CITY NOTES

CURATED BY PATRICIA GREENE ISEN

July
It's Officially Summer

...And welcome to my first edition of the “City Notes” trend report. For those who do not know me, I have been immersed in fashion and home design for over 30 years. I have worked with interior designers, architects, artists and designers from around the world, developing home, interior design and fashion concepts—always traveling globally in search of the next trend or new idea.

City notes will be an indispensable guide on what is exciting, provocative, beautiful and/ or delicious in New York City. I have grown up, worked and played in New York for most of my life and look forward to sharing my personal favorites and perspectives with you. A report on this season’s must-see events, venues and activities in NYC with a special focus on: art, food, design, architecture with real estate quarterly reports, updates and exclusives. Enjoy!
