The Met is truly a must see for anyone visiting New York City.
The Monet collection and the Egyptian exhibit are not to be missed. One could easily spend more than two days at the Met - the building is huge. Do not allocate less than a day for it - there is just so much to see. The admission fee is just the amount they suggest. You can pay what you want to get in.

I've become a frequent flier at the SoHo location. I've had 5 piercings done, from ear piercings, to a navel piercing to a dermal anchor. Over the years, I've returned to have my piercings fixed, changed out, or just to have questions answered. The staff was always knowledgeable, patient, and professional, no matter how old the piercing was. The process was always sterile, even if they're just fixing something (and not just when piercing). The selection of jewelry is vast and any piece in the store would make for a classy addition.
Pros: Professional, sterile, great customer service
Cons: none

In celebration of its Fifth Anniversary, uptown swank gets a retro resurgence as Alison Nelson unveils Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel on Monday, 21 May 2007. Towering above the bustling streets of New York's fashion Mecca and situated on the 3rd floor atrium of Henri Bendel located at 712 Fifth Avenue between 55th and 56th Street, this sleek new dining destination incorporates the best of fashion, art, style and food into a rich atmosphere that is fresh and inviting, playful and serene, eclectic and chic. Crafted with a nod to the ever-changing caprices of fashion and the inventiveness of the woman who dons the latest trends but mixes them up with flair, Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel adds mischief to manners with its modern take on high-society savoir faire. If it’s time to introduce a new location to your cultural repertoire, look no further than the artfully curated interior and equally enticing menu at Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel.
CHOCOLATE BAR AT HENRI BENDEL
Welcome to Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel, a devilishly sophisticated playground, where mod counters and open café seating seem to float within the café’s airy quarters, where the staff is exclusively and fashionably attired in a chic, cap sleeve mini dress by one of Bendel’s favorite designers, Stacey Bendet for Alice + Olivia. Feminine yet eclectic design elements, including creamy leather couches, eye-catching graphics and smooth modernist lighting, combine fluidly to add texture to the surroundings and usher in the next generation of cosmopolitan luxe. Despite the refreshingly modern feel, still a hint of nostalgia embeds itself within the retro-reconfigured furnishings that add vibrancy to timeless style. “Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel is a contemporary take on a social salon, where our Bendel girl can have a quick coffee or a leisurely meal,” states Ed Bucciarelli, CEO and President of Henri Bendel. “The café offers a new spin on classic New York fare with its own line of savory selections, chocolate sandwiches, gourmet soups and mixed greens—including a revamped return of the legendary Bendel’s Salad.” The café also serves a fine assortment of Chocolate Bar’s award-winning truffles, baked goods, and confections alongside a selection of imported wine and champagne. An array of coffee and tea offerings will also be available, including Ma Rose 1927, a unique green tea blend exclusive to Bendel’s that contains hints of rose petal, a nostalgic nod to Mr. Bendel’s preferred flower and one time signature perfume. Enter a world of irresistible influence and edgy refinement, where indulgence is only a teacup or designer dress away. For more information please visit www.chocolatebarnyc.com

I came here with my girlfriends one day, just so we would have something to do on a rainy day. Well, let me tell you this was the most fun I have had in a while. The staff was beyond friendly and accomidating, and they made us feel right at home. On top of it all I walked away with a beautiful mug that I get to drink my coffee out of every morning. This is a great place to come if you're in need for a gift, or you just want to have a good time with your friends. Don't be fooled this isn't just for kids, this place is for people of all ages!!! I can't wait to go back.
Pros: amazing experience, incredibly helpful staff

Kate's Paperie has it all when it comes to the niche that it conquered. You can sit down with one of the staff and order stationary or announcements to be printed that will be impressive. There are collections of photo albums, fountain pens, blank greeting cards, blank stationary and the best wrapping paper anywhere. They even have lenticular screen plastics, you know the stuff that has a picture that changes like eyes blinking.
Check out the website for more information.

This place has everything you can think of related to paper and the arts. Not cheesy like Michael's, but high-end paper and stationery. Love their greeting cards and workshop-like environment, and everything seems so nicely presented, too.

The best way to describe the Pleasure Chest would be Raunchy with style. Whatever your after hours tastes may run they will most likely have it. Great place to come for a girlfriends bachelorette party or to throw a little variety into your relationship. Go wild in here one day and pick up a bunch of goodies.
