We know we said that only grand gestures will do this Mother’s Day, but there is nothing grander than giving Mom the gift of your time. And because you’re such a good multi- tasker, it just makes sense to spend that time breaking bread (or a tin of caviar) to celebrate Mom at these top NYC spots.

Some say it with flowers. Then, there are those who say it with chocolate. That’s all nice, and of course, Mom doesn’t expect anything. In fact, she genuinely cherishes every gift you give, even that clock you made in woodshop in junior high. But you know Mom didn’t raise you to be run-of-the mill in anything, and that includes gift-giving. So naturally, you’re the one who says “thank you” with a grander gesture, like a well-deserved vacation with Mom. These…
They had us at the first glimpse of their fish and chips, and sealed the deal with their stargazy pie. From the team behind King is a casual rendition of the classic English Pub, and we liked it. A lot. This is a first look at the new Dean’s in NYC. Overview The opening of Dean’s makes you wonder why it took this long for a proper British pub to arrive in New York City. We’re not talking a themed…
Indian cuisine is having its moment in New York City. And when there’s a 35,000-person waitlist for a restaurant in the genre, you could say there’s even a frenzy. Musaafer is a transplant from Houston, and has joined the NYC restaurant scene. Photo courtesy of Musaafer. Atmosphere There is something to be said for a restaurant that stops you in your tracks before you’ve even sat down. Walk past Musaafer’s nondescript entrance on Duane Street in TriBeCa and you’d never…
It used to be members only meant the now almost extinct old-school suit and tie dress codes or gents only clubs. Today the velvet rope has gone vertical, from penthouses in Manhattan to oceanfront compounds in Malibu, to wellness and longevity oases. It may have started with Soho House as a one-off coveted membership, but the next gen of private clubs is giving you a whole host of reasons to join, and our bet is they’re here to stay. An…
It used to be that “members only” meant the now almost-extinct, old-school suit-and-tie dress codes, or gents-only clubs.

There are restaurants that are a go-to when inspiration strikes. Like your no-frills fav Italian joint, or like when you casually pop into Polo Bar for drinks before dins (you are that special). But surprisingly, in NYC, there hasn’t been a great soba spot since the days of Soba Nipon. That is, until now. Enter Soba Ulala, your favorite authentic soba spot in Soho. We may even go as far as to say the best soba in NYC. Photo Credit:…
The man who convinced London that bartending is an art form has landed stateside. Mr Lyan is serving up drinks at his new outpost in NoMad that make you question everything you thought you knew about a martini. High Priest of Mixology “Mr Lyan” rolls off the tongue in a way that “Ryan Chetiyawardana” cannot quite match. Despite the pseudonym, he’s one and the same. This master drink-maker is also known as the ‘high priest of mixology.” Mr Lyan is…
In a city powered by constant motion, the very energy that makes New York exhilarating can just as easily deplete it. Eventually, even the most devoted New Yorker needs a place to reset. Enter a new wave of steam rooms, saunas, urban wellness studios, and bathhouse spas that are quietly redefining the city’s pace. Step inside, and the shift is immediate. The screech of subway doors gives way to breathwork, cascading water, and the low, hypnotic hum of sound bowls.…
It only makes sense that after a 10-course meal paired with fabulous wines, you may feel the need to take a nap. Even better when that nap is an overnight stay, just a few steps upstairs from your table. SingleThread, one of California’s eight restaurants with the prestigious Michelin three-star rating, officially has room for you at the three-key inn. SingleThread Inn (credit: SingleThread) Farm. Restaurant. Inn. On an unassuming corner of North Street and Center Street where the town…
