One of my favorite past times is taking my children out and experiencing the wonder of our enchanting City through their eyes. Yesterday, Sofia and I had fun strolling along the High Line and cozying up in the charming High Line Hotel.

TGIF, everyone! We’ve made it through another week and there are plenty of fun things to reward yourself for a job well-done. Make sure to visit an open house this weekend or try your hand at perfecting the perfect pizza pie. If pizza isn’t on your menu these days and you have an exciting Halloween costume you’re trying to fit into, then check out a chic yoga class in Little Italy or try a CrossFit class along the East River – if you dare.
A new store has opened in Tribeca that every fashionista MUST put at the top of her shopping list. Named after co-owners Kimmy Carton’s and Jackie Brookstein’s hometown – Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania – Valley offers a compelling alternative to Soho boutiques.
Happy Friday, everyone! Last week, I enjoyed sharing some hot spots with you so much, that I’ve decided to share more with you every Friday. I had an incredible meal at Carbone this week – I definitely suggest you add it to your list if you’ve not already been. If you’re in the mood for a ritzy night out, try the SL nightclub. Feel like getting pampered? -Stop by Pas de Deux Salon for an invigorating scalp treatment. And if you’re looking for something to keep you (and perhaps even the kids) occupied, The New Yorker Festival and the James Beard House both have some exciting events in store for the weekend.
Last week I had the great fortune to travel to Paris, the City of Light, with a handful of women who, in addition to being incredible mothers and fitness buddies at Tracy Anderson Method, are some of the best friends I could ever ask for. Traveling to Paris with them was a completely different experience than traveling alone or with family – we didn’t want to go home, so we went BIG! The restaurants were world-class, the museums took my breath away, and the shopping …oh my gosh, the shopping! Here are the highlights of a week in Paris to give you the travel bug too!
If you ask me, fall starts when the pumpkin spiced lattes start rolling out but the official first day of the season was last Sunday, the 22nd so now there is no denying it – Summer is over and fall is here! Before the sky darkens and the weather gets too frigid, take your sweetheart out on the town for a fun night of great food, exciting shows and sumptuous cocktails. Here are a few spots on the top of my list:
You were probably able to surmise from my last post that I am deeply invested…
As one of the founding families at Avenues: The World School, we took a leap of faith and trusted that this establishment would be the best choice for our family. After a full year with Avenues, I can say with confidence that it was everything we had hoped for – and then some! We’re so excited to have such an amazing private school downtown. It has been a blessing my daughter’s growth and development while attending the school and I cannot wait to see what is in store for her this year!
As the new admission season begins, I’d like to introduce you to the incredible Avenues community. The happiness and positive energy is truly contagious and I am enthusiastic to endorse this school to all New York parents and beyond. This fall, Avenues will have weekly grade- and division-specific Parent Information Events. I sincerely recommend these events to anyone that is curious about the school.
Whether we like it or not, we live in an age where much of what goes on in our daily lives is monitored, collected and sold to interested parties — our driving records, our medical history, our Internet traffic and, most importantly, our credit information.
A mistake on your credit report can cost you money. It can increase the interest you pay on loans, prevent you from getting a mortgage or buying a car, landing a job or getting a security clearance. It’s not uncommon. A new government study indicates as many as 40 million Americans have a mistake on their credit report. Twenty million have significant mistakes. Those mistakes can be nearly impossible to get removed from your record.
