Spring is here for real, and with that the desire for change. If you’ve been ordering in the same food, booty-calling the same two people from Tinder and wearing the same coat for the past 4 months, let’s snap out of it. This week we have everything you need for your spring fling: An organic, seasonal French fare in the West Village; outdoor brunch with strawberry frose; home decor advice from Aerin Lauder; free rooftop yoga; and a gorgeous charity gala to start off the social season. And the object of your spring love affair? Why, NYC of course.
