Each week, Alexa brings together the hottest fashion launches, hotel openings, restaurant debuts and celebrity-filled cultural happenings in New York. It’s our curated guide to the best things to see, shop, taste and experience in the city.

What’s on our luxury list this week? Foundrae opens on Madison Avenue, the Brooklyn Museum turns 200 and a beloved Ramen restaurant reopens.

“Before I set foot in the space, I had a feeling it would be FoundRae’s newest home, because of its auspicious address: 777,” says Beth Hutchens, who founded the lifestyle brand in 2015. The interiors of the 1,600-square-foot space, on Madison Avenue between 66th and 67th Streets, was inspired by fashion icon Diana Vreeland’s Park Avenue apartment (note the red hues). The bookcase-lined walls feature a variety of antique and antique books and objects; vignettes tucked between ephemera and kaleidoscopes of FoundRae medallions. Solid gold chains in various lengths, links and weights hang from wooden crescents, encouraging guests to create pieces personal to them. FoundRae.com

“The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition,” which opened earlier this month in honor of the Brooklyn Museum’s 200th anniversary, features 200 artists from the borough. How to choose just 200? Through an open call that resulted in almost 4,000 applications and an Artist Committee led by names such as Jeffrey Gibson, Vik Muniz, Fred Tomaselli and Mickalene Thomas. The museum notes that “participants represent a full range of disciplines, from drawing and painting to sculpture, video, installation and more… together, these works capture the vibrancy of Brooklyn and its artists, who are linked by deeply rooted connections and a shared love for this unique place.” A virtual tour is available on the museum’s website; the exhibition runs until January 26, 2025.

Those whose eating habits change with the seasons will be delighted to know that East Village favorite TabeTomo has reopened after a series of misfortunes ranging from pandemic closures, vandalism and fire. For those unfamiliar, the restaurant (whose name means “food companion”) specializes in Tsukemen or “dripping ramen,” which they describe as “a modern cousin of the traditional Japanese ramen dish invented in the 20th century.” The noodles are dipped into a separate bowl of broth, allowing the consumer to enjoy a much richer broth and firmer noodles.” It’s a bit of an IYKYK situation, but if you don’t, now is the perfect time to educate yourself on all things Tsukemen, especially the 60-hour pork broth.

MoMA’s Design Store is killing it with collaborations – examples with Nike and Bodum are still available on its website. The latest is with Champion, but it’s actually not the first partnership. A MoMA Champion sweatshirt, now in the museum’s collection, debuted in 2017 in conjunction with the exhibition “Items: is fashion modern?” The latest collection features five pieces – a satin bomber jacket, hooded jacket, retro cardigan, sweatshirt and baseball tee – all inspired by the design store team’s visit to the Champion archives in New York and (who knew?) your custom facility in Kansas. City. Priced from $45 to $145 at Store.MoMA.org

Mention “Egon Schiele” to an art lover and they will undoubtedly mention the Austrian artist’s often haunting portraits. But it turns out that Schiele was also quite prolific in painting landscapes. A selection of these works is now on display in Neue Galerie New York’s “Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes” exhibition. The museum notes that with these works “the flowers and trees take on the role of portrait subjects and convey an almost human appearance. Schiele’s landscapes always represent more than their apparent subject. His portrayal of nature and his depiction of cities and trees encapsulate the life cycle and the human condition.” A fully illustrated catalog accompanies the exhibition. On display until January 13, 2025.
