Or, more likely, you weren’t dressed up at all. But that was then, and this is now—and looking ahead to June, the cultural calendar is quickly filling up with openings and exhibitions. In New York, Thomas Heatherwick’s long-awaited Little Island has opened like a not-so-secret garden floating above the Hudson River. Out on Long Island at Pace Gallery’s outpost in East Hampton, there’s the David Hockney show “Ma Normandie,” which presents delightful watercolors and depictions of the artist’s home in France.In California, Dior delivers a toile-heavy pop-up shop at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, or, as it’s currently been rebranded, the Dioriviera. The summer-long installation is filled with all the things a Dior-lover needs to live the good life. Meanwhile, in Miami, Fendi opens a logo-laden cafe in the city’s Design District. And Jackson Hole sees a new hotel opening right in the middle of town, perfectly timed for all those Yellowstone-trippers.Should you be near any of these happenings, we’ve gone ahead and suggested just a few things you might consider wearing to each. Because, why not wear an original Hockney sweater (more on that below) when you’re in the presence of his work?Boston isn’t usually at the top of people’s vacation bucket list. Yes, the harbor is lovely, there’s centuries of American history to uncover, and Fenway Park is a must-see for baseball fans. But compared to other U.S. cities, Beantown is a bit less flashy, making it off the radar for some. And until recently, the city’s hotel inventory left a bit to be desired.But with the recent unveiling of The Newbury Boston, that’s all about to change. At the iconic address of 1 Newbury Street—Boston’s version of Madison Avenue—it’s across the street from Chanel and Cartier on one side, while the entrance to Boston’s gorgeously manicured Public Garden glitters on the Arlington Street side. Aside from designer shops, Newbury Street is home to art galleries, ice cream parlors like local favorite J.P. Licks, and al fresco cafes. A few blocks away are some of Boston’s toniest Victorian brownstone addresses, nestled among the leafy streets of Back Bay and Beacon Hill. You can also easily walk to the start of the historic Freedom Trail and the circa 1848 museum-like building of the Boston Public Library (BPL), or take a quick ride to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The narrow streets of Chinatown are quieter than usual. While memes float around about how nature has been “healing” in New York City, traffic has been slow to return to Chinatown, and slower still to restaurants. It’s a series of unfortunate events: first, as early as January and February 2020, mom-and-pop businesses, which make up the majority in Chinatown, saw a decline in business as locals began to shelter in place, a decline that was only exacerbated when lockdown orders were officially put into place in March. The Lower Manhattan workers and university students who relied on Chinatown meals vanished, as did tourists.“Chinatown was a ghost town,” says Grace Young, a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author who has become a voice for mom-and-pop Chinese restaurants around the country. “It looked like an empty Hollywood set of Chinatown. You wouldn’t even see three people on the sidewalk.”Next, outdoor dining began in New York City, but sidewalk space was limited in Chinatown, creating great competition among the many restaurants located on a single, tiny street. By fall, indoor dining was allowed at reduced capacity, but many restaurants, already small to begin with, could not earn enough from indoor diners to make up for what had been lost. As warmer weather and vaccine rollout led to a wave of optimism in New York generally, a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes caused locals to live in heightened caution, especially at night, during the very time business should be rebounding.The numbers speak for themselves. Golden Unicorn reported recently that it is still only earning 10 to 20 percent of its pre-pandemic revenues, starkly low compared to other restaurateurs outside of Chinatown who have said they are up to 80 percent or more of their pre-pandemic sales. The New York Times reported recently that at least 17 restaurants and 139 ground-floor stores in Chinatown have permanently closed. Recently, Jing Fong, previously the largest restaurant in Chinatown, made headlines when it announced it was closing its iconic dining room as a result of losing 85 percent of its sales year-over-year.“These older businesses are the heart and soul of Chinatown. They’ve been pillars of the community. So when we lose them, they’re irreplaceable. Right now, with the rise in anti-Asian hate crime, I think the best way to combat it is with love–love in the form of showing up to Chinatown,” says Young. “Chinatown cannot rebound on its own. We have to help Chinatown or nothing is going to happen. If these businesses continue to just scrape along, they have to close at a certain point. The ones that are remaining right now are warriors.”The Chinatown community, but also New York City as a whole, stands to lose a lot if businesses cannot afford to stay open. “These places hold our memories and connect us to each other and to the community,” says Young. So, they’re not just places to eat. For some of these places, the ones that I’m the most fearful of losing, they are actually our last connection to immigrant cooking, from generations before.”She adds that, due to an increase in delivery services and frozen aisle selections, hungry consumers are also “under the illusion” that they don’t have to physically go to Chinatown to enjoy its delicious dim sum. “But when you go [to Chinatown], you are actually experiencing a level of craftsmanship and dumpling that a frozen dumpling can’t even come close [to],” she argues. “Even a takeout dumpling won’t have the same experience.”So, for an authentic, delicious dumpling crawl experience, Young shares her tips on what to look for in the perfect dumpling, as well as her favorite local spots–which are all within walking distance of each other. Grab your friends, order extra for leftovers, and be sure to tip generously.For Young, the perfect dumpling must be handmade. “One of the reasons I love coming to Chinatown for dumplings is that it’s old school,” she explains. “My favorite places still make the dumplings by hand. This requires skilled labor, technique, and craftsmanship.”Shanghai 21 in Manhattan’s Chinatown reports that it hand-wraps 6 dumplings in a minute and 360 in an hour.“There are now machines that make dumplings and there’s no comparison. The taste and texture of a machine made dumpling is not the same,” she adds. “A machine-made dumpling will always have thicker wrappers. It is never delicate. In Chinatown, the dumplings I love are artisanal, made in the traditional way. They are works of art.”In fact, Young explains that dumplings were specifically crafted to be visually appealing thanks to the history of dim sum. Literally translated as “touch your heart,” dim sum originated with waitresses carrying trays of assorted dishes through the tea house, calling out the dish’s name for customers to request for their tables. This later evolved into waitstaff rolling carts around dim sum restaurants.“One of the whole ideas behind dim sum is that there are some things you may not even realize what you’re in the mood for until you see it. As opposed to going to any other restaurant, where you just are ordering from a menu,” explains Young. “Dim sum should be pleasing to the eye. It’s not only supposed to be delicious, but it’s supposed to awaken all of your senses–the aroma, the flavor, the taste, the texture, and then be pleasing to your eyes. Part of the experience of dumplings is to be seduced by the look.””When you look at the 3-star from Dim Sum Go Go, it gives you pause, and you’re just like, ‘wow,’” says Young.Now that you know what to look for in the perfect dumpling, bring your appetite for a tour of the wonderful eateries in Manhattan’s Chinatown, each of which possesses its own distinct specialties. Here, Young shares her favorite standout dumplings at each local haunt.Open for 26 years, Vegetarian Dim Sum House was the first vegetarian dim sum restaurant in Chinatown, according to its owner Frankie Chu.“The watercress dumplings at Vegetarian Dim Sum House are crazy good,” says Young, who notes they are made with watercress, mock ham and mushrooms for the filling and ha gao dough for the wrapping. “Make sure you use their house dipping sauce.”Young also recommends trying the spinach dumpling, snow pea leaves dumpling, and vegetarian mock shrimp dumplings.Locals have been coming to Mee Sum Cafe for siu mai for over 50 years, and the spot has a special place in Young’s heart. “When I eat certain things at Mee Sum, it reminds me of classic Cantonese dishes, and they are prepared exactly as they were in China. They haven’t been modernized at all.”“They’re plump, juicy with just the right combo of pork and shrimp. They’re the best,” Young says about the siu mai at Mee Sum Cafe.