10 Downing Street -
The carefully contrived, cultivated downtown vibe created by restauranteur extraordinaire Stephan Dorian. Set in a lovely corner in the west village the name is the actual address but it also doubles as the PM’s address in London. No liquor license but that hardly matters. Ambience meets style meets gastro fantastic. You’re lucky if you can score a table.
10 Downing Street, New York, NY 10014 (212) 255-0300

COOLEST NEW SCENTS: AVEDA 7 scent chakra series.
A delicious blend of essential oils each one specifically designed to balance specific chakras. Chakras in Indian yogic philosophy are the energy centers in the physical body. A chakra is an area in the body connected with life energy. There are seven chakras in the body - each is an interface for the flow of life energy. Try #2 the ROOT CHAKRA associated with the pleasure center, or #4 the HEART CHAKRA to bring peace and balance in matters of the heart. Try each scent on your body as they smell different on different people. Besides smelling delicious they will bring balance to your life and enhance a sense of well being.

Check out the fantastic new exhibition of Art from the Middle East. (gasp!). Artists from Lebanon, Israel, Iran, Palestine and more. Incredibly moving, with extraordinary execution. And it’s not frightfully packed with so much art that you’re overwhelmed and bored and wish you stayed home in bed with a pot of tea instead.
