Earlier this week, Team Smith hotfooted it to New York’s Cooper Square Hotel – the edgy East Village stay looming over the Bowery – for lunch at the Trilby, its new Euro-style comfort-food eatery and bar.
Taking its name from the tiny titfer so beloved of Frank Sinatra (and countless Hoxton hipsters since), this laid-back lounge [...]
Stuffed Botswanian hyena, early-1900s chalkware carnival figurine or limited-edition LP with your latte, ma’am?
Brooklyn’s Black Gold is a dark horse on BoCoCa’s sunny, stroller-packed main strip. This café in New York is a coffee shop cum cornucopia of carefully curated curios, perfectly out of place in the leafy, gentrified neighbourhood where Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, [...]
This week we bring you not one, but two hotels worth hollering about: a double dose of metropolitan cool. Purveyors of haute hotels, the team behind Soho House has a way with super-stylish stays. Isn’t it time to find out what all the buzz is about at their Berlin and New York outposts?

Congrats to Brits abroad, Ben Towill and Phil Winser (below), the oh-so-creative team behind The Fat Radish on the Lower East Side, just round the corner from Hotel on Rivington in New York. When I was in town recently interviewing for an editor to join our team at our new office on Broadway (we look [...]
Start spreading the news… Mr & Mrs Smith has an office on Broadway!

Following up on our interview with Amanda Wakeley earlier this year (not to mention her chic weekend packing tips post), we’ve delved further into her non-stop fashion life to bring you all the best tips from her international travels.
Here, the OBE-bestowed British fashion designer, brides’ best friend and all-round wonderwoman reveals the most stylish [...]
Just in case yesterday’s sweetly mouthwatering NY ice-lolly postcard got you in the mood to book a trip to New York, we thought we’d give you a handy run-down of hotels within a lolly-stick’s throw of Popbar (not to mention brilliantly located – see our SoHo hotel map, right). Here’s Mr & Mrs Smith’s star-style [...]
Native New Yorker turned ethical shopkeeper Elizabeth Kiester (her behind Cambodia’s Wanderlust lifestyle stores) has nobly agreed to add blogging for Smith to her rosta of Wonderwoman-worthy activities. In her first post for the Smith Travel Blog, she reports back from one of her regular New York trips (to keep up with her fashion roots, [...]
Former fashionista Elizabeth Kiester gave up a crazy-glam-hectic New York lifestyle (complete with full Sex and the City trappings, requisite high heels and sashimi-platter lunch dates) to give something back to the Khmer people she’d fallen in love with on a trip to Cambodia.
She sold her apartment, packed her bags and [...]
This week, our prize-scooping hotel is a decadent den in a rather smart corner of the city that never sleeps. Numerous 24-hour options aside, we reckon you’ll be hankering after a nap if your bed happens to be at The Surrey hotel in New York…