“We’re losing more and more of the old-timer Cantonese restaurants, and they speak to me of a way of life and a way of being that reminds me of old Chinatown,” says Young. “What I’m afraid of losing is really the old school Cantonese restaurants and stores because when they go, they will never be replicated. It’s like losing the Oyster Bar in Grand Central. There’s no restaurant that could come in and be anything like the Oyster Bar. They’re just iconic, old style restaurants and they’re from a certain era. Those cooks when we lose them, that way of cooking disappears for good. It will not come back. Right now we still have a few places that are like that in Chinatown, and we really need to preserve and protect them.”These sweet dumplings are simmered in water with julienned ginger and dried osmanthus flowers. “If you love mochi, you’ll love Mee Sum Cafe’s sticky rice dumplings,” says Young. “They’re filled with either a mixture of roasted ground peanuts and sugar or ground black sesame and sugar. They’re so good, I dare you to eat just one.”“The best way to judge a dim sum restaurant is by the quality of the shrimp dumplings because ha gao is the most popular dim sum item,” says Young. “And Ping’s ha gao is the ultimate.”Young notes that the best ha gao have translucent skin, so you can see the shrimp, with a crisp texture like glass. Traditionally, the best dim sum master chef makes 12 pleats to form a ha gao purse shape.“Ping’s is famous for their steamed crab seafood dumplings,” says Young. “It tastes as fabulous as it looks.”“The only restaurant that makes roast duck dumplings is Dim Sum Go Go and I love them with their homemade xo sauce,” says Young. The Michelin-rated restaurant says it handwraps 12,000 to 15,000 dumplings per week.“Dim Sum Go Go is known for their beautiful 3 star dumpling,” says Young. “It’s filled with jicama, lotus root and cabbage.”“Shanghai 21 was the first restaurant in Chinatown to serve black truffle soup dumplings,” says Young. “Let me tell you, they are to die for.”Chef Raymond Yip says that they only wrap the soup dumplings once the order is placed, since if a soup dumpling is wrapped too early, the dough can get wet which causes it to fall apart. He estimates that they wrap 6 dumplings in one minute–and 360 dumplings within one hour. Additionally, Yip notes that they use gelatin for the soup dumplings’ fillings, versus pigs skin or pig’s knuckle broth, in order to make it healthier.“I’m very picky. Most pot stickers aren’t brown enough, the dough is too thick, or some places use pre-made factory wrappers, and the filling is too dry,” says Young. “The Shanghai 21 pot stickers are amazing. They’re just the way I like them—crisp bottom, thin homemade dough with a filling that’s juicy.”“For over 30 years, Danny Chung has been serving Won Ton Noodle Soup at Great NY Noodletown,” says Young. “The wontons are ethereal, silky and my favorite fast food meal.” She adds that she calls it “fast food” because once ordered, it can be served in less than five minutes.View on InstagramOpen until 4 a.m., Great NY Noodletown is also a local favorite, with several celebrity fans. Momofuku’s David Chang has described his love for its ginger and scallion noodles, while Sarah Jessica Parker and Prabal Gurung (above) are among its Won Ton Soup enthusiasts.Plus, learn more about how to support New York City’s Chinatown community at Welcome to Chinatown, Asian Americans for Equality, Stop Asian Hate, and more. The Newbury Boston, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is housed in a Boston landmark building from 1927. It first opened its doors as the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and later became the Taj Boston. When hospitality management company Highgate took it over, they set out on a years-long renovation to transform it.Upping its cool quotient is partner Major Food Group—yes, that of white-hot restaurants Sadelle’s, Carbone, and The Grill—and airy rooms designed by Champalimaud Design, known for their luxurious contemporary residential interiors at properties like Raffles Singapore, The Carlyle in New York City, and The Little Nell in Aspen. The crown jewel of the Newbury is undoubtedly its sexy rooftop restaurant, set to open in late June.Walking in below the dramatic awning and through the revolving doors across from the park, a stunning black marble herringbone floor gleams below your feet, while a grand staircase twists up the left side. To your right is the entrance to the iconic Street Bar, a longtime local haunt reimagined by Major Food Group with menu items like Spicy Pink Lobster Chowder, deviled eggs, and a club sandwich with hand-carved turkey breast, bacon, fried egg, tomatoes, and dijonaise. The cocktail list includes sections labeled Shaken, Stirred, and Martinis (the latter bone dry and perfectly chilled). As our waiter put it, it’s the perfect place to sit and watch the theater of life go by—request a seat by the window to do just that. Hotel guests can head to private lounge, The Library, to relax by the fire with a book from a selection curated by the BPL.Upstairs, the hotel’s 286 rooms incorporate a neutral color palette that reflects an updated version of the tailored Bostonian aesthetic—this version is not stuffy, but still sophisticated. Handcrafted wood millwork, richly textured furnishings, marble accents, original artwork by Veronica Lawlor, and historic black and white photos from the BPL’s collection ensure a quiet luxury, along with plush amenities like exclusive Byredo bath products with a scent inspired by the Public Gardens, Frette robes, and a copy of Robert McCloskey’s beloved children’s book, Make Way for Ducklings, which takes place in the Public Gardens below. The hotel has 90 luxury suites (the most in all of Boston), including 42 with wood-burning fireplaces and two dramatic Presidential Suites, called The Mansion and The Corner House.We were the first guests to stay in The Mansion, an expansive 1,644-square-foot 15th-floor haven with panoramic park views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s all in the details here, like the show-stopping light fixture in the dining area; the side table near the L-shaped couch holding a glass box filled with snacks in the living room; and the rainforest shower, Toto toilet, double vanity, and deep soaking tub with a bamboo shelf with slots for reading material, as well as the provided pumice stones, brushes and swan-shaped gold and glass jar filled with premium bath salts in the marble bathroom suite. The bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace and cushy king-size Simmons Beautyrest Black mattress clothed in crisp Frette linens, with an extra-soft cashmere blanket on top for snuggling. There’s also a walk-in closet, butler’s pantry and bar, and powder room at the entrance.Contessa, the 4,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant, designed by Boston resident Ken Fulk, will open in late June with sweeping views of the Boston Commons and the city skyline from a glass wall and ceiling enclosure that will slide open on warm days. The jewel-toned marble gridded floor complements the blush and teal velvet banquettes and chairs, marble bar, and details like fringed arm lamps, potted trees, and a playful wallpaper in the Newbury Street entryway that leads to a restaurant-only elevator. An Italian-focused menu by chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi will include dishes like pork and veal meatballs in a creamy Dijon sauce, ricotta and mozzarella panzerotti with marinara sauce, and butternut squash carpaccio.On the second floor is the Newbury Salon, where afternoon tea will be reimagined by Major Food Group in a Jeffrey Beers International-designed room, which can also serve as a private event space. Starting in June or July, tea sandwiches and scones will be served on elegant Bernardaud service featuring playful images from Make Way for Ducklings.While there is no spa, there is a massive fitness center designed by The Wright Fit and its founder, celebrity trainer Jay Wright, with equipment like Peloton bikes, Life Fitness and Freemotion equipment, and TRX suspension trainers. Lockers and a variety of waters and drinks are available.All in all? It might be time to revise your bucket list and add this New England city to your summer travels after all.Last weekend, a lot was happening on the Hudson River. The Whitney Museum’s towering Day’s End permanent sculpture by David Hammons was debuted, and so too was Heatherwick Studio’s Little Island. The latter is a stilted garden just off the West Side Highway, an undulating patch of faux earth that brings a bit of much-needed greenery to Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Among the lovely floral plantings from Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects is an amphitheater, where outdoor performances of ballet and theater are scheduled to take place. Take a spin around the new garden in a two-toned ribbed Staud dress and some peekaboo flats from Cult Gaia (the better to climb all those steps!). Accessorize with a bag by Yuzefi that’s as artful as your surroundings, and a recycled bamboo picnic set from Ekobo should you want to sit and snack.If you find yourself near Pace Gallery’s East Hampton outpost, swing by for “David Hockney: Ma Normandie,” which displays 14 prints of the artist’s home and studio in France. For this, we’d recommend something in the same watercolor hues Hockney is famous for—like those