5. Try a New Spot
Be the first to snag a table at chef Angie Mar’s latest Greenwich Village “it” restaurant, Les Trois Chevaux. Labeled an “ode to the great French restaurants of eras past,” Mar has gone out of her way to create a chic dining experience. The space features art by Picasso and Banksy, and is filled with floral arrangements by Raul Avila, the florist and event designer for the Met Gala. She even tapped Christian Siriano to design the staff’s uniforms.
FYI, there’s a jackets only policy for men. But don’t fret if you forget yours at home — Mar has a closet full of vintage YSL jackets guests can borrow.
