Interview with a Local: Anna Ward, Artists & Fleas Market Manager

If you’re local, you have likely been to Artists and Fleas. If not, according to Founders Amy and Ronen, Artists & Fleas is, “Part community gathering spot, part hipster haven, Artists & Fleas has hosted thousands of artists and vendors since opening its doors. It’s a place where buyers find unique designs, artists and vintage collectors in an atmosphere that’s in the tradition of old world marketplaces with a firm foot in what is contemporary, original and hip.”

They say Paris it the most romantic city. We agree but also think NYC isn’t far behind. Here are our favorite ways to spend a romantic day and night in the Big Apple:

1. Visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Guggenheim, then make your way through Central Park down to the Plaza Hotel and warm up with tea or champagne. It’s about a 1.5 mile walk so you can always hop in a cab on 5th Avenue and sneak some smooching in if you get chilly.
