stunning venue itself) are a required outing while you’re there.

No matter how many times you’ve been to New York, the High Line is always worth a stroll. Start in the Meatpacking District and hop on and off as you please.
