Whether you call New York home for real, or just a weekend, it’s undeniably a city that makes it impossible not to take everything in with fresh eyes—like you’re seeing things for the very first time. It doesn’t hurt that every neighborhood has what feels like its own distinct personality and vibe—something that you’re compelled to channel as you explore every previously undiscovered nook and cranny. In an ode to a few of our favorite stomping grounds, we’ve put together a series of city guides that celebrate them—as seen through the Tiffany & Co. lens.
Wear
Remember how when you’d get ready as a teenager, someone would inevitably remind you that you weren’t getting ready for a fashion show? Here, you kind of are. A graphic tee and patent skirt will score you all kinds of cool points while still feeling like a second skin. Go chunky with your accessories—an interesting bag, dad sneakers, a toughened-up gold chain peeking from beneath your tee. Finally, add a pair of blacked-out aviators, like this gold-detailed pair by Tiffany & Co. We’re obsessed with the clean, bold shape, feminine framing, and signature Tiffany T embellishment.

Do

“

amongst the white-washed walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and lifesized stuffed giraffe at
