Artsy Things

Now, what to do on your girls weekend to NYC?
See what is happening in the art world now and pop your head into a few art galleries in Chelsea. Perhaps you’ll catch an opening, sip on some champagne and meet some of the artists. Check out a list of upcoming shows and get the latest on what's new on Art Net online.  
Kill two birds with one stone and pick up a few treasures at the Brooklyn Flea Market. It’s more than worth the trek out to Brooklyn.


pick up some hip walking shoes...
  

or a little bling for a night out...


I grabbed several of these, one can never have too many scarves...


Before dinner, experience some female bonding and go to a Burlesque Dancing class hosted by the NY School of Burlesque (make reservations in advance). I recommend the twirler class, my girls and I have gone several times. You will seriously laugh for an hour straight, have a great time with your girlfriends, and break out of your comfort zone. No need to be shy here, by the end of the class you will be twirling like a pro. Afterwards, pick up a pair of pasties from a vendor on etsy.com to practice your new moves at home!



after class
After exploring Chelsea and the Brooklyn Flea Market, then having some dance lessons, you will be in dire need of a fabulous place to sit back, relax, and stuff your face. Next posting I'll suggest where to eat and drink your way through the city...

Tassels and Tapas: NY, NY a weekend get-away with your besties

New York, New York has so much to offer: uptown, downtown, Central Park, Wall Street, world renowned museums, galleries, shopping galore and more restaurants, bars, and bakeries than one can possibly try in a lifetime. It is always difficult planning a trip here, especially with limited time, as one always seems to miss something. I suggest choosing a focused itinerary and allowing yourself time to walk around and take in the streets. Because it is in the street where the magic happens anyways.

For this weekend trip, go with the girls and cause some trouble!
