city that never sleeps.

a stop at the sleek NYC

shop
We squealed with delight upon discovering
vintage-inspired dresses (from $178) at James
Coviello. This girlie boutique on the LES carries soft floral
numbers that hint at a time when swingy skirts and hourglass figures
were the very definition of subtle sex bomb. 70 Orchard St., New York
City, 212-695-0842, www.jamescoviello.com
sleep
The four-poster beds are divine but you wont
want to sleep at the new Gansevoort
Park Avenue. More midtown chic than its Meatpacking sister, it has
six bars, a heated roof top pool and spacious rooms with step-out
balconies. Order cocktails and nibbles from your assigned iPod GPS and
staff will track you down on any floor. And for trips around town, dial
up the hotels chauffeur-driven Porsche Panamera. How 21st century. Rooms
from $325, 420 Park Avenue S., New York City, 877-830-9889, www.gansevoortpark.com
eat
We love Sachikos
On Clinton for traditional Kushiage made from crisp, panko-breaded
beef, chicken or veggies served on skewers ($24/10). Sit in the back
garden or in view of the restaurants striking David Hockney collage. If
youre lucky, Sachiko herself might bring out a bottle of sparkling Nama
Sake from behind the bar. 25 Clinton St., New York City, 212-253-2900, www.sachikosonclinton.com
