Haute Living: What are the members\u2019 clubs actually worth joining?<\/p>\n

\"\"\/Nikole Powers:<\/strong> In New York, much like London, members\u2019 clubs are essential. The Twenty Two, Chez Margaux, Maxime\u2019s, San Vicente Bungalows, and Casa Cipriani each offer something distinct. Depending on your mood, the occasion, and where you live throughout the year, all five are worth joining.<\/p>\n

HL: Which is your members\u2019 club of choice?<\/p>\n

NP:<\/strong> 5 Hertford Street in London is my absolute favorite. When I\u2019m in New York, considering I split my time between the West Coast, I rely on San Vicente Bungalows. But when I\u2019m craving that London sensibility, I would choose The Twenty Two.<\/p>\n

HL: What is your favorite NYC bar?<\/p>\n

NP:<\/strong> The Bowery Hotel<\/a> bar, without a doubt. It\u2019s classic, cool, and always delivers the right vibe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HL: What is your favorite place for a night out in New York City?<\/p>\n

NP:<\/strong> People\u2019s NY, Bar Bianchi, and Jean\u2019s. They all offer a great night in totally different ways.<\/p>\n

HL: What, in your opinion, is overrated in New York City?<\/p>\n

NP:<\/strong> January. I really can\u2019t stand January in New York; it\u2019s bleak and overrated. Nothing truly happens, and it just feels off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HL: What are you packing for a trip to New York City?<\/p>\n

NP:<\/strong> My favorite leather coat from Nour Hammour<\/a>, the blackest pair of denim<\/a> I own, my favorite Arakii dress<\/a> that I\u2019m obsessed with, Julietta jewelry<\/a>, and my Le Sundial belt<\/a>; it pulls everything together.<\/p>\n

HL: What is your beauty regimen when you are there?<\/p>\n

NP:<\/strong> If I can carve out the time, I head to the Diane Barri\u00e8re Spa<\/a> in Tribeca; it\u2019s my go-to. Skincare-wise, I have recently fallen in love with Plated<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Members clubs are everywhere.
