“The best things in life are free. The second best things in life are very expensive.” - Coco Chanel
New Yorkers don’t come to the Big Apple just to taste the *second* best things in life - they work hard and play hard for the best things in the world. So the theme this week is “Luxury,” the kind that you just can’t experience anywhere else in the world. From the mother of all sample sales (hint: C***L), to an evening with one of the most influential women in the world; a luxurious holistic spa day to a rose’-colored evening, here’s what we have in store for you this week.
