NYC Elite Back From Hamptons Before Heading to Florida
- Recent Covid lull brought some comfort, but winter is looming
- Customers tell one spa owner: ‘I’m moving to Palm Beach’
More than 230 pandemic-chic women in $1,500 skirts and $200 jeans picnicked in Central Park. Titans dined at Amaranth, Fleming and Sette Mezzo. And every afternoon, well-dressed children flooded out of their private schools.
For the past two months, New Yorkers have returned from the Hamptons and have sought to reclaim their city with familiar rituals, showing some of the ties that bind. In September, there was promise. Joggers, strollers, doormen, begonias and then mums offered a sense of normalcy. There was even a new location of the beloved Butterfield market to check out.
