What a weekend! We’ve (finally) kissed goodbye to 80 degree temps, we sampled The Wild Son’s new dinner menu, we attended Well and Good’s fitness biathlon, and we returned to brunch at Llama Inn. Busy Bitches! To continue the momentum, we’ve selected our best events for the week below.
Monday
Nothing beats the Monday Blues like a bottle of bubbly. During Le Fete Du Champagne Week, which kicks off today, enjoy special champange flights, champagne-themed tasting menus, and by-the-glass offerings at participating restaurants, as well as in-store tastings and special offers at select retailers. Various Locations.

A new season calls for a new wardrobe, so make sure to stop by the Parker sample sale, where you can score new clothes for up to 60 percent off.
