Get Centered with FREE Siddha Yoga and Meditation Sessions in Chelsea

Siddha yoga: kinda culty, totally awesome.  I was first introduced to NYC’s Siddha Yoga and Meditation Center when my boyfriend told me to stop being a psycho bitch, and get a little inner peace in my life (okay, he may have used less-harsh terminology to describe my rage-filled state, but

Happy Hour at the Half King

The Half King is my usual meet-up of choice with visiting out-of-towners, since it’s classy (impress them with your New York-ness!), right in front of steps leading up to the Highline (take a walk afterwards!), and they have a banging happy hour (don’t spend too much money entertaining them!).

Nick Cave’s Soundsuits on Display at Mary Boone Gallery in Chelsea

Can’t get into any fashion week shows? Well, check out some wearable creations that are probably way more innovative than anything you’ll see at Lincoln Center this week.
