It’s that time of year when all the tourists around the Rock make walking in Midtown even more unbearable than ever before. (It’s just a giant tree, let’s keep moving!) Out-of-towners have a Home Alone 2 vision of NYC in winter, which we know is just stressful as heck. This week, it’s all about coziness, charm, and hygge, the way *real* New Yorkers like to celebrate the holidays. Think: a pajama party hosted by Prabal Gurung, a cheese-filled Georgian feast in Williamsburg, a Danish fashion party, and Angus & Julia Stone unplugged at normally rowdy Public Hotel. Holiday magic, pretty much.
11/14 Prabal Gurung Pajama Party
Ultra-chic designer Prabal (can we call you Prabal?) is best known for dressing Michelle O among countless other chic ladies. Join the designer for a chic-yet-comfy pajama party at Cadillac House, getting primped up and enjoying tonic refreshments by Dirty Lemon.
$59 For A 2 Course Dinner For Two With A Bottle Of Wine At Cheeseboat
We won’t complain about the cold weather when it gives us a full-on excuse to indulge in plenty of melted cheese, butter, and oven-warm bread at this Williamsburg hotspot.
11/15 SKAGEN Pop-Up Opening Party
The Danes have given us a couple of world-class treasures like Nicolaj Coster-Waldau and the word “hygge.” What would we do without?? Check out their superior design aesthetic on top of it all, at SKAGEN’s Seaport pop-up opening, with complimentary seasonal cocktails and gifts for the first 50 guests.
11/16 Vino & Truffle Food & Wine Festival At Eataly
Coziness gets an haute spin at Eataly’s unlimited truffle festival, showcasing the world’s most luxurious ingredient.
11/17 Angus & Julia Stone Concert at Public Hotel
Nothing makes us wrap ourselves in a huge cable knit blanket and roll around, quite like the duo’s anthem “Big Jet Plane.” Get breathy and mellow with the Aussie indie pop icons at hipper-than-thou Public Hotel.
$49 Ticket To The 8th Annual Holiday Spirits Bazaar
Wrap it all up with a decadent holiday cocktails festival full of 50+ hot & cold libations and punches, created by NYC’s top mixologists. Pace yourself…or don’t, because it’s the holidays and you’re allowed to get messy drunk. We checked.
