May at The Aesthete

It's springtime in New York! Central Park is in bloom, outdoor markets are bustling and a new season of The Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park is about to begin. Cue summer vacation anxiety: Hamptons or Hudson Valley? Rockaway Beach or Coney Island? Still, it's hard to argue that May in New York is absolutely beautiful. 

We have some wonderful stories for you this month. The super stylish golden child of Helen and Bryce, Melia Marden, who opened The Smile and now has a new cookbook out, shares her secrets for serving up tasty, gorgeous meals family-style. Try her favorite roast potato recipe at home or this summer for houseguests (we can't promise your house will look as gorgeous as hers does in this story, but we can, however, promise the potatoes will be delicious). We reconnect with our favorite lady blog ambassador, Jezebel deputy editor Dodai Stewart, to get her take on the Kimye pregnancy, the MET Ball and the appeal of tabloids. You’ll laugh yourself into bikini shape reading the jolly fantastic tales of PAPER magazine’s Mickey Boardman as he dips an arthritic toe into the power fitness pool. Annabel Tollman gets inside the closet of Yves Saint Laurent muse, Liza Thorn. And we help you find the perfect present for the woman who loves you no matter what, with our Mother’s Day gift guide.

To make sure you don't miss anything, follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us an email to info@theaesthete.com. 

Enjoy!
