As Isak Dinesen said, “The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.” We so often forget that Manhattan after all is an island, but it’s really one of the secret best things about NYC. This week, it’s all about oceanic inspiration, from a Galapagos-themed party in SoHo, to an exquisite Greek dinner in Chelsea, to a boutique rowing workout (sweat check, sea check). Wrap it all up with a waterfront wine and food festival in Brooklyn, and you will basically have your own bubble of good island vibes even in NYC November weather.
