-Christies is well known for their art, but they also do fashion! It’s free to see their collections and you even get a coffee with your ticket! Their showroom is located in Rockefeller Center in NYC.

-This fashion exhibit at the Metropolitan in NYC was easily one of the most spectacular exhibits I have seen in my entire life. It was a perfect blend of history and modernity, showcasing celebrities, Catholic leaders, and blending in with the Metropolitan museum seamlessly. Everyone in my family was floored by this exhibit, including my father who usually needs to be bullied to go look at dresses.
-Every year the holidays become real on 5th Ave when the metropolitan unveils their Chrismas tree in the Spanish cloisters. The objects are Italian and yes, you’ll have to push an old lady over to see them if you have bad vision like me. But that’s part of the NYC season :)
