- apple seeds
-
Location: Chelsea
The Stylist and I are both gaga about apple seeds. It’s a state-of-the-art play-space for children and families, big on education, fun and safety, short on attitude.

- American Hotel
-
Location:
When I'm in Amagansett, I tend to lay pretty low. When I DO venture out into the fray for dinner, one of my perennial favorites is the American Hotel in Sag Harbor.

Grace developed her downtown edge during a ten-year public relations career at every fashion house worth mentioning. She left that career after her second child, and with a third on the way, she’s concentrating on parenting for a while. While many families move uptown to raise their families, she’s staying put in her newly-renovated SoHo spread. She still runs with a fast crowd, even if she has to push a stroller along the way. She also makes the time for important family-related causes like BabyBuggy, a foundation that provides services for the health and well-being of underprivileged children. She prides herself on having the best-dressed kids at playgroup, and swaps tips with celebrity-mom friends at various mothers’ groups she attends. She travels extensively, so she knows how to keep things light and fun despite a larger load. Apart from parenting, she’s gone through several downtown apartment renovations, so she has recommendations for those types of service providers. She’s big on research – especially when it comes to her family’s health, happiness and education.
