For Morning Coffee:
The best part of Paris is trying all the cafés scattered along the streets. Wish I could get my coffee from there every morning.
For a Decadent Dinner:
When in Paris, I make a point to take friends to Apicius. The food is always delicious.
For a Low-Key Glass of Wine:
I love going to HMF at the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. It's a chic lounge that serves great wine for a quintessential Palm Beach night.
To Indulge Her Sweet Tooth:
I try to be healthy! But I will say that Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC makes it hard.
To Buy Beauty Essentials (and Discover New Ones!):
Beauty shops on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
For a Night of Let-Loose Dancing:
I love to dance, and I love going out in New York City. 1 Oak is the perfect place for that!
For an Intense Workout:
Tennis courts anywhere, of course.
