What are your top tips for hosting in New York?

The Valse Bleue collection for Tiffany is one of the many that I absolutely love and would include as part of my tabletop display. It has all the elements: elegance, refinement, and a touch of playfulness. The linens and swirled Murano glassware with a pop of gold make it perfect for both town and country.”
