It’s that time of the year when everyone (in NYC at least) gets confused about how to feel: should you be happy that the sweltering heat has somewhat died down? Or should you be sad that summer is almost over? Well, let’s just choose happiness, and live in the moment, shall we? We have just the perfect weekend itinerary to make you forget your end-of-summer anxieties, from an open bar party in Williamsburg, to a blissed out spa day, to amazing Italian dinner followed by Rio closing party.
Today we’re looking at a high of an easygoing 88*, followed by 84* tomorrow and 82* on Sunday. Chances of scattered rain on Sunday, but there will be more sun than clouds, we promise. And here’s the ideal weather appropriate outfit, courtesy of Miranda Kerr, to take you everywhere without looking like you tried too hard or too little.
A bright print top and colorful strappy sandals shows you are fun yet fashionable; denim shorts say “It’s freakin’ hot and I don’t take myself too seriously.” Get it, girl.
Friday night Open Bar Party at Kinfolk 94
Hang out with the beautiful people and enjoy art, live music, and free D'usse open bar (yes, Jay Z’s chosen poison) at this epicenter of chic, which is so hipster isn’t not even ironic anymore - just hip.
Saturday morning Float Therapy & Sauna at Floating Lotus
Recover from last night (or morning, but who’s counting) with a complete detoxification experience at Floating Lotus. Immersive therapy, infrared sauna, and salt cave treatments will have you sweating out your toxins and emerging like you slept 12 hours and bathed in fresh dew. What hangover?
Saturday evening Beergarden at North Brooklyn Farms
The most idyllic setting for a beer garden ever - an organic urban farm along the waterfront, with sweeping views of Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Best and award-winning local beers and twinkle lights…It’s the quintessential summer experience.
Sunday dinner at Gallo Nero III
Head to the West Village for a delectable Italian supper by chef Augusto Ferreira (a Cipriani alum). You can’t go wrong with house-made fresh pastas for a Sunday night dinner.
Sunday night Rio Closing Ceremony Party at Samsung 837
Walk over a few blocks to Meatpacking’s Samsung 837 and join in the best Rio closing party in the city: live casting of the ceremony on their 3 story screen, snacks, cocktails, DJ, and Brazilian dancers will erase your Sunday night blues.
Have a great weekend, New York! See you Monday ;)
