Vandal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Start your weekend off right\u00a0at Vandal<\/a>, Chef Chris Santos and TAO Group’s latest venture located on the Bowery. World-renowned street artists, global street food, and a hip space come together to form NYC’s hottest dining spot.\u00a0From Peruvian Style Ceviche to the Pressed New York Hot Pretzel featuring\u00a0American Kobe tartare, smoked aioli and pickled mustard seeds, everything on the menu (cocktails included!)\u00a0is delightful.<\/p>\n Beauty & Essex<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Next, make your way to Beauty & Essex<\/a>\u00a0for creative cocktails. Our latest favorite? The Black Tie White Noise,\u00a0composed of\u00a0activated charcoal, yellow chartreuse, lemon, whiskey, and single malt scotch.\u00a0While you’re having fun with the ladies, activated charcoal will help to remove toxins, purify the body, and prevent bloating. We consider this a winner in our book!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n SATURDAY:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Van Court Studio<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Located in the Financial District, Van Court Studio<\/a> is the newest and healthiest nail salon that you need to know about. Aside from offering fab treatments that focus on getting your nails in the best shape ever, they also specialize in offering non-toxic 9 or 5-free nail polishes and natural creams and oils. And not to worry, the nail techs also know how to whip up some gorgeous nail art. Bonus: the salon opens at 7 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. the rest of the week, so you can kick off your morning with a mani!<\/p>\n Spirit of New York Statue of Liberty Lunch Cruise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n After a little pampering, climb\u00a0aboard the Spirit of New York<\/a> for the ultimate lunch cruise. The boat sails around Manhattan, offering unobstructed views of the NYC skyline, Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and more. While your\u00a0ticket\u00a0includes a scrumptious lunch spread, we recommend\u00a0adding the premium bar to your experience. After all, what could more fun than bloody mary’s and Lady Liberty selfies on the roof deck?<\/p>\n Little Lions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n End the day on a fuzzy (literally) note at Little Lions<\/a> in SoHo. Sipping on your favorite tea or latte in a chic cafe is one thing. But when cute, adoptable cats and kittens are added into the equation, it makes for the best Saturday afternoon treat ever. And no fret, it’s completely sanitary. One room remains a cafe where you can order baked goods and tea, and the other room is the cat sanctuary, where guests can take their beverages into the room and play with the felines.<\/p>\n SUNDAY:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Image: Daniel Krieger Photography<\/a><\/p>\n Sweet Chick<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Start your day off with brunch at\u00a0American comfort food spot\u00a0Sweet Chick<\/a> in the Lower East Side.\u00a0Trust us, \u00a0you’ll never have better chicken and waffles anywhere else. And plus, they have gourmet waffle flavors like bacon-cheddar, walnut-parmesan, spiced-pecan and more, which will take your meal to a whole new and delicious level. Add in the\u00a0Kale B.L.T. Salad and a craft\u00a0cocktail and your palate will be in good hands.<\/span><\/p>\n Guerlain Spa at The Waldorf Astoria, New York<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Next, make your way up to the Waldorf Astoria<\/a> and #treatyourself to a\u00a050 minute Beauty Lift Facial at the gorgeous Guerlain Spa<\/a>. As told by my esthetician, this is essentially like a gym class but for your face. And unlike most facials, it involves an anti-aging beauty massage that focuses on the face muscles in order to “target wrinkles,\u00a0smooth lines, and activate microcirculation.”\u00a0After one treatment, expect more youthful, toned, and radiant-looking skin.<\/p>\n xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"Whether you're a local or a visitor, planning the perfect weekend in New York City ...","author":252529,"featured_media":76031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[54,260],"tags":[],"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/10223250\/NYC-Main.png","thumbnail_url_middle_card":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/10223250\/NYC-Main.png","formated_date":"March 9, 2016","category_name":"Travel","category_icon":"","author_name":"","trending":false,"sponsored":false,"random_color":"#f7ff8c","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/252529"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Screen](\"https:\/\/static-blog.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/10223252\/Screen-Shot-2016-03-09-at-12.15.07-PM.png\")
