If you’re a fan of Bethenny Frankel, then you already know that she’s a natural-foods chef, New York Times best-seller, nutrition and wellness expert, television personality, and new mom with the body of a 21-year-old. Busy women everywhere look to Bethenny for life guidance, and she recently spoke at Renaissance Times Square to dish out some of that sought-after advice.
Drugstore.com asked the quintessential modern mom to meet with bloggers in NYC to discuss the products from the website she and her family can’t live without. From Ziplock bags to St. John’s Wort, Bethenny revealed her personal shopping list to the writers at Renaissance.
Bethenny is an inspiration to hard-working women everywhere and we can’t help but say it… she’s a Renaissance Woman.

Any R-Lifer worth his salt in sequins knows what a good party will do for the soul. It won’t exactly soothe it, but it will definitely bring it back to life.
We hit up the Renaissance New York Hotel 57’s launch party in search of just that kind of resuscitation. We weren’t disappointed.
Renaissance New York Hotel 57 hosted a private event for our top group customers and Maya Azucena Band brought the house down with her soulful performance. For more information on this Grammy winning artist who has shared the stage with Roberta Flack, Joss Stone, Platinum Pied Pipers, and John Legend among others, check out her myspace page. She’s one of many hidden gems that Renaissance seeks from time to time to share with you, our guests.
In the good old days, speakeasies were saucey joints filled with well-dressed drunks and women belting out sad tunes.

Rat-a-tat-tat, baby. Jazz has always been an improvisation. We like to scat as much as much as any R-Lifer, but sometimes it’s simply best left to the professionals. Take jazz pianist Eric Lewis, for example, when he took the stage at last Wednesday’s VIP kickoff at the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel for the Atlantic Magazine’s “First Draft in History” event.
