Its sad to see the end of yet another fun fashion week. However, I have to say that I was able to end it with a BANG!! Last night I went to the lecture Hermes: A Natural History given by Ménéhold De Bazelaire, the Director of Cultural Heritage and Curiator of the Emile Hermes museum. This lecutre accompanied Hermes and Panthera exhibit of Fierce and Fragle: Big Cats in the Art of Robert Dallet at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich Ct. The exhibit highlights the works of Dallet, who started working for Hermes in 1985 and created some of the most iconic big cat designs for the company. The Panthera, the global wild cat conservation organization have partnered with Hermes to bring this exhibit starting in Greenwhich and then travelling throughout Europe and Asia in 2016-2017. Hermes is also offering limited editions of scarfs and a coffee table book, with some of the proceeds benefitting this impoartant cause. Hermes is also giving complimentary admisson to this beautiful exhibit at the Bruce Museum now until March 13th. Bon Weekend!!!
I’ve been hearing about the amazing Waffles and Dinges truck travelling around New York City. I started following them on Instagram and all is can say is WOW. Lucky for us, we ran into the truck last week and decided to stop for a coffee and try out one of the amazing waffles. It was so delicious. I brought some home for my food critics and the waffles were a home run all around (how could they not be!!!). I defintely recommend looking them up the next time you are in the City. Oh, and I tried one of their other specialities, Latte with maple syrup. It was incredible. To find where the truck is located, check out their Website.
Besides the glamour and excitment of the runway shows, Fashion Week is all about the New York scene, which is why I try to go beyond the gliz of the haute couture to bring you some new New York in-things and happenings. This week we tried The Dutch, the American cuisine hot spot of the James Beard award winning chef, Andrew Carmellini in Soho. The scene was cool and happening. The food really was amazing. The Maitre d’ brought us a wonderful tuna tartare appitizer to try. Everything was so good from the salads and oysters to the pastas and the steak. There were many truffle items on the menu (our favorite) which were outstanding. The next time you are in New York you have to stop by The Dutch.
In keeping with the spirit of Fashion Week, I thought I would show you Tommy Hillifiger’s 80 Million dollar penthouse that recently came on the market. The fashion icon’s home is in the historic Plaza Hotel and if it sells for the asking price, it will be the second most expensive condo to ever sell in New York City. I am ready to move right in…how about you???? Bon Weekend
