There’s a reason New York is known as the city that never sleeps. Of course, there are plenty of obvious spots to head to that never get old – Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, Coney Island, need we go on? But there’s nothing quite like recommendations from a New Yorker, someone on the ground who knows where the best bars hidden in the nooks and crannies sit, where to get hot wings that always hit the spot, or the legendary restaurants where you’ll end the night having seen a star-studded face and having eaten a pizza you’ll be thinking about for days. Galleries in TriBeCa that house exciting contemporary artists sit in the same city as vintage shops with 1920s négligées and suiting. We had art director, designer and founder of the New York and LA-based publication Friend Editions, Oliver Shaw, share his very own if-you-know-you-know guide to NYC. Enjoy.
