The Plaza Shops
Afternoon // The Plaza Shops
Just because you’re not staying at the fabled Plaza Hotel doesn’t mean you can’t shop there. The Plaza’s swanky collection of high-end boutiques includes the likes of Ghurka, a Caudalie wine therapy spa, jeweler Good Fortune Ten Thousand Things, Assouline Books and even an authentic Viennese bakery.

Morning // The Metropolitan Museum of Art
When it comes to culture, the Met is still a titan. Check out the new exhibit of paintings, “American Stories: Paintings of Everyday Life, 1765-1915.” Or do a little time travel via the New Greek and Roman galleries.
