Central Park is offering free senior portraits at the Conservatory Garden next week
Calling all Class of 2025 grads: Central Park is giving you one more reason to celebrate before tossing that cap in the air. The Central Park Conservancy is offering free senior portraits at the newly reopened Conservatory Garden next week and trust us, your Instagram feed will thank you. Photographers will be on site Monday, June 16, and Wednesday, June 18, from 1 to 4 pm, snapping pro portraits in one of the city's most jaw-dropping green spaces. Reservations are required and slots are first-come, first-served, so now's the time to lock in your 10-minute fame window. The Conservatory Garden is made up of six manicured acres of formal gardens tucked into the northeast corner of Central Park, just off Fifth Avenue between 104th and 106th Streets. Recently reopened after a multi-year, $17 million renovation, the Conservatory Garden is looking fresher than ever—think crabapple allées, blooming borders, vine-draped pergolas and fountains worthy of a Bridgerton shoot. Grads are encouraged to show up in whatever outfit suits their vibe, whether it's a classic cap-and-gown look or a stylish statement piece that says, 'I'm done with cafeteria food and AP Chem.' There's no dress code, no awkward studio lighting and no fees, just a stunning backdrop and photo to mark the milestone. And while you're there, it's worth taking a lap around the three distinct garden styles: the French-inspired North Garden with its orderly lawns and fountain; the Italianate Center Garden, flanked by wisteria and yew; and the English-style South Garden, home to the beloved Frances Hodgson Burnett sculpture from The Secret Garden. Portraits will be emailed to students within 10 business days, which gives you just enough time to get them printed before the graduation party—or, let's be honest, to post with a carefully chosen Drake lyric.

Addoni's, Green Park Feels Like A World Of Flavours Under One Roof
There's something incredibly comforting about discovering a place where everything just clicks- ambience, food, drinks, vibe. That's exactly what Addoni's in Green Park, Delhi, manages to deliver. I recently visited Addoni's for a weekend dinner,r and the place felt both luxurious and lived-in. It's a rare balance that this new entrant in Delhi's dining scene nails with effortless charm. Addoni's is a thoughtful blend of world cuisine, cocktail culture, and design sensibility, born from Riccardo Addoni's globe-trotting culinary adventures. First Stop: The Long Bar I began my evening upstairs at The Long Bar by Addoni's, a cosy, English-style bar that surprises you with its unexpected pairing of Japanese food and top-tier cocktails. The vibe? Intimate yet energetic. Soft lighting, plush seating, and enough couches and bar stools to perch yourself with a view. From the bar bites, the Salmon Volcano sushi was decent, but the Prawns Plancha stole the show- juicy, buttery, and layered with white wine and chilli butter goodness. Cocktail-wise, the Heatwave (a spicy tequila-based drink) was a knockout. It was bold, balanced, and just spicy enough to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming them. The Scarlet Tranquility is for those who like their cocktails sweet and fruity. Downstairs: A Global Culinary Tour After a couple of cocktails and nibbles, I moved downstairs for dinner. The space was buzzing- full but not chaotic- with a mix of indoor and lush outdoor seating. Italian-inspired interiors, natural elements, and gentle water features create an oasis that feels miles away from Delhi's chaos. The food continued to impress. The Pomodoro pasta was classic and comforting, while the Carom Marinated Fish Kebab had an interesting texture-soft but slightly chewy-with a decent depth of flavour. My pick from the drinks downstairs? The Mango Picante- a spicy-sweet cocktail that danced beautifully on the palate. I also tried the Fennel, but found the fennel flavour a bit too forward for my liking- those with a strong palate might appreciate it more. To round it all off, I indulged in the San Sebastian Cheesecake... and wow! Possibly one of the best I've had in Delhi. The beautifully charred top, soft cake base, and perfect trio of chocolate syrup and strawberry compote made it unforgettable. What sets Addoni's apart is not just its menu or cocktails, but the experience it curates. It flows effortlessly from tranquil daytime lunches at the Fresco kitchen to lively evenings at the Long Bar- and soon, into late-night revelry with the upcoming private club, Cici. It's world cuisine with a heart, cocktails with character, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay just a little longer.
