Here's one of my favorite outfits from my visit to New York last October 2014. I always make it a point to visit during the fall -- spending time in both Manhattan and Upstate. We stayed at the Mondrian for 2 nights, headed up to Westchester for the weekend, and returned back to Soho for 3 nights at The Mercer Hotel.

Food recommendations: Brunch at Jack's Wife Frieda and Dudley's, Lunch at ABC Kitchen and (The Mercer) Kitchen, and dinner at Isola Trattoria and Lure Fish Bar.
