outing
Honey Harvest at Waldorf Astoria’s Beehives
It’s one of New York City's most legendary buildings. And it's keeping a secret.
On a rooftop deck with a sweeping view, 20 stories above Park Avenue, there are bees. Lots of them. In fact, more than 300,000 of them. But don't worry. They're supposed to be there. As part of a unique initiative at Waldorf Astoria New York, six active hives are making honey, to sweeten the dishes served at the restaurants inside.
Join us as we embark on an EXCLUSIVE TOUR of this rooftop operation that provides honey for one of New York’s iconic luxury hotels.

A remarkable novel about secrets, desire, memory, passion, and possibility. Newlywed Grace Monroe doesn’t fit anyone’s expectations of a successful 1950s London socialite, least of all her own. When she receives an unexpected inheritance from a complete stranger, Madame Eva d’Orsey, Grace is drawn to uncover the identity of her mysterious benefactor. Weaving through the decades, from 1920s New York to Monte Carlo, Paris, and London, the story Grace uncovers is that of an extraordinary women who inspired one of Paris’s greatest perfumers. Immortalized in three evocative perfumes, Eva d’Orsey’s history will transform Grace’s life forever, forcing her to choose between the woman she is expected to be and the person she really is.
The Perfume Collector explores the complex and obsessive love between muse and artist, and the tremendous power of memory and scent.

this New York Times Bestseller for advance

It's September, and a calmness and a sweetness seem to fall
Over everything that's living, just as though it hears the call
Of Old Winter, trudging slowly, with his pack of ice and snow,
In the distance over yonder, and it somehow seems as though
Every tiny little blossom wants to look its very best
When the frost shall bite its petals and it droops away to rest.
It's September! It's the fullness and the ripeness of the year;
All the work of earth is finished, or the final tasks are near,
But there is no doleful wailing; every living thing that grows,
For the end that is approaching wears the finest garb it knows.
And I pray that I may proudly hold my head up high and smile
When I come to my September in the golden afterwhile.
