Last weekend was a whirlwind, amazing weekend thanks to many of you who voted for me in Refinery29's Ultimate Going Out Contest. I was floored when I got word that the Armani Exchange and Refinery 29 teams picked me to participate in my dream night out in New York City. Not only did I get to hang out at my favorite hotspots, I was able to experience it all with my closest friends in the city!

(I did the biggest blogger no-no and forgot my camera battery so the first night was documented with an iPhone camera. Here are just a few snippets of the first day.)

Thank you to the staff at Momofuku Ma Peche for arranging a delicious menu for us! Pictured above is the succulent flank steak and rice fries.


After dinner we were treated to drinks at The Jimmy on the rooftop of The James Hotel. Amazing cocktails with a breathtaking view of the city.


Huge thanks to Julia and Greg from the Refinery 29 team and the Armani Exchange team for being so kind and coordinating a memorable, ultimate night out!
