Welcome to NYC

As a tribute to the upcoming holiday of LOVE, this is just going to be a post of loves: things I've seen or done or people I've run into or general things that have made me happy since the move to NYC.

LOVE.
Jenna Torres 
Singer/songwriter. Amazing wonder woman, talented writer, beautiful spirit. Introduction by the one and only Scot Sax. So pleased we will be working together, Jenna! Find out more about Jenna here



LOVE.
Pipsqueak Chapeau 
I grabbed one of these alpaca wool kitty cat hats in light pink for my little girl from this designer in Brooklyn. This little hat turns heads. Lots of beautifully-knitted clothing and accessories for both kids and adults.


LOVE.
Eclipse NYC 
My new friend, Simon, from Eclipse NYC measured, ordered, and installed shades within one week for my large and largely unprivate bedroom windows. Nice guy, great work, and very affordable. Get in touch if you need privacy or just want a bit of drama. 

LOVE.
Auer's Moving & Rigging
These dudes are studs. If you want to hoist something through your window, book 'em. A team arrived yesterday to bring the piano into the new apartment. Perfect execution. Not a scratch. And super nice to boot.


LOVE.
Doma Cafe & Gallery
In the West Village on Perry Street. Great vibes. Check it out.




LOVE.
Gramercy Park Hotel
Speaking of drama...after a night out or if you just need a wee little break during the day, stop in and have a seat in the lobby of this celeb-chic hotel. The piped-in aromatherapy, grand fireplace, and people-watching opps make it a worthwhile, "take a load off" kind of place. You never know who you might run into...Julia, Uma, or in my case, "weird, bipolar lady" nodding off on the opposite end of the couch. Just another typical day in NYC.
