Here, Andrea encounters Miranda in a rare moment of vulnerability, without makeup. The legendary King Cole Bar, dating back to 1934, tells a story of mixology excellence.

  • American Museum of Natural History - The prestigious American Museum of Natural History was the grand stage for the annual Runway gala.

  • Smith & Wollensky - Watch Andrea’s quick dash to satisfy Miranda’s craving for a steak from this upscale dining spot established in 1977. A fun fact: the name Smith & Wollensky was whimsically chosen by founder Alan Stillman, who picked two names at random from the Manhattan phone book. Charlie Smith and Ralph Wollensky made it onto the opening invitation cards, a nod to Stillman’s dogs, Charlie and Ralph.
