Off The MRKT

Restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow, the CEO and founder of China Grill Management, has opened Mr. Edison inside Philadelphia’s landmark Bellevue Hotel, a modern reimagining of the 1940s supper club. The name nods to Thomas Edison, whose electrification of The Bellevue over a century ago helped stretch the city’s nights past sundown.

The Upper East Side is getting a new address with old-world ambitions. 260 East 72nd Street has topped out at its full 20-story height on the corner of Second Avenue and East 72nd Street, marking the first Manhattan condominium for developer Simon Dushinsky’s Sky Equity Group. Sales are slated to launch this fall, with 60 residences ranging from two- to five-bedroom homes spread across two interconnected buildings. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is handling sales and marketing exclusively.

Stacey Bendet opened her Water Mill residence on Sunday, June 28, for a poolside afternoon that functioned as an unofficial start gun for Hamptons summer.

Sauvignon Blanc with a little heat on the side has become one of the season’s favorite pairings, and Banfi is making the case for a Tuscan alternative. La Pettegola Rose Toscana IGT, the newest release in the winery’s flamingo-labeled La Pettegola line, leans into the easy, salty-air spirit of the Italian coast. The name translates to both a coastal seabird and, more playfully, a gossip, the kind of chatter you imagine drifting across a seaside piazza as friends catch up over a glass.

Summer is officially in full swing, which means the grill is on, the group chat is overplanning, and everyone could use something cold, colorful, and a little more festive than another basic canned drink.

Office-to-residential conversions have officially graduated from urban experiment to a defining force in how American cities grow, and nowhere is that shift more visible than in New York.

Following the success of their 2025 collaboration, Pharrell Williams and Moet & Chandon are reuniting this summer to bottle the effortless style and spirit of the French Riviera.

Tucked away on 3.32 private acres along sought-after Spectacle Lane, 45 Spectacle Lane in Wilton, Connecticut is the kind of home that rewards a discerning eye. Listed at $1,625,000, the 2,725-square-foot, three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom estate has been lovingly restored to showcase the soulful character and timeless craftsmanship of a 1925 home, an architectural rarity whose interior design was once featured in New York Magazine.

World Cup season has a way of turning New York into one giant watch party, and thankfully, the city has better options than crowding around a tiny bar TV with a warm beer. From rooftops with skyline views to restaurants serving proper food, cocktails, and big-match energy, NYC is full of places to cheer, stress, celebrate, and pretend you totally understood that offside call. Whether you want a rowdy sports-bar crowd or something a little more polished for match day, these are the spots to know.

Out East, the unofficial summer dress code has always been "effortless, but make it expensive." This season, Maison Close Southampton is taking that energy all the way to the front of house — teaming up with French resortwear darling Vilebrequin on a custom uniform collaboration so chic you may find yourself eyeing your server's bucket hat as much as the wine list.
