We visited an upscale piano retailer this morning and a wonderful salesman allowed us into the back room to play the 9’+ Bosendorfer Imperial, Blunther, and Steingraber grand pianos. Out of all of them, both Aaron and my favorite was the Model 225 Bosendorfer, which is around 7.5 feet. I think I’d want it in the…
After the Top of the Rock tour, I ran down to Bergdorf Goodman and bought four Charvet ties. I’m crazy about them. They are beautiful. One of these days, I can’t wait to make my way to Paris and order bespoke Charvet shirts, which are considered to be the best in the world along with…
After leaving the Brooks Brothers flagship store and returning to the hotel, we headed to the NBC studio tour in Rockefeller Center and saw the sets for Saturday Night Live and other shows. Then, we did the Top of the Rock observation deck, which allowed us to go to the top of Rockefeller Center and…
We made it to the flagship Brooks Brothers store on Madison Avenue in New York City this afternoon. I forgot to take pictures throughout the excursion so there are no grand images of the expansive first floor where legend has it that J.P. Morgan and other tycoons purchased their clothes. Sorry. My brother sent me…
After leaving the Ralph Lauren flagship store, we were exhausted. We had been walking almost non-stop since arriving a few days ago, yet I had woken up this morning and walked around by myself for .6 miles, then we took a cab up to meet Erika for lunch, from where we walked 1 mile along…
We finally made it up to the Ralph Lauren flagship stores on Madison Avenue, and upon entering the men’s store, I was instantly thrilled. The millwork is flawless. The pictures don’t do it justice. The merchandisers and designers at Ralph Lauren should be incredibly proud of what they’ve done with this space. Later, after quite…
We passed the Creed boutique on Madison Avenue, which is the only official company store in North America. It was great experience, especially since I own 17 or 18 bottles (at least) of the company’s products due to our Creed addiction and passion. I loved the store. I think I’m going to end up ordering…
We serendipitously passed the Bond No. 9 perfume house boutique store on Madison Avenue on our way up to the Ralph Lauren mansion to look at wallcoverings for my mom’s home renovation project. Bond No. 9 is one of the other fragrances houses we like to collect besides Creed, although our wardrobes just now began…
We headed to Carmine’s Italian restaurant in New York City’s theater district after seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway. Both Aaron and I have eaten there a few times but my mom wanted to try it after several of her friends back in Kansas City recommended it. We ordered dessert to go, grabbed a cab back…
A Broadway show and dinner was how we elected to spend our evening; more specifically, seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway and then heading up to Carmine’s Italian restaurant, near Times Square. [mainbodyad]All three of us loved the show. It would be perfect if you had kids and wanted to introduce them to the world of…
