In case you haven’t noticed, slow is the new rich. Everywhere, formerly hyper-caffeinated CEOs are turning things down a notch and embracing mindfulness. Living in the moment, not rushing to the next - you feel us?! This week, pair a meditation class with a complimentary cocktail at the gorgeous Williamsburg Hotel, then tuck into a sustainable, #slowfood dinner at a chic Italian resto. Wrap yourself in ethical luxury at a slow fashion sample sale in SoHo, then come hang out with snails at a Snail Spa opening party. Yes, snail parties are officially a thing now in Brooklyn, so expect to see this in Manhattan in about 5 months. So put down your iPhone and actually take a breath…And remember, slow and steady wins the race.
