This week, we’re taking inspiration from that special breed of humanity, especially prevalent in NYC, known as “ladies who lunch.” Whether they’re Hollywood stars, socialites, trust fund babies, Insta-celebs, etc etc, there are plenty of people in this city who can take a leisurely 2 hour lunch in the middle of a work day because, like, what’s “work”? You don’t have to be giving them side-eyes when you can also indulge in the life of leisure. Think: Japanese fine dining in MePa, Italian-chic happy hour, dreamy Bottega Veneta clothes, and a posh Russian brunch in Gramercy. Just keeping it simple, you know?
