New York, New York!

Hello friend,

New York City during the holidays is magical. The tree, the lights, the storefront displays, it all gets you in the mood. It’s why so many people choose to visit during the month of December. We love The Big Apple as much as you do, so we curated some things to do, places to eat and of course, shop, all from women-founded brands and restaurants. You may want to file this issue away for your next trip. 

We feature a hatmaker who honours the traditions of millinery to create the highest quality headpieces; Tonia recommends five women-owned restaurants that you will want to book ASAP; We are chomping at the bit to try a beauty experience unlike any other; We share a New York workout you can do at home; And we introduce you to the Canadian who changed the way New Yorkers experience bookstores. 

If you know someone who would appreciate the stories we tell, we deeply appreciate your referrals. Kindly copy your unique referral code below and paste it into an email, text or social post and invite them to subscribe. Together, our support of women-owned brands enables them to thrive! 

Enjoy!

We tip our hat to this New York designer who handcrafts stylish hats of the highest quality using techniques from the golden era of millinery.

This loft space in Soho isn’t your average cosmetics counter. It’s an experiential skincare and makeup playground. How does it begin? You wash your face.

Restaurant recos for your next visit to New York? Yes please! Tonia has five women-owned hot spots for you to book now.

It’s yoga, meditation and aerobics, all wrapped up in one workout. Oh, did we mention there’s a little therapy thrown in for good measure?

Books to the rafters. This iconic New York bookstore is a must-visit. It happens to be owned by a Canadian woman.

Watch this space for five quick things to make your life a little richer.

In keeping with our theme here’s a tip for all you Swifties (or moms of one). Enjoy the shops of West Village and stroll down Cornelia Street (if you know, you know) and then grab a bagel at the cosy Bagel Pub, it was Tonia’s favourite part of her last trip to NYC.

Part of the fun of exploring New York at this time of the year, are the storefront holiday displays. Which do you like better? Tiffany? or Saks?

New York at Christmas sets the backdrop for the sweet 2001 movie Serendipity where Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack are the cutest!

Whether or not you’re a fan of egg nog, everyone will love this gorgeous Egg Nog Cheesecake from Flouring Kitchen. We’ll be making this one for sure!

The official kick off to the holiday season in New York is the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center. Here’s everything you need to know.