on this pajama-chic set by Anthropologie. And if you really want to take things a step further, sport a limited edition (47 out of 150) sweater designed in collaboration with Hockney and Ritva. Finish off the look with a pair of round sunglasses and a strappy sandal.If you’ve seen photos of Fendi pasta making the rounds on the Instagram accounts of fashion editors recently, and thought, I wonder what Fendi tastes like?, get yourself to Miami. The Design District’s OTL Restaurant has been temporarily transformed into Fendi-Land—an eatery teeming with logos and bright, bright color. Sip on a cappuccino (the foam will be arranged into double-Fs) whilst wearing a scarf in the exact same motif found on the tables. A pair of, yes, Fendi sunnies will also pair nicely with an all-white jumpsuit because, lest you forget, you’re in Miami.Earlier this month, the Harlem-based artist Sanford Biggers was invited by the Art Production Fund to transform Rockefeller Center. Biggers’s interventions can be seen in many corners of Rock Center, but the highlight is undoubtedly his Oracle sculpture. This 25-foot bronze references African masks and historical European representations (and misrepresentations) of African people. One could certainly take in all the art wearing a classic white tee from Alex Mill, a pair of remixed Maison Margiela striped trousers, and some huaraches from Brother Vellies.In East Williamsburg comes the Amant Foundation and its striking HQ built by the architecture firm SO-IL. On the premises (there are four buildings in total) will be a series of art galleries, a bookstore, a cafe, art studios, and a performance space. Inaugurating the new space is artist Grada Kilomba’s exhibition “Heroines, Birds and Monsters.” It might be nice to keep things Brooklyn-made when visiting; so we’d suggest something patchworked by Emily Bode. Also, some pants from Batsheva? And maybe a pair of Telfar loafers and a spritz of D.S. & Durga?The annual Newport Flower Show is back and taking place at Bellevue Avenue’s historic Rosecliff Mansion, which was built by Stanford White after Versaille’s Grand Trianon. Head to the manse’s ballroom (made famous by the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby and High Society) for a floral extravaganza that continues out onto the terrace. While visiting, would you wear anything but florals? We think not. Slip into something botanical from LoveShackFancy and top it off with a Sarah Bray Bermuda hat. A dainty Loeffler Randall clutch and floral earrings from Oscar de la Renta will complete the look.For summer, Dior’s collection was Riviera-themed—or, as they like to call it, Dioriviera. To fete this beachy capsule, the Maison wanted to bring it stateside, and where else but at the “American Riviera” along the coast of California. More precisely, a pop-up celebration lands at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito. Guests will find that the resort’s Garden Bungalow Suites have been transformed into a Dior boutique teeming with toile de Jouy. There, they can shop all the things a Dior-lover needs to live the good life. (And don’t miss the pool and bocce courts, which will be similarly decked out.) Of course, you should wear some Dioriviera pieces. Don’t forget to lather on the sunscreen and perhaps bring a festive beach cruiser, just for kicks.Near downtown Palm Spring arrives Bar Cecil, a brasserie dedicated to bon vivant Cecil Beaton. It’s a cheerful and evocative space meant to please discerning diners who have a taste for the arts. On the walls are signed prints from Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly, Damien Hirst, and many a photograph by Mr. Beaton himself. When visiting the space, it’s best to dress in something that would have pleased the late aesthete. This Cinq à Sept dress comes in a lovely emerald green and these slides from The Attico stick with the jewel tones. Beaton loved the ballet, and he’d likely love this Olympia Le-Tan clutch. And he’d want you to photograph the whole experience, perhaps with an iPhone sheathed in a leather Hermès case.In New Orleans’s Lower Garden District, a restored historic building (we’ll let you Google its former purpose) will open as a 75-room boutique hotel with all the charm you’d expect from NOLA (think scrolling handwrought iron balconies). The onsite restaurant Elizabeth Street Cafe is a buzzy import from Austin, and outside you’ll find a pool and pool bar. Head to Saint Vincent sporting sunglasses by the New Orleans-based Krewe, and perhaps a palm tree-embroidered dress from Agua by Agua Bendita. Finish it off with a straw bag and a pair of Roger Vivier slides.Should you be interested in a trip to Yellowstone National Park this summer, we’d recommend you make Jackson Hole your home base. There’s a slew of hotels, but just opened is the first hotel in Jackson Hole’s antler arch-adorned Town Square. Visit Cloudveil wearing some local baubles from the Jackson Hole Jewelry Company and, if you want to really commit to the aesthetic, consider something fringed. A jacket from Zara does the trick. Pair that with some Khaite jeans and Cloud Socks to be super on-theme. 6 Easy Step To Grab This I Like Neurology And Motorcycles And Maybe 3 People Shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater, long sleeve tee: Click the button “Buy this shirt” Choose your style: men, women, toddlers, … Pic Any color you like!

The Michelin-rated restaurant says it handwraps 12,000 to 15,000 dumplings per week.“Dim Sum Go Go is known for their beautiful 3 star dumpling,” says Young. “It’s filled with jicama, lotus root and cabbage.”“Shanghai 21 was the first restaurant in Chinatown to serve black truffle soup dumplings,” says Young. “Let me tell you, they are to die for.”Chef Raymond Yip says that they only wrap the soup dumplings once the order is placed, since if a soup dumpling is wrapped too early, the dough can get wet which causes it to fall apart. He estimates that they wrap 6 dumplings in one minute–and 360 dumplings within one hour. Additionally, Yip notes that they use gelatin for the soup dumplings’ fillings, versus pigs skin or pig’s knuckle broth, in order to make it healthier.“I’m very picky. Most pot stickers aren’t brown enough, the dough is too thick, or some places use pre-made factory wrappers, and the filling is too dry,” says Young. “The Shanghai 21 pot stickers are amazing. They’re just the way I like them—crisp bottom, thin homemade dough with a filling that’s juicy.”“For over 30 years, Danny Chung has been serving Won Ton Noodle Soup at Great NY Noodletown,” says Young. “The wontons are ethereal, silky and my favorite fast food meal.” She adds that she calls it “fast food” because once ordered, it can be served in less than five minutes.View on InstagramOpen until 4 a.m., Great NY Noodletown is also a local favorite, with several celebrity fans. Momofuku’s David Chang has described his love for its ginger and scallion noodles, while Sarah Jessica Parker and Prabal Gurung (above) are among its Won Ton Soup enthusiasts.Plus, learn more about how to support New York City’s Chinatown community at Welcome to Chinatown, Asian Americans for Equality, Stop Asian Hate, and more. The Newbury Boston, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is housed in a Boston landmark building from 1927. It first opened its doors as the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and later became the Taj Boston. When hospitality management company Highgate took it over, they set out on a years-long renovation to transform it.Upping its cool quotient is partner Major Food Group—yes, that of white-hot restaurants Sadelle’s, Carbone, and The Grill—and airy rooms designed by Champalimaud Design, known for their luxurious contemporary residential interiors at properties like Raffles Singapore, The Carlyle in New York City, and The Little Nell in Aspen. The crown jewel of the Newbury is undoubtedly its sexy rooftop restaurant, set to open in late June.Walking in below the dramatic awning and through the revolving doors across from the park, a stunning black marble herringbone floor gleams below your feet, while a grand staircase twists up the left side. To your right is the entrance to the iconic Street Bar, a longtime local haunt reimagined by Major Food Group with menu items like Spicy Pink Lobster Chowder, deviled eggs, and a club sandwich with hand-carved turkey breast, bacon, fried egg, tomatoes, and dijonaise. The cocktail list includes sections labeled Shaken, Stirred, and Martinis (the latter bone dry and perfectly chilled). As our waiter put it, it’s the perfect place to sit and watch the theater of life go by—request a seat by the window to do just that. Hotel guests can head to private lounge, The Library, to relax by the fire with a book from a selection curated by the BPL.Upstairs, the hotel’s 286 rooms incorporate a neutral color palette that reflects an updated version of the tailored Bostonian aesthetic—this version is not stuffy, but still sophisticated. Handcrafted wood millwork, richly textured furnishings, marble accents, original artwork by Veronica Lawlor, and historic black and white photos from the BPL’s collection ensure a quiet luxury, along with plush amenities like exclusive Byredo bath products with a scent inspired by the Public