Each week, Alexa is rounding up the buzziest fashion awards, hotel openings, restaurant debuts and popular cultural events in NYC. It’s our curated guide to the best things to see, buy, taste and experience around town.
What’s making our luxury list this week? That viral jacket from The Bear is back, Todd Snyder is opening another store, and Times Square just got a whole lot sweeter.
The seemingly innocuous woolen jacket worn by Jeremy Allen White’s character Carmy in The Bear currently has a 20,000-strong waiting list. NN.07, the company that made the jacket in question (called The Gael), just opened in SoHo and will have a limited supply for sale in-store on September 7th. The store is styled with fall/winter goods, plus chic accessories including jewelry and accessories from Brooklyn-based jeweler Heath Wagoner, Folie À Plusieurs fragrances, tote bags from Japanese label Amiacalva, sunglasses from Garrett Leight, D’Orsay candles and ceramics by Leslie Scanlon. The Gael jacket will be available in limited quantities in-store only on September 7th, with an online release on September 9th.

This week marked the debut of Andile Dyalvane’s fourth show at Friedman Benda. Dyalvane, for the uninformed, is considered one of South Africa’s foremost ceramic artists, whose pieces are in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. Through his work he has always sought to honor his Xhosa heritage and his new play, Oonomathotholo: Whispers of the Ancestors, takes its title from the intergenerational whispers of the Xhosa people. It contains over a dozen pottery, many of them vessels, that “carry records of ancient experience transmitted through time.”

Serendipity3 has just opened on West 47 Street, 70 years after it first debuted as a restaurant and general store on the Upper East Side. It’s attached to the OYO Times Square Hotel and is helmed by chef Joe Calderone, with a menu that mimics the UES version (Frrrozen Hot Chocolate for the win!) albeit with new additions including a Sunday chicken dinner, an ice cream bar with three new flavors, as well as a convenient bar offering “elevated cocktails.” The interior was designed by Wid Chapman Architects, who channeled Andy Warhol (once a regular) through the artist’s pop art reproductions depicting Marilyn Monroe, the late Queen Elizabeth II and more.

TriBeCa’s Galerie56, strategically located on the street level of the infamous 56 Leonard Building (aka “Jenga”), just debuted an exhibition in conjunction with London’s Sarah Myerscough Gallery. “Shadows of Light” features works that celebrate organic materials and some pretty remarkable craftsmanship, including Full Grown willow chairs grown over many years from a single tree, cast in bronze for the first time, wooden vessels returned by Ernst Gamperl, winner of the 2017 Loewe First Prize, and Eleanor Lakelin’s horse chestnut vessels (in the permanent collections of the Museum of Art and Design, New York and the V&A, London). There’s more, of course, with the bonus of an Anish Kapoor sculpture right outside.
