Holiday shopping season is in full swing, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us and less than a month to go before Christmas is upon us. Celebrating Hanukkah? It starts early this year - December 2nd - so find those gifts soon! This week brings a wealth of options for everyone on your list. Enjoy a good sweat at a Pure Barre class, then head to SoHo for a free blow-out and wrap it all up with colorful craft cocktails at a vintage-inspired Meatpacking hot spot. Don’t forget to stop by and see High Line Hotel’s big, sparkly Christmas tree. Santa’s naughty list? Please, you’re a pro at this.
Schedule your free blow-out at The Strategist’s pop-up event. Their strategy: to get you photo-ready as part of their beauty-forward holiday campaign.
Watch as The High Line Hotel lights up its annual Christmas tree to great fanfare with crafts, carolers, sweet treats and, wait for it, free hot toddies to banish those chills back to the North Pole.
