New York: Roman and Williams Guild

Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, aka interior design visionaries Roman and Williams, opened their New York flagship store in Soho this past winter. The duo’s home designs mingle with thoughtfully sourced items from around the world and one-of-a-kind antiques. It’s okay to get lost in all the pretty happening around you: Standefer and Alesch want you to stay a while. Take a break from the city in the library, and bring some of the magic home with a bouquet from Emily Thompson Flowers. In between, make time for French-tinged dishes at La Mercerie, from cheese plates and oysters to buckwheat crepes with a cocktail or glass of wine. The best part? The chic glasses and plates and everything else on the table are all for sale.
