What I love most about the Big Apple, you can never get tired of it and every time I go back, I discouver something new.
STAY: I attended an event at the Aspen Social Club at the Stay Hotel and immediately fell in love with the modern-lodge feeling of the space. It is conveniently located in Mid-Town and you are walking distance from Times Square, Central Park and Rockefeller Centre. Not to mention you are also surrounded by world class shopping at Madison and Fifth Avenue.

I found this really neat site and I had to share. New York menswear designer Patrik Ervell launched the coolest on-line shopping site. One of the major reasons why I enjoy on-line shopping so much is because I am able to view snapshots of collections at such a fast rate and in it’s entirety.
Ervell has just made the shopping experience that much more fun by bringing his lovely gent to life. He shows his pastel spring/summer 2010 collection with a dashing virtual model that moves and fidgets with his clothes. You actually get to see how the clothing moves and fits on the body.
This e-commerce site is must see. www.patrikervell.com

Marc Jacobs is expanding his empire and opening his sixth store in the West Village. He has signed a lease at 400 Bleecker Street, directly across from the famous Magnolia Cupcake store. The space he is taking over is where the Biography Book Shop called home for 20 years.
When MJ International signed the lease, it was speculated that it would end up being another “lifestyle” boutique. It has now been confirmed that it is going to be a book store later this winter 2010.
What will it be called? “Book Marc” of course. I think it’s quite fitting.

It’s April and I hear NYC is 25 Degrees Celsius! Pack your bags and head over to the east coast as it seems the sun is shining over there.
STAY: Soho is probably my favourite spot in New York. I like the quaint atmosphere, local cafes, and boutique shopping. There are many hotels to choose from but the SoHo Grand probably has the best amenities. I would say the rooms are comfortable offering a mix of modern with a dash of traditional details.
The lounge is amazing and being a dog friendly hotel, you can have a drink at the bar while your pooch chews on a biscuit by your side. If you are traveling alone and need some company, the hotel has a goldfish in a bowl they can … more …
Scandinavian cocktails, cashmere blankets and no choice but to huddle up close for heat and warmth - sounds like the perfect date venue to me.
Welcome to Polar, a new underground lounge that just opened its doors in New York underneath Gramercy’s Marcel Hotel. A swanky ice den of sorts, you can sip on drinks like Operation Highjump (Reyka Icelandic Vodka, Frozen Grapes, White Grape Juice and Pear Eau de Vie) while sharing an appetizer like Truffle Egg Toast.
Tuck away by drawing down the curtains in a private VIP ice cave - decked with mirrors cozy couches, and plush pillows. Perfect for some not so private PDA.
Polar, at the Marcel, 201 E. 24th St, nr. Third Ave. reservations@nycpolar.com
