00:06California has always been my first love but New York has just always had that special place in
00:12my heart so today I'm meeting up with Refinery29 editor Annie Greenberg and she's gonna show me
00:18around Chinatown and New York and we're just gonna have so much fun exploring the city.
00:23hey how's it going good morning oh yeah I love this neighborhood it is so vibrant and there's so
00:34many cool things everywhere I wanted to meet Annie because she's just this really cool personality and
00:40I think she just has a really unique style and approach to her wardrobe today I think I'm gonna
00:45take you to one of my favorite stores warm Winnie the owner is really awesome and they have some
00:49great gifts and clothes so we'll do that and then I was thinking we could go eat dim sum dim
00:55sum this
00:56one's amazing and then I was thinking just to have a little bit of fun and we can go to
01:01the Chinatown
01:02arcade yes so I heard that this store is pretty special yes I'm so psyched it's right up my block
01:11which is great but I would come here even if it was a million miles away it's just the sweetest
01:16little
01:16store I've heard so many great things about it I kind of did my research a little bit it's supposed
01:20to be one of those family-owned businesses that has a lot of heart in it how did you get
01:26this started
01:27what was inspiration just spill the beans I grew up in Hawaii moved here and I met my husband surfing
01:34in Montauk we're into the whole travel lifestyle of surf and skate and snowboarding so we wanted to
01:41create a really cozy place that where people can come and hang out and shop a little bit we're
01:46really cool I guess we're just gonna go around and check everything out and I'm I'm excited okay
01:52Chinatown yes one of my favorite things in the shop was the section with a raw denim and it was
02:04just so nice to kind of pick it up and get a feel of it this is like my ideal
02:08silhouette kind of high
02:09waisted a little boxy but then straight leg because you can wear a boot with it paired up with a
02:13nice
02:13striped top or you know some some good sneakers hey yeah the books I can you can never have enough
02:20photo books I think it just makes the house feel warmer more special candles soaps I mean and aside
02:26from that the store just looks damn good so it's really not much not to love this hat though put
02:32it on
02:32okay it's like I think I need it like for New York weather this is amazing well I worked up
02:42an
02:42appetite and I think it's time for lunch all right I'm for it so I was pretty stoked that Andy
02:52was
02:53gonna take me to get some dim sum especially in Chinatown so when the elevators open the store was just
02:58buzzing with so much energy and the servers just going around with these little cards and people
03:03having to pick out whatever they want which is kind of like a typical dim sum but just imagine the
03:08busiest street of New York City in Chinatown with authentic Chinese dim sum and great company
