Neighborhood you work & live in: Upper West Side
It’s Tuesday morning. What’s the scene at your workplace?
I either work from home on the UWS or out of an office on the UES. Often, I’m having networking coffees in the morning with press (as a publicist) or with fellow founders (as Founder & CEO of Doubles Social).
Doubles Social is a digital members club and app that connects like-minded couples with each other, schedules double dates, and plans couples events to expand their social circles and have fun doing it. I’m also the founder and CEO of Electrify PR, an eight-year-old public relations firm representing both startups and large, corporate brands across industries including wellness, beauty, fashion, travel, creator economy, and home furnishings.
What’s on the agenda for today?
At Doubles Social, we’re in full event-planning mode, gearing up for our upcoming sommelier-guided wine & cheese tasting event at CARTA Wine Bar in the West Village tomorrow night. On the Electrify PR side, we’re pitching clients’ holiday gift guide offerings, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and more.
Any restaurant plans today, tonight, this weekend?
Four restaurants I’ve recently enjoyed on the Upper West Side:
Twin Tails: Buzzy, sleek Southeast Asian restaurant in Shops at Columbus Circle for shaking beef, scallion glass noodles, and lychee martinis.
Sushi Lin: Omakase go-to with seafood sourced from Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market, plus caviar and truffle.
Canto: Delicious pastas and espresso martinis, perfect for a double date or girls’ night out.
Sushi Yasaka: Classic, no-frills, and consistently high quality. I love their mini omakase.
What’s a recent big-ticket purchase you love?
I tend to save my big-ticket purchases for trips and experiences, but when it comes to fashion and accessories, I am always wearing my Minor History True Crossbody, FRAME jeans, Rag & Bone Flats, and On Slip Ons. Since I grew up on the UES near Bloomingdale’s, I’m also a sucker for their cashmere selection.
What NYC store or service do you love to recommend?
I love Symbelle Beauty (formerly Nail Niobe) for manicures, pedicures, and waxing. I’ve been going there since I was a kid! The attention to detail and nail polish color selection is excellent. I’m also a regular at Eddie Arthur Salon for hair.
