I recently had the chance to be one of the very first to experience something pretty unforgettable — and now, you can too (but only until September 7th). Evian®, longtime sponsor of the US Open, has teamed up with Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud and tennis star Frances Tiafoe (the prestigious water’s global ambassador) to create The Evian Club — an exclusive, limited-time dining and match-viewing experience inside Restaurant DANIEL, one of the most sophisticated spots on the Upper East Side.
As I walked into Central Park at 79th and 5th, headed toward the newly revitalized Delacorte Theater, I felt like I was carrying the best secret in New York City. Every person I passed—tourists, dog walkers, people just enjoying a late summer stroll—I wanted to stop them and say, “I’m on my way to watch the Hamilton movie… with the original cast… tonight.”
On Thursday, August 21, 2025, the brand-new Hyatt Regency Times Square brought the spirit of the US Open right to Midtown Manhattan with an unforgettable pop-up pickleball event.

Tennis season is well underway and officially taking over New York. At the center of the action, Thompson Central Park is establishing itself as the ultimate off-court destination.

As Great Jones Distilling Co. celebrates four years as Manhattan’s first and only whiskey distillery since Prohibition, the team pulled out all the stops with a week-long celebration packed with immersive events, live performances, world-class food, and—of course—craft whiskey. From August 19–24, the NoHo-based distillery invited locals and visitors alike to step into its glamorous Art Deco space and experience a lineup that blended the best of music, magic, mixology, and history.
On a picture-perfect Thursday evening, August 21, there was tennis magic in the air at Branch—the swanky new private members club perched atop the Park Terrace Hotel. Overlooking the iconic New York Public Library and the lush canopy of Bryant Park, the views were as immaculate as the guest list.
Timed perfectly with the excitement of the US Open, Tubi premiered its original documentary Naomi Osaka: The Second Set last night at The Roxy Cinema in New York. The evening featured an engaging opening panel with Naomi Osaka and director Kat Jayme, moderated by acclaimed journalist Gayle King, before guests were treated to an exclusive first look at the film.
Now that Season Three of The Gilded Age has come to a close, many of us are left wondering how to fill the void.
