Words: Holly
With the temperatures in New York continuing to hit sub zero it’s time to put on a warm coat and forget all about it, as instead we take a look at 5 things that every gentleman in New York should be doing right now…
1. HAVE A TRADITIONAL SHAVE AT: THE ART OF SHAVING, , From a ‘traditional shave’ to a ‘haircut and royal shave’, every true gentleman knows that this is the place to be groomed to perfection this month. With 7 destinations to choose from across the city, the only thing you’ll have to worry about is just which service you’re going to go for.
2. DRINK (AND PLAY) AT: THE NEW PING PONG BAR – SPIN, , Ping-pong and drinking? What could be more fun! This new wave of bar experience has been popping up all over the world and the latest one to hit New York is set to be one of the best yet. Open all day and until the early hours of the morning, they are fusing 17 ping-pong courts, a full bar, restaurant, pro-shop and private VIP room to bring you one hell of a party.
3. GO AND SEE: CAPTAIN LINNAEUS TRIPE AT THE MET, , This stunning and highly anticipated exhibition of around sixty photographs traces Tripe’s work from his earliest images made in England (1852–1854), to those created on expeditions to the south Indian kingdom of Mysore (1854), to Burma (1855), and again to south India (1857–1858). The comprehensive scope of his work offers the audience a virtual tour through a foreign landscape, rendering it knowable and preserving sites already bearing traces of colonial rule.
4. SHOP AT: J PRESS, YORK STREET, , For a much needed dose of preppy staples with updated modern cuts head to J Press and see for yourself why all the best dressed gentlemen in New York are shopping here. Choose from an eclectic but selective option of old-school styles and modern stand-out pieces; perfect for updating your spring wardrobe.
5. HAVE A NIGHT OUT AT: HAPPY ENDINGS, , This is the latest spot for trend-seekers and those looking to find the newest bar on the radar. With great music downstairs, delicious food upstairs (think: fois gras and mussels), and friendly fun-loving staff you’re sure to have a wonderful night out here, but be warned, due to it’s popularity it gets seriously busy so get down early to ensure you get in.
