Ok so I have one more NYC post after this one but had to devote this entire post to my favorite spot of the trip…Beauty & Essex (brought to you by Staton Social team). If you are going to be in the city I HIGHLY recommend making a reso at this spot! 
The entrance is literally a pawn shop! You walk to the back and tell the bouncer your name and he will let you through a door that takes you into a 3 story gorgeous restaurant and bar!
Who would have thought this stunning place would have been in the back of a pawn shop?!!!
The energy was high and decor was gorgeous! I had the most amazing cocktail…TheEmerald Gimlet (ketel 1, basil, lemon nectar, fresh lime juice). If your into sweets, the desserts there were out of control!!! I recommend the “Box of Doughnuts” and “Devils Food Layer cake”! 
You have to take a trip to the ladies room (I know its an odd request) But they have a full on lounge and free champagne bar in there!! 
Snagging some free bubbly! (American Apparel velvet long sleeve mini and All Saints Box clutch)
Also, my current favorite spot! I was shocked when I went to the bathroom and got handed champagne! Going back there this Wed! 🙂
Absolutly beautiful, both the place & you.
You seriously could be a Kardashian!

thanks ladies! I seriously loved this place!
@Helena so jealous you are going this week! Wish I could be back there already!
@anonymous you just have to make a reservation. Think you can even do it on opentable.com
Wow! This looks so fun! I love the velvet dress you're wearing too.
You're right! This place looks even better than Little Branch. Look at that chandelier! I could probably pass out on one those couches in the ladies room and be very content with my night 🙂
Omg, this is insane! You're making me want to go up just for the weekend, thanks so much for posting. You look incredible as always.
Thanks ladies!! @ laura j definitely check out american apparel they have some great prints and basic that are pretty affordable too!
