Coconut water, kombucha, or a bottle of bubbles are always a nice touch. Cremant D’alsace, Blanc de blancs, and Pet Nat are favorites, but I love to try new things. I’m a fan of natural wine, and tend to enjoy anything that’s not red (it makes me sleepy).

Cut fruit, beautiful sweets, caviar and chips, or your favorite treat are all great calls if you’d like something to snack on while we’re together.

If you’re the type to bring along small tokens of affection (yay!), showing up with fun things from the dispensary, books of contemporary poetry, and beautiful candles will always make my day. Gift cards to your favorite bookstore are also welcomed.

Like all courtesans throughout history, I have a weakness for jewelry, and the men who adorn me with it. Pieces by Kinn Studio and Communion by Joy are some of my favorite fine selections. I also love Laura Lombardi for everyday wear. I tend to wear gold, am a fan of freshwater pearls, and find myself drawn towards small designers with unique aesthetics.

A directive to treat myself to a new outfit for date night, or just for fun, is always a sweet surprise. Send me to Bloomingdales, & Other Stories, or Aritzia please.

Dress me in lace and lingerie, and you’ll have a gift ready to unwrap— a true win-win! Azaleas and Fleur du Mal are my favorite New York shops, and gifting me a new Bordelle set will easily put you on my VIP list. Sizing can vary so it’s best I go in and try things on myself… please keep in mind that quality sets tend to start at the 300 mark.

A day of relaxation at the spa is one of the loveliest treats around. I’ll be at my best after a massage and body scrub at the Mandarin Oriental or Shibui Spa at the Greenwich Hotel. There are so many wonderful spas in the city I’m keen to try-- feel free also to simply send me to one you really love.

For a practical gift I can use immediately, Uber and Delta gift cards are always helpful.

Dine: I’m always happy to suggest places I love, and there are so many spots I’m curious to try-- New York City’s restaurant scene is endless and constantly evolving. If you can get us a spot at Tatiana, I’ll definitely be impressed. I’d also love to cozy up at Le Rock, experience the Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, or finally cross Dhamaka off my list. Let’s do omakase at Yoshino, Icca, Bar Miller, or your secret favorite. And nightcaps at Nubeluz atop the Ritz, The Bar at Baccarat Hotel, or the Chelsea Hotel are always a good idea. When it comes to moving beyond the city limits, Blue Hill at Stone Barns is a trip I’m dying to make… I’d love to experience it together.

Escape: There’s nothing like a change of scenery to make you feel alive. New Orleans is one of my favorite places to get away, and I’d love to soak in its amazing energy alongside you. I’ve never been to Nashville, but am curious to check it out, and have dinner at Rolf and Daughters while we’re at it. Also, let it be known that I’m a former California girl, and always happy to join you there, from the Bay to LA, wine country, and beyond.

If you need a globetrotting partner, I’m passport ready and would love to accompany you! I’ve been all over Europe and have a long list of cities I’d return to in a heartbeat, with Paris and Barcelona at the top, and Ireland, where I’ve never been, a source of serious curiosity. Tokyo is a dream destination I’ve yet to experience; Chiang Mai, Thailand is a place I could easily spend a few weeks; and of course, I’m a sucker for a beautiful beach anywhere. I also feel a bit of responsibility to get to know Canada better—we are neighbors, after all. Help me explore?