Gardens, Frette robes, and a copy of Robert McCloskey’s beloved children’s book, Make Way for Ducklings, which takes place in the Public Gardens below. The hotel has 90 luxury suites (the most in all of Boston), including 42 with wood-burning fireplaces and two dramatic Presidential Suites, called The Mansion and The Corner House.We were the first guests to stay in The Mansion, an expansive 1,644-square-foot 15th-floor haven with panoramic park views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s all in the details here, like the show-stopping light fixture in the dining area; the side table near the L-shaped couch holding a glass box filled with snacks in the living room; and the rainforest shower, Toto toilet, double vanity, and deep soaking tub with a bamboo shelf with slots for reading material, as well as the provided pumice stones, brushes and swan-shaped gold and glass jar filled with premium bath salts in the marble bathroom suite. The bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace and cushy king-size Simmons Beautyrest Black mattress clothed in crisp Frette linens, with an extra-soft cashmere blanket on top for snuggling. There’s also a walk-in closet, butler’s pantry and bar, and powder room at the entrance.Contessa, the 4,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant, designed by Boston resident Ken Fulk, will open in late June with sweeping views of the Boston Commons and the city skyline from a glass wall and ceiling enclosure that will slide open on warm days. The jewel-toned marble gridded floor complements the blush and teal velvet banquettes and chairs, marble bar, and details like fringed arm lamps, potted trees, and a playful wallpaper in the Newbury Street entryway that leads to a restaurant-only elevator. An Italian-focused menu by chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi will include dishes like pork and veal meatballs in a creamy Dijon sauce, ricotta and mozzarella panzerotti with marinara sauce, and butternut squash carpaccio.On the second floor is the Newbury Salon, where afternoon tea will be reimagined by Major Food Group in a Jeffrey Beers International-designed room, which can also serve as a private event space. Starting in June or July, tea sandwiches and scones will be served on elegant Bernardaud service featuring playful images from Make Way for Ducklings.While there is no spa, there is a massive fitness center designed by The Wright Fit and its founder, celebrity trainer Jay Wright, with equipment like Peloton bikes, Life Fitness and Freemotion equipment, and TRX suspension trainers. Lockers and a variety of waters and drinks are available.All in all? It might be time to revise your bucket list and add this New England city to your summer travels after all.Last weekend, a lot was happening on the Hudson River. The Whitney Museum’s towering Day’s End permanent sculpture by David Hammons was debuted, and so too was Heatherwick Studio’s Little Island. The latter is a stilted garden just off the West Side Highway, an undulating patch of faux earth that brings a bit of much-needed greenery to Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Among the lovely floral plantings from Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects is an amphitheater, where outdoor performances of ballet and theater are scheduled to take place. Take a spin around the new garden in a two-toned ribbed Staud dress and some peekaboo flats from Cult Gaia (the better to climb all those steps!). Accessorize with a bag by Yuzefi that’s as artful as your surroundings, and a recycled bamboo picnic set from Ekobo should you want to sit and snack.If you find yourself near Pace Gallery’s East Hampton outpost, swing by for “David Hockney: Ma Normandie,” which displays 14 prints of the artist’s home and studio in France. For this, we’d recommend something in the same watercolor hues Hockney is famous for—like those on this pajama-chic set by Anthropologie. And if you really want to take things a step further, sport a limited edition (47 out of 150) sweater designed in collaboration with Hockney and Ritva. Finish off the look with a pair of round sunglasses and a strappy sandal.If you’ve seen photos of Fendi pasta making the rounds on the Instagram accounts of fashion editors recently, and thought, I wonder what Fendi tastes like?, get yourself to Miami. The Design District’s OTL Restaurant has been temporarily transformed into Fendi-Land—an eatery teeming with logos and bright, bright color. Sip on a cappuccino (the foam will be arranged into double-Fs) whilst wearing a scarf in the exact same motif found on the tables. A pair of, yes, Fendi sunnies will also pair nicely with an all-white jumpsuit because, lest you forget, you’re in Miami.Earlier this month, the Harlem-based artist Sanford Biggers was invited by the Art Production Fund to transform Rockefeller Center. Biggers’s interventions can be seen in many corners of Rock Center, but the highlight is undoubtedly his Oracle sculpture. This 25-foot bronze references African masks and historical European representations (and misrepresentations) of African people. One could certainly take in all the art wearing a classic white tee from Alex Mill, a pair of remixed Maison Margiela striped trousers, and some huaraches from Brother Vellies.In East Williamsburg comes the Amant Foundation and its striking HQ built by the architecture firm SO-IL. On the premises (there are four buildings in total) will be a series of art galleries, a bookstore, a cafe, art studios, and a performance space. Inaugurating the new space is artist Grada Kilomba’s exhibition “Heroines, Birds and Monsters.” It might be nice to keep things Brooklyn-made when visiting; so we’d suggest something patchworked by Emily Bode. Also, some pants from Batsheva? And maybe a pair of Telfar loafers and a spritz of D.S. & Durga?The annual Newport Flower Show is back and taking place at Bellevue Avenue’s historic Rosecliff Mansion, which was built by Stanford White after Versaille’s Grand Trianon. Head to the manse’s ballroom (made famous by the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby and High Society) for a floral extravaganza that continues out onto the terrace. While visiting, would you wear anything but florals? We think not. Slip into something botanical from LoveShackFancy and top it off with a Sarah Bray Bermuda hat. A dainty Loeffler Randall clutch and floral earrings from Oscar de la Renta will complete the look.For summer, Dior’s collection was Riviera-themed—or, as they like to call it, Dioriviera. To fete this beachy capsule, the Maison wanted to bring it stateside, and where else but at the “American Riviera” along the coast of California. More precisely, a pop-up celebration lands at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito. Guests will find that the resort’s Garden Bungalow Suites have been transformed into a Dior boutique teeming with toile de Jouy. There, they can shop all the things a Dior-lover needs to live the good life. (And don’t miss the pool and bocce courts, which will be similarly decked out.) Of course, you should wear some Dioriviera pieces. Don’t forget to lather on the sunscreen and perhaps bring a festive beach cruiser, just for kicks.Near downtown Palm Spring arrives Bar Cecil, a brasserie dedicated to bon vivant Cecil Beaton. It’s a cheerful and evocative space meant to please discerning diners who have a taste for the arts. On the walls are signed prints from Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly, Damien Hirst, and many a photograph by Mr. Beaton himself. When visiting the space, it’s best to dress in something that would have pleased the late aesthete. This Cinq à Sept dress comes in a lovely emerald green and these slides from The Attico stick with the jewel tones. Beaton loved the ballet, and he’d likely love this Olympia Le-Tan clutch. And he’d want you to photograph the whole experience, perhaps with an iPhone sheathed in a leather Hermès case.In New Orleans’s Lower Garden District, a restored historic building (we’ll let you Google its former purpose) will open as a 75-room boutique hotel with all the charm you’d expect from NOLA (think scrolling handwrought iron balconies). The onsite restaurant Elizabeth Street Cafe is a buzzy import from Austin, and outside you’ll find a pool and pool bar. Head to Saint Vincent sporting sunglasses by the New Orleans-based Krewe, and perhaps a palm tree-embroidered dress from Agua by Agua Bendita. Finish it off with a straw bag and a pair of Roger Vivier slides.Should you be interested in a trip to Yellowstone National Park this summer, we’d recommend you make Jackson Hole your home base. There’s a slew of hotels, but just opened is the first hotel in Jackson Hole’s antler arch-adorned Town Square. Visit Cloudveil wearing some local baubles from the Jackson Hole Jewelry Company and, if you want to really commit to the aesthetic, consider something fringed. A jacket from Zara does the trick. Pair that with some Khaite jeans and Cloud Socks to be super on-theme. 6 Easy Step To Grab This I Like Neurology And Motorcycles And Maybe 3 People Shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater, long sleeve tee: Click the button “Buy this shirt” Choose your style: men, women, toddlers, … Pic Any color you like!

