TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you, Norma. This is a truly extraordinary edition: fabulous listings, beautiful graphics and a delight to read and share. Happy Holidays to you! "

- Anne (New York, NY)

"Think old New York or European open-air markets. At the aptly named New Amsterdam Market in the South Street Seaport, we loaded our basket with leafy local produce, artisanal cheeses, and freshly-made breads. A visit across the street to Pasanella and Son Vintners and Provisions topped off our day. The experience was reminiscent of the old Fulton Street Market, the shaved ice cones my mother would buy me, and the New York of my childhood. Thank you Norma for taking me back in time! "

- Kate & Mike (New York, NY)

"Norma recommended the perfect 'grape escape' in Greenport, an enchanting seaside village on the North Fork of Long Island. We went to Norma’s pick of the many wineries, Castello di Borghese, with a beautiful setting right out of Tuscany. Besides quaint shops, fine dining, biking and golfing, we hopped on a short ferry ride to scenic Shelter Island, then headed back to the newly renovated Bartlett House with its elegant rooms, comfy beds and grand old wrap around terrace! "

- Jenny (New York, NY)

"Norma understands that to a true vintage shopper the art of the find is serious business. When visiting New York, I’m on a budget and on a schedule. I need to find the best shops, the most unique pieces, great service, all in the span of a few hours. Norma zeroed in and narrowed my choices to Tokio 7 downtown, Ina in SoHo and Beacon's Closet in Williamsburg. I not only left with great finds I had time to stroll through all three neighborhoods, visit an art gallery and savor a gelato! "

- Pamela (Orlando, FL)

"If you want to ‘experience’ the soul of New York City, nobody knows more than Norma. Norma has information that the most connected New Yorkers wish they had. I won’t even dream about my next trip to NYC without consulting the lady that holds all the secrets to its endless wonders. "

- Brian (Houston, TX)
