This week brings us the first 70 degree day in 2016–woohoo! As if that’s not enough reason to celebrate, we’ve got the scoop on the best things to do around town: feminist art in celebration of International Women’s Day, Lupita N'gyongo sighting, a Brooklyn house party hosted by Jack Daniels, and a trip to Tokyo or Italy–you choose.
3/7-3/8 THINX Presents: The Vagina Monologues
What, you haven’t seen The VM in college? Now is your chance, at the special 2-night only presentation of the feminist classic, hosted by THINX, the coolest women-friendly startup around. And there will be cupcakes.
3/9 Tour of Italy Wine & Food Tasting
Travel to sun-drenched Italy–with wines representing its myriad regions, matched with gourmet appetizers and amuse bouches. Ah, you were always meant to live like this.
3/9-3/10 Jack Daniels House Siete
Exactly what this sounds like: complimentary Jack-based cocktails, live music, dancing until dawn–all courtesy of the brand that brought you “Jack & Coke.” We’re all grateful for that.
3 Course Haven Rooftop Dinner & Cocktails
The impeccable French-American menu and gorgeous floor-to-ceiling glass views all over Manhattan will make you feel like the 1%.
3/10 Conversation with Lupita N'yongo
What’s more noteworthy about Lupita–her stunning good looks, or equally stunning talent and intelligence? Anyways, you can judge for yourself when she talks to Aol about her star turn in Eclipsed, now playing on Broadway. RSVP stat!
3/10-3/12 Japan Week At Grand Central Station
Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central is transformed into Japan for 3 days, with cultural demonstrations (kabuki makeup! try-on-a-kimono! performances!), craft workshops, delicious Japanese food samples, giveaways, and more.
With all your hard work (and hard play), you need some serious R&R. At the end of your week, escape to a tranquil haven right in the heart of SoHo and treat yourself to a full pampering from head to toe. Come out looking gorgeous and ready to take on another week.