Or, more likely, you weren’t dressed up at all. But that was then, and this is now—and looking ahead to June, the cultural calendar is quickly filling up with openings and exhibitions. In New York, Thomas Heatherwick’s long-awaited Little Island has opened like a not-so-secret garden floating above the Hudson River. Out on Long Island at Pace Gallery’s outpost in East Hampton, there’s the David Hockney show “Ma Normandie,” which presents delightful watercolors and depictions of the artist’s home in France.In California, Dior delivers a toile-heavy pop-up shop at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, or, as it’s currently been rebranded, the Dioriviera. The summer-long installation is filled with all the things a Dior-lover needs to live the good life. Meanwhile, in Miami, Fendi opens a logo-laden cafe in the city’s Design District. And Jackson Hole sees a new hotel opening right in the middle of town, perfectly timed for all those Yellowstone-trippers.Should you be near any of these happenings, we’ve gone ahead and suggested just a few things you might consider wearing to each. Because, why not wear an original Hockney sweater (more on that below) when you’re in the presence of his work?Boston isn’t usually at the top of people’s vacation bucket list. Yes, the harbor is lovely, there’s centuries of American history to uncover, and Fenway Park is a must-see for baseball fans. But compared to other U.S. cities, Beantown is a bit less flashy, making it off the radar for some. And until recently, the city’s hotel inventory left a bit to be desired.But with the recent unveiling of The Newbury Boston, that’s all about to change. At the iconic address of 1 Newbury Street—Boston’s version of Madison Avenue—it’s across the street from Chanel and Cartier on one side, while the entrance to Boston’s gorgeously manicured Public Garden glitters on the Arlington Street side. Aside from designer shops, Newbury Street is home to art galleries, ice cream parlors like local favorite J.P. Licks, and al fresco cafes. A few blocks away are some of Boston’s toniest Victorian brownstone addresses, nestled among the leafy streets of Back Bay and Beacon Hill. You can also easily walk to the start of the historic Freedom Trail and the circa 1848 museum-like building of the Boston Public Library (BPL), or take a quick ride to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The narrow streets of Chinatown are quieter than usual. While memes float around about how nature has been “healing” in New York City, traffic has been slow to return to Chinatown, and slower still to restaurants. It’s a series of unfortunate events: first, as early as January and February 2020, mom-and-pop businesses, which make up the majority in Chinatown, saw a decline in business as locals began to shelter in place, a decline that was only exacerbated when lockdown orders were officially put into place in March. The Lower Manhattan workers and university students who relied on Chinatown meals vanished, as did tourists.“Chinatown was a ghost town,” says Grace Young, a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author who has become a voice for mom-and-pop Chinese restaurants around the country. “It looked like an empty Hollywood set of Chinatown. You wouldn’t even see three people on the sidewalk.”Next, outdoor dining began in New York City, but sidewalk space was limited in Chinatown, creating great competition among the many restaurants located on a single, tiny street. By fall, indoor dining was allowed at reduced capacity, but many restaurants, already small to begin with, could not earn enough from indoor diners to make up for what had been lost. As warmer weather and vaccine rollout led to a wave of optimism in New York generally, a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes caused locals to live in heightened caution, especially at night, during the very time business should be rebounding.The numbers speak for themselves. Golden Unicorn reported recently that it is still only earning 10 to 20 percent of its pre-pandemic revenues, starkly low compared to other restaurateurs outside of Chinatown who have said they are up to 80 percent or more of their pre-pandemic sales. The New York Times reported recently that at least 17 restaurants and 139 ground-floor stores in Chinatown have permanently closed. Recently, Jing Fong, previously the largest restaurant in Chinatown, made headlines when it announced it was closing its iconic dining room as a result of losing 85 percent of its sales year-over-year.“These older businesses are the heart and soul of Chinatown. They’ve been pillars of the community. So when we lose them, they’re irreplaceable. Right now, with the rise in anti-Asian hate crime, I think the best way to combat it is with love–love in the form of showing up to Chinatown,” says Young. “Chinatown cannot rebound on its own. We have to help Chinatown or nothing is going to happen. If these businesses continue to just scrape along, they have to close at a certain point. The ones that are remaining right now are warriors.”The Chinatown community, but also New York City as a whole, stands to lose a lot if businesses cannot afford to stay open. “These places hold our memories and connect us to each other and to the community,” says Young. So, they’re not just places to eat. For some of these places, the ones that I’m the most fearful of losing, they are actually our last connection to immigrant cooking, from generations before.”She adds that, due to an increase in delivery services and frozen aisle selections, hungry consumers are also “under the illusion” that they don’t have to physically go to Chinatown to enjoy its delicious dim sum. “But when you go [to Chinatown], you are actually experiencing a level of craftsmanship and dumpling that a frozen dumpling can’t even come close [to],” she argues. “Even a takeout dumpling won’t have the same experience.”So, for an authentic, delicious dumpling crawl experience, Young shares her tips on what to look for in the perfect dumpling, as well as her favorite local spots–which are all within walking distance of each other. Grab your friends, order extra for leftovers, and be sure to tip generously.For Young, the perfect dumpling must be handmade. “One of the reasons I love coming to Chinatown for dumplings is that it’s old school,” she explains. “My favorite places still make the dumplings by hand. This requires skilled labor, technique, and craftsmanship.”Shanghai 21 in Manhattan’s Chinatown reports that it hand-wraps 6 dumplings in a minute and 360 in an hour.“There are now machines that make dumplings and there’s no comparison. The taste and texture of a machine made dumpling is not the same,” she adds. “A machine-made dumpling will always have thicker wrappers. It is never delicate. In Chinatown, the dumplings I love are artisanal, made in the traditional way. They are works of art.”In fact, Young explains that dumplings were specifically crafted to be visually appealing thanks to the history of dim sum. Literally translated as “touch your heart,” dim sum originated with waitresses carrying trays of assorted dishes through the tea house, calling out the dish’s name for customers to request for their tables. This later evolved into waitstaff rolling carts around dim sum restaurants.“One of the whole ideas behind dim sum is that there are some things you may not even realize what you’re in the mood for until you see it. As opposed to going to any other restaurant, where you just are ordering from a menu,” explains Young. “Dim sum should be pleasing to the eye. It’s not only supposed to be delicious, but it’s supposed to awaken all of your senses–the aroma, the flavor, the taste, the texture, and then be pleasing to your eyes. Part of the experience of dumplings is to be seduced by the look.””When you look at the 3-star from Dim Sum Go Go, it gives you pause, and you’re just like, ‘wow,’” says Young.Now that you know what to look for in the perfect dumpling, bring your appetite for a tour of the wonderful eateries in Manhattan’s Chinatown, each of which possesses its own distinct specialties. Here, Young shares her favorite standout dumplings at each local haunt.Open for 26 years, Vegetarian Dim Sum House was the first vegetarian dim sum restaurant in Chinatown, according to its owner Frankie Chu.“The watercress dumplings at Vegetarian Dim Sum House are crazy good,” says Young, who notes they are made with watercress, mock ham and mushrooms for the filling and ha gao dough for the wrapping. “Make sure you use their house dipping sauce.”Young also recommends trying the spinach dumpling, snow pea leaves dumpling, and vegetarian mock shrimp dumplings.Locals have been coming to Mee Sum Cafe for siu mai for over 50 years, and the spot has a special place in Young’s heart. “When I eat certain things at Mee Sum, it reminds me of classic Cantonese dishes, and they are prepared exactly as they were in China. They haven’t been modernized at all.”