Remember those days when we were unburdened by social media, really connecting IRL, eating food without first taking a picture? Yeah, that was boring. Thank goodness we now live in a city interesting enough to constantly take photos in, so we can share with our friends who live in less exciting towns. This week, we bring you the most photogenic places and events on our calendar, from the High Line to a posh LES hotel brunch, Dessert Goals, a vintage party to pick up some Burner-chic outfits, because #SecretSummer. Having fun has never looked so good…
