I LOST MY HEART IN NEW YORK, AND FOUND MY SOLE. I am an insatiable shoe addict and a traveller in every sense. I love getting into my shoes and setting out to explore the world. The cities and its people, its style, its attitude and of course, its shoes. I am the man behind India’s newest shoe collection PAUL & FINCH, designed by New York. And here are my favourite 5 things to do in NYC.
A LIVE TV SHOW TAPING Where? Rockefeller Centre What to wear? PAUL & FINCH classic laced up anchor shoes, very showbiz!
Being part of a live studio audience? Trust me it’s fun! Call up your buddies to look out for your beaming face or your out-of sync applause on the next episode of The Tonight Show. Or maybe you prefer the madness of Saturday Night Live or the Late Late Show!
A BAGEL CRAWL Where? I have my favourites listed. What to wear? A comfortable pair of PAUL & FINCH urban explorers. New York has the best bagels! In the universe! Stroll across the NYC “bagel belt” and hit the best Bagel spots the city has to offer - Russ & Daughters, Sadelle’s, Black Seed Bagels...and everywhere else you wish to indulge!
DRINK ON A ROOF TOP Where? Various locations What to wear? PAUL & FINCH night out collection, party with your feet. There is no better skyline! Even New Yorkers love it! Or a whisky on the rocks while the scrapers light up the night. Grab a seat or find your feet and yes, drink slow.
LISTEN TO LIVE JAZZ Where? My favourites listed below What to wear? Your favourite PAUL & FINCH groove-rs and shakers shoe collection. New York is no Chicago! And thank God for that! The line-up is lively and city slick. You just have to head to The Django at Tribeca’s Roxy Hotel. Vaulted ceilings, vintage lighting, and excellent craft cocktails. Enjoy Old-New York.
The Paul & Finch collection is available at Regal, Rocia, Atesber and INC.5 stores across selected cities in India.