“They’re plump, juicy with just the right combo of pork and shrimp. They’re the best,” Young says about the siu mai at Mee Sum Cafe.“We’re losing more and more of the old-timer Cantonese restaurants, and they speak to me of a way of life and a way of being that reminds me of old Chinatown,” says Young. “What I’m afraid of losing is really the old school Cantonese restaurants and stores because when they go, they will never be replicated. It’s like losing the Oyster Bar in Grand Central. There’s no restaurant that could come in and be anything like the Oyster Bar. They’re just iconic, old style restaurants and they’re from a certain era. Those cooks when we lose them, that way of cooking disappears for good. It will not come back. Right now we still have a few places that are like that in Chinatown, and we really need to preserve and protect them.”These sweet dumplings are simmered in water with julienned ginger and dried osmanthus flowers. “If you love mochi, you’ll love Mee Sum Cafe’s sticky rice dumplings,” says Young. “They’re filled with either a mixture of roasted ground peanuts and sugar or ground black sesame and sugar. They’re so good, I dare you to eat just one.”“The best way to judge a dim sum restaurant is by the quality of the shrimp dumplings because ha gao is the most popular dim sum item,” says Young. “And Ping’s ha gao is the ultimate.”Young notes that the best ha gao have translucent skin, so you can see the shrimp, with a crisp texture like glass. Traditionally, the best dim sum master chef makes 12 pleats to form a ha gao purse shape.“Ping’s is famous for their steamed crab seafood dumplings,” says Young. “It tastes as fabulous as it looks.”“The only restaurant that makes roast duck dumplings is Dim Sum Go Go and I love them with their homemade xo sauce,” says Young. The Michelin-rated restaurant says it handwraps 12,000 to 15,000 dumplings per week.“Dim Sum Go Go is known for their beautiful 3 star dumpling,” says Young. “It’s filled with jicama, lotus root and cabbage.”“Shanghai 21 was the first restaurant in Chinatown to serve black truffle soup dumplings,” says Young. “Let me tell you, they are to die for.”Chef Raymond Yip says that they only wrap the soup dumplings once the order is placed, since if a soup dumpling is wrapped too early, the dough can get wet which causes it to fall apart.

There, they can shop all the things a Dior-lover needs to live the good life. (And don’t miss the pool and bocce courts, which will be similarly decked out.) Of course, you should wear some Dioriviera pieces. Don’t forget to lather on the sunscreen and perhaps bring a festive beach cruiser, just for kicks.Near downtown Palm Spring arrives Bar Cecil, a brasserie dedicated to bon vivant Cecil Beaton. It’s a cheerful and evocative space meant to please discerning diners who have a taste for the arts. On the walls are signed prints from Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly, Damien Hirst, and many a photograph by Mr. Beaton himself. When visiting the space, it’s best to dress in something that would have pleased the late aesthete. This Cinq à Sept dress comes in a lovely emerald green and these slides from The Attico stick with the jewel tones. Beaton loved the ballet, and he’d likely love this Olympia Le-Tan clutch. And he’d want you to photograph the whole experience, perhaps with an iPhone sheathed in a leather Hermès case.In New Orleans’s Lower Garden District, a restored historic building (we’ll let you Google its former purpose) will open as a 75-room boutique hotel with all the charm you’d expect from NOLA (think scrolling handwrought iron balconies). The onsite restaurant Elizabeth Street Cafe is a buzzy import from Austin, and outside you’ll find a pool and pool bar. Head to Saint Vincent sporting sunglasses by the New Orleans-based Krewe, and perhaps a palm tree-embroidered dress from Agua by Agua Bendita. Finish it off with a straw bag and a pair of Roger Vivier slides.Should you be interested in a trip to Yellowstone National Park this summer, we’d recommend you make Jackson Hole your home base. There’s a slew of hotels, but just opened is the first hotel in Jackson Hole’s antler arch-adorned Town Square. Visit Cloudveil wearing some local baubles from the Jackson Hole Jewelry Company and, if you want to really commit to the aesthetic, consider something fringed. A jacket from Zara does the trick. Pair that with some Khaite jeans and Cloud Socks to be super on-theme. 6 Easy Step To Grab This I Like Neurology And Motorcycles And Maybe 3 People Shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater, long sleeve tee: Click the button “Buy this shirt” Choose your style: men, women, toddlers, … Pic Any color you like!

Or, more likely, you weren’t dressed up at all. But that was then, and this is now—and looking ahead to June, the cultural calendar is quickly filling up with openings and exhibitions. In New York, Thomas Heatherwick’s long-awaited Little Island has opened like a not-so-secret garden floating above the Hudson River. Out on Long Island at Pace Gallery’s outpost in East Hampton, there’s the David Hockney show “Ma Normandie,” which presents delightful watercolors and depictions of the artist’s home in France.In California, Dior delivers a toile-heavy pop-up shop at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, or, as it’s currently been rebranded, the Dioriviera. The summer-long installation is filled with all the things a Dior-lover needs to live the good life. Meanwhile, in Miami, Fendi opens a logo-laden cafe in the city’s Design District. And Jackson Hole sees a new hotel opening right in the middle of town, perfectly timed for all those Yellowstone-trippers.Should you be near any of these happenings, we’ve gone ahead and suggested just a few things you might consider wearing to each. Because, why not wear an original Hockney sweater (more on that below) when you’re in the presence of his work?Boston isn’t usually at the top of people’s vacation bucket list. Yes, the harbor is lovely, there’s centuries of American history to uncover, and Fenway Park is a must-see for baseball fans. But compared to other U.S. cities, Beantown is a bit less flashy, making it off the radar for some. And until recently, the city’s hotel inventory left a bit to be desired.But with the recent unveiling of The Newbury Boston, that’s all about to change. At the iconic address of 1 Newbury Street—Boston’s version of Madison Avenue—it’s across the street from Chanel and Cartier on one side, while the entrance to Boston’s gorgeously manicured Public Garden glitters on the Arlington Street side. Aside from designer shops, Newbury Street is home to art galleries, ice cream parlors like local favorite J.P. Licks, and al fresco cafes. A few blocks away are some of Boston’s toniest Victorian brownstone addresses, nestled among the leafy streets of Back Bay and Beacon Hill. You can also easily walk to the start of the historic Freedom Trail and the circa 1848 museum-like building of the Boston Public Library (BPL), or take a quick ride to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The narrow streets of Chinatown are quieter than usual. While memes float around about how nature has been “healing” in New York City, traffic has been slow to return to Chinatown, and slower still to restaurants. It’s a series of unfortunate events: first, as early as January and February 2020, mom-and-pop businesses, which make up the majority in Chinatown, saw a decline in business as locals began to shelter in place, a decline that was only exacerbated when lockdown orders were officially put into place in March. The Lower Manhattan workers and university students who relied on Chinatown meals vanished, as did tourists.“Chinatown was a ghost town,” says Grace Young, a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author who has become a voice for mom-and-pop Chinese restaurants around the country. “It looked like an empty Hollywood set of Chinatown. You wouldn’t even see three people on the sidewalk.”Next, outdoor dining began in New York City, but sidewalk space was limited in Chinatown, creating great competition among the many restaurants located on a single, tiny street. By fall, indoor dining was allowed at reduced capacity, but many restaurants, already small to begin with, could not earn enough from indoor diners to make up for what had been lost. As warmer weather and vaccine rollout led to a wave of optimism in New York generally, a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes caused locals to live in heightened caution, especially at night, during the very time business should be rebounding.The numbers speak for themselves. Golden Unicorn reported recently that it is still only earning 10 to 20 percent of its pre-pandemic revenues, starkly low compared to other restaurateurs outside of Chinatown who have said they are up to 80 percent or more of their pre-pandemic sales. The New York Times reported recently that at least 17 restaurants and 139 ground-floor stores in Chinatown have permanently closed. Recently, Jing Fong, previously the largest restaurant in Chinatown, made headlines when it announced it was closing its iconic dining room as a result of losing 85 percent of its sales year-over-year.