Here’s something that even the most die-hard New Yorkers will have to admit: New Yorkers love Europe. Maybe it’s the fact that we have so many ex-pats in this city, or that it takes exact same amount of time to fly to Iceland as to the West Coast: we take our cues from our neighbors across the pond. This week, indulge in the most extravagant St. Tropez-style dinner; take a look at the It British designer’s US launch at abc Home; drink the wines of Tuscany and party with the Joe & the Juice guys like it’s Copenhagen. You, worldly, you.
3 Course Dinner & Cocktails For Two at Bagatelle
Dine like an A-lister at this South of France spot in the heart of Meatpacking. This is the formula that’s been much imitated, but never copied: so French, so NYC, all glam.
3/7 Duresta x Matthew Williamson Launch
Matthew Williamson is the quintessential young Brit designer with a penchant for fabulous prints and even more fabulous celebutant friends. See his dreamy glam boho collection at the launch party at abc Carpet & Home.
3/8 Free Bruichladdich Whisky Tasting
American bourbons are all right, but Scotch is the original thing. Drink some single malt whisky from the Scottish moors in Williamsburg’s hottest whiskey bar, Noorman’s Kil.
3/9 A Taste of Italy: An Evening of Food & Wine
Drinking wine in Tuscany is on everyone’s bucket list, and for good reason. It’s one of the best things in life, no? Enjoy 2 hours of tastings of more than a dozen unique varietals, from the Piedmont to Sicily. Ah, la dolce vita…
3/10 Clinique x Joe & The Juice in SoHo
Celebrate the launch of Clinique x Joe & the Juice collab at this party with beauty treatments, free juices, giveaways and more. But TBH, we’d go there just to ogle the studly baristas.
Boozy Brunch for Two at Le Midi, Greenwich Village
Wrap up your Euro-centric week with a fantastic French brunch at Le Midi, the lovely Parisian bistro with the city’s best Croque Madame. Sante!
