Welcome back! And yes...I’m officially back from a much-needed break. :)

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been very much IRL: celebrating my 25th birthday (more on that soon), soaking up as much sunshine as possible, meditating with plates... (yes, evidence above), and, perhaps most importantly, touching some much-needed grass.

With only a few weeks of summer left, I couldn’t come back without sharing a few of my favorite spaces, exhibitions, and places I’ve stumbled upon recently. Whether you’re looking for a weekend plan or simply an excuse to wander the city, consider this your summer to-do list!

In Review: Rivian’s PowerHouse Week!

This past week, Rivian’s NYC flagship space turned into The Performance House—a week-long experiential hub co-crafted with alpine skiing legend Mikaela Shiffrin!!

Hosting many events, from workouts with Lifetime Coaches, panel discussions, and even a live podcast taping, here are a few programming highlights!!

  • A live recording of the What’s the Point? podcast, featuring a conversation between Mikaela Shiffrin and Rivian Founder & CEO RJ Scaringe. The evening concluded with a community reception featuring local bites from Aunts et Uncles and Van Leeuwen.

  • Author and ultra-endurance athlete Rich Roll hosts a live conversation with mindfulness and meditation teacher Manoj Dias, exploring the intersection of precision, high performance, and adventure.

Parke Avenue Armory : Clinamen by Celeste Boursier-Mougenot

June 10, 2026 - August 9, 2026

Park Avenue Armory

I had the pleasure of previewing one of the most awaited exhibitions in New York this summer. Celeste Boursier brings his iconic and largest musical installation to the Armory. Three basins filled with water supporting more than 800 different ceramic bowls, chosen for their unique float and timbre, The space offers a moment to take a break and be in the moments, more like a sound bath in my opinion.

If you visit, make sure you take some time and surround all three basins, relax, take a break or just sit and experience how unique an sacred the encounter is. You can purchase your tickets below.

Thank you so much to the Park Avenue Armory for the space and time to preview!

AUTOPHOTO presents: On the Record

On the record @Autophotonyc

One of my favorite spots in the city, especially now that the photobooth renaissance is in full swing, is Autophoto!!

Located on the Lower East Side, Autophoto is part photobooth museum, part gallery, and home to a collection of restored booths dating back to the 1960s and beyond. If you’re a sucker for a good photo strip like I am, this is the place to go.

This month they invited me to preview their newest addition, a rare recording booth that lets you record a two-minute audio message before pressing it onto a tiny vinyl record to keep forever. Such a special concept, and I have to admit I spent way longer than expected deciding what I wanted to leave on the record. No pun intended.

If you’re looking for something a little different to do this weekend, add this one to your list.

212 Orchard st. - Open every Tuesday-Sunday from 12-10pm ( Free Admission)

Moma PS1 Warm UP
MoMA PS1’s annual summer party is back, and it’s one event you don’t want to miss. I had the chance to go last year and can confidently say it was one of my favorite nights of the summer!

Expect DJs, street food vendors, art installations, and the kind of energy that reminds you why New York summers are so special. If you go, make sure to arrive early so you have time to wander the galleries and experience James Turrell’s Meeting, one of the city’s longest-running light installations. It’s worth every second!

Whether you’re there for the art, the music, or just a great summer evening, this one’s always a good time.

Tickets here!

Now, an exclusive look at your new favorite sanctuary…

A Spaces and Places first look at Marshlands, your new favorite contrast therapy bathhouse and social club is coming to DUMBO, Brooklyn in 2027. Designed as a sanctuary for the nervous system, Marshlands brings together hot & cold contrast therapy, IV drips, hyperbaric oxygen, red light therapy, and beautifully designed spaces to gather, work, linger over coffee, or share a glass of wine.

More than a place to recover, it’s a place to reconnect with yourself and with the people around you.
Marshlands has just opened its founding waitlist and is inviting the first members to follow the journey, receive early access, and learn about exclusive founding membership opportunities before they become
