New York files 🗽🍸🤍

Business turned girls trip. A little work, a lot of play, and the best city for both. From morning coffee runs in SoHo to late night martinis at The Polo Bar, here’s our curated guide to the New York spots we loved most this trip. Perfect for anyone planning their own NYC escape.

TO EAT

Carbone

Classic New York Italian at its best. The energy, the red sauce, the nostalgia, it’s all there. Order the spicy rigatoni vodka (trust us) and enjoy a meal that feels like a scene out of an old school film. Between the checkered floors and the tuxedoed waiters, this is one of those places that truly defines “New York dining.” Perfect for a celebratory dinner or a long lunch between meetings and shopping in SoHo

Corner Store

A cozy downtown French spot that feels like a secret. The lights are low, the crowd is chic, and the martinis are perfect. Order oysters, sip slowly, and settle in for the kind of dinner that stretches late into the night

The Polo Bar

An institution for a reason. Ralph Lauren’s iconic Midtown restaurant brings that classic American luxury with dark woods, rich leather, and glowing light. The service is flawless and the steak is unforgettable. Dress up, enjoy a cocktail, and let yourself feel part of old New York for the evening.

Zou Zou’s

Modern Mediterranean dining that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Every plate is bright, flavorful, and meant to be shared. Try the hummus with chili oil, the lamb kebabs, and a round of cocktails to match. Dinner here always seems to turn into a night out.

The Mark Hot Dog Cart

A true New York classic. Parked outside The Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side, this chic little cart serves the city’s most iconic street bite. Grab a hot dog, stroll through Central Park, and enjoy the most stylish snack break in Manhattan.

TO SHOP

Soho

For those who love clean lines and elevated everyday fashion, SoHo is heaven. Stop by Toteme and The Frankie Shop for that effortless European feel. Walk the cobblestone streets, grab a coffee, and browse boutiques filled with pieces you will actually wear again and again.

Uptown

When you are ready to invest in forever pieces, head uptown. Browse The Row and Khaite for refined luxury staples that never go out of style. Cashmere coats, tailored denim, and handbags that feel like heirlooms. Uptown shopping is quiet sophistication at its finest.

TO SIP

King Cole Bar

Tucked inside The St. Regis, this historic bar has been pouring martinis and Manhattans for more than a century. Velvet seats, oil paintings, and old world glamour fill the space. It is the perfect place for a nightcap that feels timeless and indulgent.

TO STAY

Pendry Chelsea

Modern, warm, and polished, The Pendry Chelsea is the perfect home base for exploring galleries, restaurants, and boutiques. The design feels luxurious yet welcoming, with beautiful city views and thoughtful touches throughout. Ideal for a weekend getaway or a work trip that feels like vacation.

A New York minute

A trip filled with diamonds, martinis, and my favorite girls. The kind of New York memories that never fade. Until next time, NYC.
