I just got back from my bi-annual trip to the NYGIF and am so excited for all the new products to arrive at the store! The NYGIF is where I find some of the Home Market’s best merchandise and I am always energized when I return from not only the show but New York itself. Walking through the hundreds of aisles can be overwhelming and inspiring at the same time – there were vendors from all over the world with many amazing products. I picked up some fabulous new lines as well as new items from some of my favorite vendors all of which are inspired by natural aesthetics.
Outside of the NYGIF, I always try to find a new and exciting restaurant while in New York. My favorite new place was Locanda Verde, Robert DeNiro’s rustic Italian eatery at the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca. Of course, my New York trip would not be complete without a stop to one of my favorite places -- The Spotted Pig in the West Village.
