While you’re waiting for that summer invite to the Hamptons, file away our guide to what’s hot in NYC right now.
SAVOR
Slip off your shoes and into the pretty slippers provided at HanGawi, a fave of Gwyneth and Stella, who sit on the floor for the vegetarian Korean fare.
Sign up for A Razor, A Shiny Knife emails to get the dish on an underground supper club conceived by a renegade foodie.
SIP
Scan the tequila lining the shelves at Barrio Chino, a Lower East Side hideaway, then opt for a grapefruit margarita with cactus tacos.
Hotties serve the coffee at Saturdays Surf, a Soho surf shop where the people-watching on the patio is almost as good as the brew.
SEE
Club music-meets-theater at Fuerza Bruta, an offbeat experience. Celebs join regular folks to gawk at the hour-long show that unfolds overhead with wild visual effects and a techno beat.
Drool over home decor and one-of-a-kind objects at the gallery-pretty de Vera.
Arrive early to the Met’s wildly popular tribute to Alexander McQueen. Gape at leather masks with zippered mouths from his runway shows and other-worldly video footage of Kate Moss, then stop for city views from the rooftop garden.
In the city? Toast San Antonio native Mia Baxter, a rising-star photographer whose images will be shown alongside the work of Lucy Liu, Lauren Bush and Alyssa Milano. They’ve all captured images from UNICEF trips around the world, and the benefit party takes place next Wednesday, June 15th, from 6:30 – 9 p.m.
