Retro Girl in a Modern World: A Vintage Lover’s Guide to Drinking & Dining in NYC with Nicole

Nicole’s popular blog and instagram, Darling in Dots, chronicles her New York life as a ‘Retro Girl in a Modern World.’ We sat down over a couple of cosmopolitans (as New York City girls do) to discuss the best retro dining spots in NYC. We talk Breakfast (literally) at Tiffany’s, a cocktail lounge inside a 1960’s aircraft, and a speakeasy you enter through a vending machine. We also couldn’t resist discussing our mutual favorite bar’s history with Sex and The City. Hope you enjoy!
