“I’ll always have a nostalgic pull toward New York—it’s where I got my big career break and the inspiration here never runs dry,” says Gucci of the city where she’s worked and played for over two decades. “Everyone’s building, creating, doing—every visit feels electric.”
In today’s mini guide, she shares the timeless spots that keep her coming back, from iconic eateries to the beauty rituals she swears by. Consider this your cheat sheet for what (and where) to book next.
1. The Polo Bar
“The Polo Bar is such a classic—cozy, inviting, and always delicious. It’s a favorite for the whole family, especially around the holidays when it feels extra special.”
2. David Mallett Salon
“I truly can’t imagine going anywhere else for my hair. Whenever David’s in town from Paris, I always book a cut with him—he just gets it. His impeccable product line is the best for good hair days between appointments.”
3. The Museum of Modern Art
“The MoMa simply never fails to inspire. I love to check out the newest exhibitions whenever I’m nearby and grab lunch at the Terrace Café.”
4. JJ Eyelashes
“I started seeing Christina for lash extensions this spring after a recommendation from my friend Tabitha Simmons. She makes them look so natural—now I’m hooked!”
5. Happier Grocery
“This place is a gem—so well curated and conveniently close to my hair salon. I make a point to swing by for a juice and their raw almonds, which are Erewhon-level good!”
6. Dan Belkin, MD
“I recently began seeing dermatologist Dan Belkin, and I couldn’t be happier. He has a great eye for recommending the right treatments, with a refined, natural touch—exactly my kind of approach.”
7. Bathhouse
“My husband David loves this place. With six thermal pools and multiple saunas, it’s the perfect way to reset. My routine is always a cold plunge followed by time in the sauna—amazing!”
8. Violet Grey
“Violet Grey just opened their first-ever NYC flagship, offering the best curation of all things beauty. I can’t wait to pop into the chic designed space to see what’s new—and, of course, I’ll look in our Westman Atelier products!”
9. Kaffe Landskap
“Whenever I’m in TriBeCa, I love grabbing an extra hot almond milk latte from this Scandinavian spot. Their coffee is so great that I ordered some beans for our machine at home!”
10. San Vicente Bungalows
“Lucky to call this place our second home! It’s been so great having a spot for me and my husband to stay when we’re in the city for a night. The rooms are the chicest, with interiors by the British design star Rose Uniacke, and the service is top notch.”
