Mikimoto x Chrome Hearts collaboration, Remedy Place in Soho, more NYC events

Each week, Alexa is rounding up the buzziest fashion awards, hotel openings, restaurant debuts and popular cultural events in NYC. It’s our curated guide to the best things to see, buy, taste and experience around town.

What’s making our luxury list this week? Remedy Place debuts in Soho, Francesco Clemente sets the table and Tom Gold Dance returns for a one-night-only performance.

For one night only, ballet lovers can enjoy a one-hour performance by Tom Gold Dance at the Marlene Meyerson JCC. This year’s performance, with live accompaniment by pianist Joseph Liccardo, is set to works by French composer Emmanuel Chabrier as well as Soviet jazz composer Alexander Tsfasman. For those unfamiliar, Tom Gold was a 21-year-old member of the New York City Ballet, ultimately as a soloist. He worked with legendary artists, including Ruth Page, George Balanchine and William Forsythe; readers of a certain generation may remember him as the Nutcracker Prince—a role he played for many years. This year’s performance by his dance group takes place on Thursday, November 14 at 7:30; tickets are $32 at TomGoldDance.org

Everyone needs goals and ours is to book Manuela ASAP. The recently opened restaurant, at the corner of Wooster and Prince, is owned by Artfarm, an independent hospitality and development company founded by Manuela and Iwan Wirth. If these names sound familiar, it’s because they, with Ursula Hauser, are behind the blue-chip art gallery Hauser & Wirth, with over 20 outposts worldwide. Artfarm, on the other hand, owns almost a dozen properties including restaurants, bars, members’ clubs and hotels in the US, Spain and the UK.

Manuela is their first in New York. It’s a colorful space filled with artists’ works and not all of them are on the walls. There’s a crazy chandelier by Mika Rottenberg, chairs by Matthew Day Jackson and a table and rug by Rashid Johnson in a private dining room. Their menu represents a “rigorous commitment to regenerative agriculture, local purveyors and artisans,” and half is plant-focused. Brunch service begins tomorrow/November 9th, with lunch service debuting on Monday, November 11th. Manuela-NYC.org

While we’re on the subject of art and dining, Francesco Clemente is the sixth artist to be selected by Ginori 1735 for their “Reborn Project” and just debuted two sets of tableware — “Si Tu Savais” and “Grisaille Self-Portrait” — for the old brand. Each individual piece in those services was hand-painted by the renowned artist and exhibited at Lévy Gorvy Dayan in conjunction with his recent exhibition there, “Summer love. Every plate is a painting,” he said in a video that Ginori posted about the range. “It’s a small collection of my paintings.” The debut also coincides with the opening of Bar Clemente at 11 Madison Park, which also features new works by the artist.

Here’s one we didn’t see coming: the Mikimoto x Chrome Hearts collaboration that debuted today. It’s an eleven-piece collection, including earrings, charm bracelets, a necklace and a safety pin with “classic chrome heart motifs in 18k gold and diamonds paired with akoya and white south sea pearls.” There are also four pieces, each in an edition of two, that they are describing as “handcrafted”. The collection is available at select Chrome Hearts and Mikimoto boutiques, including New York City. ChromeHearts.com and MikimotoAmerica.com

When Jonathan Leary opened the first Remedy Place in Los Angeles four years ago, it was an instant hit. Leary, who has a doctorate in chiropractic medicine and had a private janitorial practice while planning what would become Remedy Place, clearly knew his audience. Billed as “The World’s First Social Wellness Club”, it aimed to “blend ancient medicine with modern technology to create a holistic approach to better health”. Vitamin IV? Check. Acupuncture, cupping and ear seeds? Check, check, check. Ice bath? Several Kardashians have posted about them. As if that wasn’t enough, the space itself was absolutely gorgeous, dressed in soothing neutrals and infused with a personalized scent. NYC got the first Remedy Place outpost two years ago in Flatiron, and the second just opened in Soho. The club can be experienced à la carte or through membership. RemedyPlace.com
