You probably did some shopping for your loved ones over T-giving weekend, which means it’s time to treat yourself. Yes, you, hardworking you. This week, we have what you need to un-frazzle yourself from visiting your family and unwind, NYC style. Think free concerts and performances starring A-list stars, a decadent surf & turf dinner, and a luxurious 4-treatment spa day that basically ensures you’ll be the belle of every holiday ball. Self-gifting has never been so fun!
