Weekend Roundup in NYC: Chillhouse, Smorgasburg and The Shady Ladies

Chill at your will at the newly opened café-spa Chillhouse on Essex Street, an all-in-one relaxation zone where you can get a cup of joe, an epic artistic manicure by Lady Fancy Nails, or pop in for a 50-minute ($69) or 80-minute ($99) massage depending on your mood. Or all three if you’re feeling indecisive. Chillhouse is the younger sibling of Den Hospitality’s The Garret, Dinnertable, and Dullboy – and just as cool. 149 Essex Street.

Georgia O’Keefe: Living Modern at the Brooklyn Museum takes a different spin on the artist, exhibiting details of her identity and progressive persona, key paintings and rare photographs. Georgia O’Keefe rose to international acclaim for her paintings of otherworldly blooms, landscapes and scenery of New York and New Mexico, and continues to be a symbol of feminism today. Brooklyn Museum, March 3 – July 23, 2017.
