Manhattan Mojo.

It’s your dharma.

No apologies here.

Late morning on Spring Street.

Shadows still long against buildings.

Energizing sun (cold enough for blazer and scarf but warm enough for meandering). This is an all day, contact-sport event.

Eggs meurette at Balthazar (matre ds an old friend). Afternoon cocktails at the Gansevoort. Gentleman offers to buy you a second Sloe Gin Fizz. Thats very kind, but I have plans. Browse exhibition of vintage Montauk photographs. Then, your pice de rsistance: slow shopping in SoHo.

Fall fabrics. Fun patrons. Engaging shop owners.

Boutiques you need to look good at just to shop in.

No worries. Youre prepared.
