GROCERY DELIVERY: I would recommend using InstaCart for deliveries. Specifically Food Bazaar for groceries. They have in-store pricing and their produce and meats are good. Also a good selection of food.

Ok, so our housekeeper is nowhere near this fancy. Ana is amazing and very tidy. She will do your laundry, tidy your messes and of course is a great housekeeper. She is from Ecuador- You will need to use G Translate to communicate directly with her.
If you want extra cleaning you can let me know and I’ll arrange it for you. She has a key and will let herself in and you can let me know what day/ time is good. She charges $40/hr and I typically have her in for 4 hours for a regular clean. (The house is deep cleaned before each guest so you wouldn’t need much). You would pay her directly either via cash or online payment options.

Mimi's Nails on 3rd Ave/ 91st St is by far the best nail salon I've ever been to. The Spa Pedicure is fabulous. Their gel and powder manicures are really amazing- they stay pristine for quite some time. Ask for Amila. She is my personal fave. Tell her “Wendy says hello!”

This is where you want to go for discount designer clothes. They have buses from Manhattan that take you directly there.
Pro Tip: When you arrive, buy luggage at the Samsonite store first and then fill it up as you shop.