“These older businesses are the heart and soul of Chinatown. They’ve been pillars of the community. So when we lose them, they’re irreplaceable. Right now, with the rise in anti-Asian hate crime, I think the best way to combat it is with love–love in the form of showing up to Chinatown,” says Young. “Chinatown cannot rebound on its own. We have to help Chinatown or nothing is going to happen. If these businesses continue to just scrape along, they have to close at a certain point. The ones that are remaining right now are warriors.”The Chinatown community, but also New York City as a whole, stands to lose a lot if businesses cannot afford to stay open. “These places hold our memories and connect us to each other and to the community,” says Young. So, they’re not just places to eat. For some of these places, the ones that I’m the most fearful of losing, they are actually our last connection to immigrant cooking, from generations before.”She adds that, due to an increase in delivery services and frozen aisle selections, hungry consumers are also “under the illusion” that they don’t have to physically go to Chinatown to enjoy its delicious dim sum. “But when you go [to Chinatown], you are actually experiencing a level of craftsmanship and dumpling that a frozen dumpling can’t even come close [to],” she argues. “Even a takeout dumpling won’t have the same experience.”So, for an authentic, delicious dumpling crawl experience, Young shares her tips on what to look for in the perfect dumpling, as well as her favorite local spots–which are all within walking distance of each other. Grab your friends, order extra for leftovers, and be sure to tip generously.For Young, the perfect dumpling must be handmade. “One of the reasons I love coming to Chinatown for dumplings is that it’s old school,” she explains. “My favorite places still make the dumplings by hand. This requires skilled labor, technique, and craftsmanship.”Shanghai 21 in Manhattan’s Chinatown reports that it hand-wraps 6 dumplings in a minute and 360 in an hour.“There are now machines that make dumplings and there’s no comparison. The taste and texture of a machine made dumpling is not the same,” she adds. “A machine-made dumpling will always have thicker wrappers. It is never delicate. In Chinatown, the dumplings I love are artisanal, made in the traditional way. They are works of art.”In fact, Young explains that dumplings were specifically crafted to be visually appealing thanks to the history of dim sum. Literally translated as “touch your heart,” dim sum originated with waitresses carrying trays of assorted dishes through the tea house, calling out the dish’s name for customers to request for their tables. This later evolved into waitstaff rolling carts around dim sum restaurants.“One of the whole ideas behind dim sum is that there are some things you may not even realize what you’re in the mood for until you see it. As opposed to going to any other restaurant, where you just are ordering from a menu,” explains Young. “Dim sum should be pleasing to the eye. It’s not only supposed to be delicious, but it’s supposed to awaken all of your senses–the aroma, the flavor, the taste, the texture, and then be pleasing to your eyes. Part of the experience of dumplings is to be seduced by the look.””When you look at the 3-star from Dim Sum Go Go, it gives you pause, and you’re just like, ‘wow,’” says Young.Now that you know what to look for in the perfect dumpling, bring your appetite for a tour of the wonderful eateries in Manhattan’s Chinatown, each of which possesses its own distinct specialties. Here, Young shares her favorite standout dumplings at each local haunt.Open for 26 years, Vegetarian Dim Sum House was the first vegetarian dim sum restaurant in Chinatown, according to its owner Frankie Chu.“The watercress dumplings at Vegetarian Dim Sum House are crazy good,” says Young, who notes they are made with watercress, mock ham and mushrooms for the filling and ha gao dough for the wrapping. “Make sure you use their house dipping sauce.”Young also recommends trying the spinach dumpling, snow pea leaves dumpling, and vegetarian mock shrimp dumplings.Locals have been coming to Mee Sum Cafe for siu mai for over 50 years, and the spot has a special place in Young’s heart. “When I eat certain things at Mee Sum, it reminds me of classic Cantonese dishes, and they are prepared exactly as they were in China. They haven’t been modernized at all.”“They’re plump, juicy with just the right combo of pork and shrimp. They’re the best,” Young says about the siu mai at Mee Sum Cafe.“We’re losing more and more of the old-timer Cantonese restaurants, and they speak to me of a way of life and a way of being that reminds me of old Chinatown,” says Young. “What I’m afraid of losing is really the old school Cantonese restaurants and stores because when they go, they will never be replicated. It’s like losing the Oyster Bar in Grand Central. There’s no restaurant that could come in and be anything like the Oyster Bar. They’re just iconic, old style restaurants and they’re from a certain era. Those cooks when we lose them, that way of cooking disappears for good. It will not come back. Right now we still have a few places that are like that in Chinatown, and we really need to preserve and protect them.”These sweet dumplings are simmered in water with julienned ginger and dried osmanthus flowers. “If you love mochi, you’ll love Mee Sum Cafe’s sticky rice dumplings,” says Young. “They’re filled with either a mixture of roasted ground peanuts and sugar or ground black sesame and sugar. They’re so good, I dare you to eat just one.”“The best way to judge a dim sum restaurant is by the quality of the shrimp dumplings because ha gao is the most popular dim sum item,” says Young. “And Ping’s ha gao is the ultimate.”Young notes that the best ha gao have translucent skin, so you can see the shrimp, with a crisp texture like glass. Traditionally, the best dim sum master chef makes 12 pleats to form a ha gao purse shape.“Ping’s is famous for their steamed crab seafood dumplings,” says Young. “It tastes as fabulous as it looks.”“The only restaurant that makes roast duck dumplings is Dim Sum Go Go and I love them with their homemade xo sauce,” says Young. The Michelin-rated restaurant says it handwraps 12,000 to 15,000 dumplings per week.“Dim Sum Go Go is known for their beautiful 3 star dumpling,” says Young. “It’s filled with jicama, lotus root and cabbage.”“Shanghai 21 was the first restaurant in Chinatown to serve black truffle soup dumplings,” says Young. “Let me tell you, they are to die for.”Chef Raymond Yip says that they only wrap the soup dumplings once the order is placed, since if a soup dumpling is wrapped too early, the dough can get wet which causes it to fall apart. He estimates that they wrap 6 dumplings in one minute–and 360 dumplings within one hour. Additionally, Yip notes that they use gelatin for the soup dumplings’ fillings, versus pigs skin or pig’s knuckle broth, in order to make it healthier.“I’m very picky. Most pot stickers aren’t brown enough, the dough is too thick, or some places use pre-made factory wrappers, and the filling is too dry,” says Young. “The Shanghai 21 pot stickers are amazing. They’re just the way I like them—crisp bottom, thin homemade dough with a filling that’s juicy.”“For over 30 years, Danny Chung has been serving Won Ton Noodle Soup at Great NY Noodletown,” says Young. “The wontons are ethereal, silky and my favorite fast food meal.” She adds that she calls it “fast food” because once ordered, it can be served in less than five minutes.View on InstagramOpen until 4 a.m., Great NY Noodletown is also a local favorite, with several celebrity fans. Momofuku’s David Chang has described his love for its ginger and scallion noodles, while Sarah Jessica Parker and Prabal Gurung (above) are among its Won Ton Soup enthusiasts.Plus, learn more about how to support New York City’s Chinatown community at Welcome to Chinatown, Asian Americans for Equality, Stop Asian Hate, and more. The Newbury Boston, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is housed in a Boston landmark building from 1927. It first opened its doors as the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and later became the Taj Boston. When hospitality management company Highgate took it over, they set out on a years-long renovation to transform it.Upping its cool quotient is partner Major Food Group—yes, that of white-hot restaurants Sadelle’s, Carbone, and The Grill—and airy rooms designed by Champalimaud Design, known for their luxurious contemporary residential interiors at properties like Raffles Singapore, The Carlyle in New York City, and The Little Nell in Aspen. The crown jewel of