There’s something magical about the holidays when trains choo choo through twinkling winter landscapes, tiny villages come to life, and the spirit of the season fills the city.
There’s something perfectly personal about bringing home a Christmas tree each year. It’s not just an errand, like grabbing overpriced eggs —it’s a ritual and the time to make memories for the holiday season.
The final installment of the Wicked movies is finally flying into theaters on November 21, and my heart simply can’t handle it. They say there’s no rest for the wicked — but there’s also no rest for the marketing teams at every brand enjoying the ride on the Wicked: For Good broom.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived at Sony Hall, but the night quickly set sail on a sea of sound and community. Broadway Bound Kids opened with a spirited performance that captured the energy of the evening—a celebration where Broadway flair met yacht rock grooves, all in support of The PATH Fund (Performing Artists That Help) and its youth program, Rockers on the Rise.
The second Wicked movie is upon us, and just like the first, it has reignited New York City’s enduring love affair with the iconic musical. For more than two decades, Wicked has captivated Broadway audiences with its story of friendship, ambition, and the untold tale of the witches of Oz—and the city has embraced it wholeheartedly.
The air has turned crisp, leaves have traded green for colors, and New York City has transformed into a playground for pumpkin lovers, scare seekers, and costume connoisseurs. From the legendary Blood Manor haunted house tucked in the West Village and cider strolls to pick pumpkins at Gregg’s Trees, there’s no shortage of autumnal adventures. Whether you’re searching out decorated stoops, sipping lattes at a cozy café, or marching in the legendary Village Halloween Parade, NYC in the fall is equal parts spooky and spectacular.
Dining at Enso Omakase in Brooklyn was one of those meals that lingers long after signing the cheque. I’ve been to my fair share of omakase spots, and while many memorable, it can sometimes feel rushed or theatrical—courses flying by before I had a chance to absorb the experience. Enso was the complete opposite. It was thoughtful and intentional, serving at a pace that allowed us to enjoy every bite and fully appreciate the fish that comes from purveyors specializing in omakase.
I recently experienced my very first DAYBREAKER with FlavCity, Sydney Miller and Austin Millz —and I honestly didn’t expect it to be this incredible. As someone who’s been focusing more on my health lately, this event felt like the perfect combination of wellness, fun, and community—and completely different from the typical NYC social scene.
I first met Noah Rothbaum at this year’s Tales of the Cocktail, and it was immediately clear I was in the presence of whiskey royalty. His deep well of knowledge, disarming humility, and easy storytelling made an impression long before a single bottle was opened. So when I heard he was launching The Whiskey Bible, I knew it wasn’t going to be just another book release—it was going to be an event for whiskey lovers.
As soon as I got the notification that the 2025 Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund Benefit was happening again this year, I immediately texted my friend — the same one I’d gone with the year before — and said, “That amazing food fundraiser at Chelsea Market is back – we have to go.”
