This New Ayurvedic Wellness Haven In Chelsea Will Awaken All 5 Of Your Senses

Written by Site Adminstrator on . Posted in Blog.

Tranquil, mindful spaces certainly seem few and far between in New York City, but this new Ayurvedic wellness collective that just opened in the heart of Chelsea will soon change that!

Dubbed OASES, the collective will encompass a restaurant, all-day café, and bazaar once fully open–the café and bazaar are now open and the full-service restaurant, bar, and event space will follow closely behind.

And all we can say is prepare to have all five senses awakened!

OASES is poised to transform the city’s holistic landscape, providing a haven for those seeking balance and rejuvenation amidst NYC’s hustle and bustle.

Founder Sonam Sangmo brings her Himalayan and Buddhist upbringing in India to each distinctive and carefully curated space, mindfully rooting each in the Ayurvedic principles of balance and harmony.

The 4,755-square-foot sanctuary seamlessly fuses contemporary aesthetics with ancient influences alongside soft curves, a serene color palette, and lush foliage.

And those Ayurvedic principles follow through to OASES’ culinary and beverage program, which emphasize fresh, seasonal ingredients as well as ancient recipes aimed at promoting holistic well-being.

Making use of their serene vegetable garden, the café serves nutritious breakfast and lunch options along with beverage options including high-grade Japanese matcha and teas from around the world–and we cannot stress enough how delicious their matcha is!

The OASES Restaurant and Bar will, once open, offer nourishing epicurean dishes, natural wines, and bespoke cocktails.

Housed adjacent to the café is the OASES Bazaar, a vibrant space to shop consciously.

A selection of eco-conscious products crafted by local artisans from around the globe are offered across five categories: Organic Pantry, Health & Wellness, Clean Beauty & Body care, Home Wellness, and Creative Wellness.

Products include everything from organic Vermont maple syrup and natural supplements to clean beauty products from around the globe, meditation cushions, and tableware and linen goods.

The Bazaar will also debut a custom line of OASES products that include meditation cushions, temple incense, house-made Ayurvedic almond chili oil, tote bags, and more.

Additionally, an editorial-style wall within the bazaar showcases seasonal collections on a rotating basis, mirroring the process of a fashion designer assembling a new collection.

Sangmo hopes that OASES will evoke feelings of warmth and provide those entering with a transformative experience. She hopes guests will feel like they’ve just stepped into a friend’s home.

The World’s Largest Rubber Duck Is Waddling Its Way To New York

Written by Site Adminstrator on . Posted in Blog.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s actually the world’s largest rubber duck (so technically I guess it is a bird) and it’s making a splash in New York this weekend!

To share with you the sheer size of this ducky, it towers six stories high, reaching more than a whopping 61 feet. But this duck is not alone. She’s accompanied by her duckling, also known as Timmy. But little Timmy is only tiny to Mama Duck as he stands 10 feet tall.

Together the pair already visited Splish Splash in Calverton, New York from August 2-4, but they’ll be back in the state from August 16-18 at Playland Amusement Park.

If you’re visiting Playland, all you’ll need to do is purchase an admissions ticket to the amusement park and your entry will give you access to see Mama Duck and Timmy.

“We are thrilled to feature the Big Duck for our second annual Duck Days of Summer at Rye Beach,” said Evonne Keeler, Chief Executive Officer of Playland. “Mama Duck brings her oversized love and joy around the world, and we are excited to have her swim up the Long Island Sound to Playland. All weekend, we will feature fun games, giveaways, photo ops, fireworks, and live music.”

The world’s largest duck is set to continue its roadtrip after making an appearance at Playland with proceeding stops in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Virginia Beach, and Springfield Georgia.
