The Breslin Bar and Dining Room

20W 29th Street
New York City, NY 10001

This one gets rave reviews in the press. New York Mag claims it has the best breakfast and elsewhere the fries and burgers are hailed as must-try. In any case, if you like a hearty meal and, particularly, English grub, this is the place to go. You will have a hard time focusing on your meal, however, as its usually also full of interesting people.

One of New York’s hottest nightspot, Top of the Strand, features stunning Empire State Building views, drinks under the stars, and sophisticated style. In fact, The New York Times recently wrote that “it’s not a stretch to imagine that you’re perched in a skybox, watching, up close, the gorgeous light show that is Manhattan at night.” Take the elevator up to the 21st floor and step out onto the rooftop deck. Here, midtown workers mingle with Strand guests, enjoy stunning views of the iconic grille of the Empire State Building.

Matsuri
369  16th Street
New York, NY 10011
http://matsurinyc.com

Matsuri means ‘festival’ in Japanese. Matsuri is a time to shake off the serious business of life and to enjoy the pleasure of company.
Matsuri introduces a world of cooking beyond its amazing sushi selection. Exuberant, fun and stylish, Matsuri also ushered in a Japanese tapas cuisine, a procession of plates anything but fussy: ingredient driven, modern but informed by tradition, flavorful, surprising, sophisticated and utterly engaging. Late night, Matsuri’s Sakana menu of Japanese small plates compliment a wide selection of sake and shochu. With New York’s only sake sommelier, Matsuri’s sake selection is the largest in the city.
Matsuri has quickly won a devoted following for its vibrant, contemporary cooking and defined a new style of Japanese dining in New York.

Chanel

Inspired by Chanel’s upcoming collection – all slinky knits and super-thick furs –, Peter Philips, Directeur International de la Création Maquillage Chanel, dedicated to focus on „les contrastes.” The resulting colour palette clashes muted shades with shimmering tones: reminiscent of a romantic stroll on the Seine’s river banks, it promises to look equally great in a luxury chalet, set against the flickering flames of a rustic fireplace.

In this spirit, its time for another roundup of recommended children’s wear blending excellent, hardwearing quality with tasteful, yet kiddie-compatible designs.

Burberry Kids

Ah, we know, we know … dressing your kids in Burberry might seem a bit poncey, but the designs are oh-so-cute! And why shouldn’t our offspring get the occasional taste of real quality?

We can still remember our own childhood days and those magical moments in upmarket boutiques, usually during the holidays … after endless fondling and back-and-forth, our mum would finally buy the coveted item and take extra care to keep it pristine. Most of these pieces became instant heirlooms and were passed on from one family member to the next.

So, what do you think: doesn’t everyone deserve a classic?

In this spirit, its time for another roundup of recommended children’s wear blending excellent, hardwearing quality with tasteful, yet kiddie-compatible designs.

Little Marc Jacobs

Whether Little Marc Jacobs, Little Marc, Little MJ … all monikers point to the same man: last decade’s ultimate designer and king of chaos, redefined cliché and ‘non-concept.’

With his love for offbeat combinations and spontaneous dressing, Marc Jacobs is a kid at heart – so what could be more natural than creating a children’s range?

Little Marc Jacobs mixed and matches elements from the designer’s adult ranges with a delightfully naïve approach. But see for yourself: we have picked out a few of our personal favourites.
