Goop told me that this is the place to go for some design inspo. Unique and afordable this Williamsburg boutique is filled with beautiful finds that will transform your home. 

After you look at beuatiful textiles, head to this boutique for clean, unique clothes. 

After an afternoon of shopping head to a restaurant so good I wrote a college essay about it. Marlow doesn't take reservations so walk in early. 

A tiny gem in the East Village, Kyo Ya is an authentic Japanese restaurant that always impresses. Order the fresh tasmanian trout pressed sushi followed by the chawanmushi and seasonal rice bowl. 

For those with an extra large sweet tooth, skip dessert at Kyo Ya and head to the famous Butter Lane for cupcakes with flavors like peach vanilla and strawberry banana. 

End your night with a cocktail at the always cool PDT. 

Take the scenic ferry to the Brooklyn Bride Park (Dumbo stop)

Drink a Vida de Mole. 

Snag a table outside and don't leave until close. 

Take in the Manhattan skyline on a ferry ride to the Brooklyn Bridge Park (Dumbo stop).

Feel the breeze as you walk through the always improving Brooklyn Bridge park. If you're up for a pre-dinner snack sip on a Cucumber Lizzmonade or sample ice cream from Ample Hills creamery.

Nothing beats eating an Italian dinner in the Frankie's Garden. Order a bottle of Lambrusco, eggplant parmesean and spring pea crostini as you take in the night sky. Note: for large parties there is a set menu. 

Touted by the New York Times as having the best Irish Coffee "in the known world." This Red Hook bar offers spot on cocktails in a quriky and fun environement. 

This boutique spa nestled in the chic Surrey hotel is UES gem. Small and personal the therapsists at the Surrey customize any service. The papaya enzyme facial left me leaving like a new (and very glowly) woman. 

Cornelia is the best, but they don't have showers! If leaving Jasmine oil in your hair for the night is not an option take the short walk to the Fekkai Salon at the mark for a blow out. 

I know, I know you were already missing the Surrey. Head back to the hotel to grab an al fresco bite at chef Daniel Boulud's Cafe Boulud. Sit outside and order a last caress cocktail as you people watch into the night.
