NYC is a fairly spectacular place to live all year round...but there's nothing like it at Christmastime. Yesterday morning, I swung by Bryant Park (the ice skating rink also has a pretty fun bar adjacent to it - we went last year around this time with some friends) for the Grand Opening of Real Simple's Pop-Up Shop - a must if you're in NYC.
The Pop-Up Shop is full of the kinds of gift ideas that are the reason you (or at least I) love Real Simple: inventive and practical. Like Mario Batali's new cookbook, tons and tons of foodie items...and Christmas tree decoration organizers (want).
