Zabar’s is located at 79th Street and Broadway.

Preparing for Passover?

Uptown, you may be visiting Zabar’s, downtown – you’ll want to visit Russ & Daughters. From out of town – place your order today.

Stay Warm Stylishly

Whether or not you’ll be free to frolick in the snow, you can stay warm stylishly this week with a snappy jacket from Burton’s.

Burton’s is located at 106 Spring Street in Soho.

Shopping Solution for a Rainy Day

If you’d planned to enjoy today’s spring temperature by strolling up and down 5th Avenue – think again.  Though there is a mall in town – even with the rain – we can’t recommend it. (Though the Time Warner Center’s 3rd floor offers the best views of the Macy’s Day Parade – we reserve recommending it for that event only.)  For a dry day of shopping,  dining or touring, head to Grand Central.

Grand Central offers a great selection of holiday shops, gourmet stores, The Oyster Bar — great lunch, even better martini, and the building itself is quite a gem.

The weather outside…

was fritghtful yesterday, but we are moving in the right direction

In fact tomorrow should be delightful. In the meantime, if spending time indoors is more comfortable, enjoy the winter wonderland at Saks – where its a sunny 70 ~ with a matching 70% off.

Saks is located at Fifth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets opposite Rockefeller Center.

Back to work,…

If your work this week entails finding holiday gifts for clients and associates, may we suggest Manhattan Fruitier?

Beautifully presented fruits, nuts, chocolates and cheeses in a variety of sizes and prices, make excellent gifts.
