Hands down the best store in New York and nowhere else comes close. It’s tucked away on Bond Street in SoHo and its owner, Sweetu Patel, keeps it stocked with a perfect mix of wardrobe essentials. He also designs a flawless house brand. It’s an insider’s store. There’s nothing fussy or trendy to find here. It’s clean, it’s simple, and it’s rare that 90% of a store’s stock calls one’s name but C’H’C’M does just that. Plus, there’s always someone well-dressed perusing the shop’s wares and if that’s not a marker that you’re in the right place, I’m not sure what is.

Nicest storefront in nyc too. Theyre playing with cuts and fabrics like no one else right now. Trousers have that Lemaire flow at a quarter of the price. Best vertical striped shirts in the game.

Cutest and best sourced collection of vintage designer in the city! They do pop-ups around LES often, but also have a qt website and IG. I got a pair of bleached raw denim 5351 Pour Les Femme jeans that I wear every day from one of their parties and an early 00’s Miu Miu mini skirt that I wore on NYE that I’m obsessed with. It’s ran by some of the hottest LES-ers <3 Shout-out Maya, Nancy, and Jeremie xoxo. I recently figured out that if you say “Heaven I Stay” aloud you get a cute surprise, so say it aloud right now to whoever’s near you :)

This place rules. I got my favorite shirt there (blue striped Armani Jeans button up i’m wearing in the pic above) I tell anyone who needs something formal but with some spirit/attitude, go browse the racks at Ebreo. Perfect for well priced suits with a cool selection of shirting, outerwear and shoes too. It’s in Williamsburg on Grand St. sandwiched between Dolls Kill and Supreme (lol) and it is run by Julian Colucci. He is one of the most natural and gifted hosts and shopkeepers I know and he is also a licensed and practicing therapist. He specializes in Italian menswear and sources from all over the place. The last couple times I ran into him there, he was coming back from Florida or Italy.
I think he’s also got an espresso machine rocking in the back.
So much more I could say about this place, but just go over there if you’re in New York!

If you have some disposable income, or something to celebrate, or, like me, you enjoy spending money on good food, Rezdora at 27 East 20th Street in Manhattan is a must. It received Three Stars from The New York Times and was opened by Chef Stefano Secchi. Perhaps his name isn’t familiar but if you’ve watched Chef’s Table (count that as another massive recommendation from me), episode one features Massimo Battura and his world renowned restaurant, Osteria Francescana--of which Secchi is an alum. Dishes you can’t miss: Gnocco Fritto, Anolini di Parma and “Cow Grazing in Emilia Romagna.” Save room for the Tiramisu or Torta d’Oliva.

While Land of Talk, the project of singer and guitarist Elizabeth Powell, has not made a bad song, 2010’s Cloak and Cipher is my favorite album from their catalogue. I’ve found that the coolest bands defy genre conventions and that’s true in Land of Talk’s case. Is it Indie Rock? Is it Emo? Who gives a shit. Quarry Hymns is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard and I listen to a lot of music. They’re also flawless live.

Eric Weinstein might be the smartest person with a podcast. I’m really not a podcast person (too many people think their voices need to be heard) but the sheer range of topics he can cover with authority is out of control. He’s a polymath in the truest sense. Guests include Werner Herzog, Bret Easton Ellis, Andrew Yang, Ashley Matthews (aka pornstar Riley Reid), Kai Lenny, Sir Roger Penrose… the list goes on. My favorites are #17 with Anna Khachiyan of Red Scare and #27 with Daniel Schmachtenberger, a “neurohacker” you’ve certainly never heard of but trust me here.
