I love seeing new bars and restaurants in New York City open, and its an even greater pleasure to photograph the new spaces. Tommy and his team have done an amazing job designing this high end cocktail bar and restaurant with a beautiful stage. I'm looking forward to getting back there in the coming week to photograph the food and drinks. It looks like they have an incredible selection of spirits. Take a look at their website here - Fine & Rare

Interior Panoramic of Fine & Rare Bar and Restaurant shot with an iPhone 7 plus
I've been working on shooting interiors and open spaces with my iPhone 7 plus. The new camera on the phone does an amazing job and is starting to become usable in low light. The files need a little more processing, but are starting to look useable and can be a fun way to document a new restaurant.

Winter Wonderland Ball at the New York Botanical Garden
Now in its 17th year, the Winter Wonderland Ball remains NYC's most fashionable party of the holiday season, a blacktie event featuring cocktails, dinner, and dancing in sight of the Haupt Conservatory's twinkling holiday display. Begin the evening with cocktails under the dome of the Palms of the World Gallery, toasting the Holiday Train Show® amid an expanded exhibition of trains, bridges, and tracks—a New York landscape in miniature built on decades of tradition. Afterward, join fellow guests in the Conservatory Tent for a party unlike any other, with gourmet dining, followed by a night of swirling gowns and perfect playlists. This event supports the Garden's world-renowned Children's Education Programs, allowing children of all ages the opportunity to learn about nature through workshops and hands-on activities.
Bluestone Lane are a relatively new Australian specialty coffee shop that now have 6 locations across NY. Their newest location is inside the "Church of Heavenly Rest" on the Upper East Side (90th and 5th) and the space is incredible, designed by Julia Sullivan of Caswell Design. For examples of their other locations please see here and here.