the Newbury is undoubtedly its sexy rooftop restaurant, set to open in late June.Walking in below the dramatic awning and through the revolving doors across from the park, a stunning black marble herringbone floor gleams below your feet, while a grand staircase twists up the left side. To your right is the entrance to the iconic Street Bar, a longtime local haunt reimagined by Major Food Group with menu items like Spicy Pink Lobster Chowder, deviled eggs, and a club sandwich with hand-carved turkey breast, bacon, fried egg, tomatoes, and dijonaise. The cocktail list includes sections labeled Shaken, Stirred, and Martinis (the latter bone dry and perfectly chilled). As our waiter put it, it’s the perfect place to sit and watch the theater of life go by—request a seat by the window to do just that. Hotel guests can head to private lounge, The Library, to relax by the fire with a book from a selection curated by the BPL.Upstairs, the hotel’s 286 rooms incorporate a neutral color palette that reflects an updated version of the tailored Bostonian aesthetic—this version is not stuffy, but still sophisticated. Handcrafted wood millwork, richly textured furnishings, marble accents, original artwork by Veronica Lawlor, and historic black and white photos from the BPL’s collection ensure a quiet luxury, along with plush amenities like exclusive Byredo bath products with a scent inspired by the Public Gardens, Frette robes, and a copy of Robert McCloskey’s beloved children’s book, Make Way for Ducklings, which takes place in the Public Gardens below. The hotel has 90 luxury suites (the most in all of Boston), including 42 with wood-burning fireplaces and two dramatic Presidential Suites, called The Mansion and The Corner House.We were the first guests to stay in The Mansion, an expansive 1,644-square-foot 15th-floor haven with panoramic park views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s all in the details here, like the show-stopping light fixture in the dining area; the side table near the L-shaped couch holding a glass box filled with snacks in the living room; and the rainforest shower, Toto toilet, double vanity, and deep soaking tub with a bamboo shelf with slots for reading material, as well as the provided pumice stones, brushes and swan-shaped gold and glass jar filled with premium bath salts in the marble bathroom suite. The bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace and cushy king-size Simmons Beautyrest Black mattress clothed in crisp Frette linens, with an extra-soft cashmere blanket on top for snuggling. There’s also a walk-in closet, butler’s pantry and bar, and powder room at the entrance.Contessa, the 4,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant, designed by Boston resident Ken Fulk, will open in late June with sweeping views of the Boston Commons and the city skyline from a glass wall and ceiling enclosure that will slide open on warm days. The jewel-toned marble gridded floor complements the blush and teal velvet banquettes and chairs, marble bar, and details like fringed arm lamps, potted trees, and a playful wallpaper in the Newbury Street entryway that leads to a restaurant-only elevator. An Italian-focused menu by chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi will include dishes like pork and veal meatballs in a creamy Dijon sauce, ricotta and mozzarella panzerotti with marinara sauce, and butternut squash carpaccio.On the second floor is the Newbury Salon, where afternoon tea will be reimagined by Major Food Group in a Jeffrey Beers International-designed room, which can also serve as a private event space. Starting in June or July, tea sandwiches and scones will be served on elegant Bernardaud service featuring playful images from Make Way for Ducklings.While there is no spa, there is a massive fitness center designed by The Wright Fit and its founder, celebrity trainer Jay Wright, with equipment like Peloton bikes, Life Fitness and Freemotion equipment, and TRX suspension trainers. Lockers and a variety of waters and drinks are available.All in all? It might be time to revise your bucket list and add this New England city to your summer travels after all.Last weekend, a lot was happening on the Hudson River. The Whitney Museum’s towering Day’s End permanent sculpture by David Hammons was debuted, and so too was Heatherwick Studio’s Little Island. The latter is a stilted garden just off the West Side Highway, an undulating patch of faux earth that brings a bit of much-needed greenery to Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Among the lovely floral plantings from Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects is an amphitheater, where outdoor performances of ballet and theater are scheduled to take place. Take a spin around the new garden in a two-toned ribbed Staud dress and some peekaboo flats from Cult Gaia (the better to climb all those steps!). Accessorize with a bag by Yuzefi that’s as artful as your surroundings, and a recycled bamboo picnic set from Ekobo should you want to sit and snack.If you find yourself near Pace Gallery’s East Hampton outpost, swing by for “David Hockney: Ma Normandie,” which displays 14 prints of the artist’s home and studio in France. For this, we’d recommend something in the same watercolor hues Hockney is famous for—like those on this pajama-chic set by Anthropologie. And if you really want to take things a step further, sport a limited edition (47 out of 150) sweater designed in collaboration with Hockney and Ritva. Finish off the look with a pair of round sunglasses and a strappy sandal.If you’ve seen photos of Fendi pasta making the rounds on the Instagram accounts of fashion editors recently, and thought, I wonder what Fendi tastes like?, get yourself to Miami. The Design District’s OTL Restaurant has been temporarily transformed into Fendi-Land—an eatery teeming with logos and bright, bright color. Sip on a cappuccino (the foam will be arranged into double-Fs) whilst wearing a scarf in the exact same motif found on the tables. A pair of, yes, Fendi sunnies will also pair nicely with an all-white jumpsuit because, lest you forget, you’re in Miami.Earlier this month, the Harlem-based artist Sanford Biggers was invited by the Art Production Fund to transform Rockefeller Center. Biggers’s interventions can be seen in many corners of Rock Center, but the highlight is undoubtedly his Oracle sculpture. This 25-foot bronze references African masks and historical European representations (and misrepresentations) of African people. One could certainly take in all the art wearing a classic white tee from Alex Mill, a pair of remixed Maison Margiela striped trousers, and some huaraches from Brother Vellies.In East Williamsburg comes the Amant Foundation and its striking HQ built by the architecture firm SO-IL. On the premises (there are four buildings in total) will be a series of art galleries, a bookstore, a cafe, art studios, and a performance space. Inaugurating the new space is artist Grada Kilomba’s exhibition “Heroines, Birds and Monsters.” It might be nice to keep things Brooklyn-made when visiting; so we’d suggest something patchworked by Emily Bode. Also, some pants from Batsheva? And maybe a pair of Telfar loafers and a spritz of D.S. & Durga?The annual Newport Flower Show is back and taking place at Bellevue Avenue’s historic Rosecliff Mansion, which was built by Stanford White after Versaille’s Grand Trianon. Head to the manse’s ballroom (made famous by the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby and High Society) for a floral extravaganza that continues out onto the terrace. While visiting, would you wear anything but florals? We think not. Slip into something botanical from LoveShackFancy and top it off with a Sarah Bray Bermuda hat. A dainty Loeffler Randall clutch and floral earrings from Oscar de la Renta will complete the look.For summer, Dior’s collection was Riviera-themed—or, as they like to call it, Dioriviera. To fete this beachy capsule, the Maison wanted to bring it stateside, and where else but at the “American Riviera” along the coast of California. More precisely, a pop-up celebration lands at the Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito. Guests will find that the resort’s Garden Bungalow Suites have been transformed into a Dior boutique teeming with toile de Jouy. There, they can shop all the things a Dior-lover needs to live the good life. (And don’t miss the pool and bocce courts, which will be similarly decked out.) Of course, you should wear some Dioriviera pieces. Don’t forget to lather on the sunscreen and perhaps bring a festive beach cruiser, just for kicks.Near downtown Palm Spring arrives Bar Cecil, a brasserie dedicated to bon vivant Cecil Beaton. It’s a cheerful and evocative space meant to please discerning diners who have a taste for the arts. On the walls are signed prints from Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly, Damien Hirst, and many a photograph by Mr. Beaton himself.
