Guy Gifts, Bridal Designer Sale, New York's Hottest Restaurant and more

What a weekend for New Yorkers. Britain's Prince Harry came to town, and left without creating a single scandal. What a charmer he is. And the sell-out of the $50,000 VIP tables to watch him play in a charity polo match just goes to show there's still some money around. And the Obamas had date night here on Saturday. Wanna bet Blue Hill, the restaurant they went to in the Village will be booked for months? But if you want to know if it's worth a wait, check out what Gael Greene wrote about Blue Hill way back in 2004. And who knew the First Lady drank martinis? Yes, indeed, according to the New York Post she had two with dinner. But who's counting? Now that's our kind of tomato.  And we personally think they deserved a night out on the town, especially our town, taxpayer dollars and all. Oh and in case you missed our Mary and Carol Higgins Clark event last week, we've posted highlights and photos.
 
Guy Gifts
Okay, so Tuesdays we usually have the scoop on sample sales around NYC and online ones too that tomatoes might like. But since Father's Day is coming up and June is a big graduation month, we thought, well it can't always be about us. So starting today and for the next couple of weeks, we'll have some gift ideas for the guys in our lives.
 
A sock subscription
socksWe all know about the sock monster that lives in the laundry room. Well most of us, except those guys who rarely visit a laundry room. So here's the perfect gift for busy guys who don't have time to shop or do laundry.  Give them a sock subscription.  Get all the details at 3T Shopping.
 
Tee shirts you gotta love
