THE BEST PLACES TO VISIT DURING A WEEKEND IN NYC
twice a year our teams visit new york city for bridal market. while most of this trip is a whirlwind of intimate collection viewings, iconic fashion shows, and playful bridal pop-ups, you can bet we still manage to carve out slivers of off-the-clock fun! this blog is a look into what we were up to when we weren’t soaking in all the bridal fashion and wedding trends.
the best italian restaurant in new york city
you may see celeb sightings at carbone or rao’s, but if you’re looking for a chill italian restaurant in new york city that’s delicious, definitely add la pecora bianca to your list! at the start of the meal, we ordered several whipped ricotta dishes to share. plated with freshly baked bread and truffle honey in the center, this was definitely the appetizer we needed after a long day of fashion appointments!
best ice cream in nyc
as a bridal brand with locations nationwide, we have a deep appreciation for brick and mortar storefronts throughout the united states. we also really respect brands that value their community and are committed to social causes! that’s why we selected the next spot to rank as our best ice cream in nyc pick. well, that and we just really love their creative take on dessert.
popping into milk bar in new york city, we enjoyed a brief ice cream snack before heading into our next meeting!
top new york city hotel
we’ve been in the bridal industry for over 17+ years (when you count our cumulative experience with our sister-shop anna bé bridal boutique). over this time we’ve stayed at countless hotels in new york city. we can confidently say that virgin hotels new york city was a wonderful stay!
not only did the hotel’s aesthetic speak to our values of design and fun, but it also was a great central location for the many visits we needed to make on this market trip. if you’re planning a trip to new york city and would like to stay at one of the top nyc hotels, stay here.
