Working closing with the Opera Gallery, Bagatelle unveiled their latest art installation from Seen, one […]

In every corner of the five boroughs lie endless opportunities for culture and entertainment, most of which are unbeknownst to the average citizen. Summer Stage is a free concert series sponsored by the New York City Parks Department that aims to bring free music to outdoor spaces across the city.

If you have ever seen some of those reality shows that are geared towards brides and grooms, then you know how stressful it can be to plan a wedding and make sure that everything goes off without a hitch.
