FIRST-TIME TUESDAYS
I’m thinking of going to 20/20 at 20 Warren for a drink this Tuesday—in honor of First-Time Tuesdays, of course, and because this video makes it look irresistible. Not 100% sure, so if you’re interested in joining me send me a note at tribecacitizen@gmail.com.

Through May 19, receive a matching set of Celeste or Giotto sheets from Sferra with the purchase of a DUX bed. Joined together, the DUX bed and Sferra fine linens are an exquisite combination, where both brands share decades of delivering luxurious products based on the highest quality and the finest materials.
