Erie Basin
Nothing beats a trip down to Red Hook Brooklyn on an almost-spring type of day. After brunching at Hope & Anchor, Key Lime Pie-ing it at Steve’s Authentic and grabbing a brew at Ice House, I came across Erie Basin, the best curiosities shop that side of the BQE. Great antique and unique jewelry, furniture and folk art, the highly curated collection lives up to the name and deserves a trip back. A gem within a gem of a neighborhood.

The lust for travel is a universal yearning – but I think it’s particularly magnified for the New Yorker, stuck right in the middle of the most traveled-to city, but hardly able to break away from the grind that is New York living. The smart people over at wejetset feel the same way – but they actually get on the plane. Travel eye-candy and the accessories to do it in style. Check out their new City Notes feature too.

Breathe Inn
When Winter hits NYC, I often think how nice it would be to have a little house somewhere just to get away. Breathe Inn seems like the next best thing – it’s like going to your fabulously stylish friend’s house in the country + room service and no hostess gift required. Interestingly enough, it was started by the original (although no longer involved with the company) founder of Triple 5 Soul. Inspiring.
