Now, through Appetito’s Sunday Shop, I’m ready to share those insights with you.
This is meant to be a casual, quick look, but I’m always happy to expand on inclusions. Feel free to email morgan@morganhines.com, if you’re looking for more details on any products, restaurants, or experiences—maybe I’ll even write a follow-up piece.

Sweet scent of my dreams: I’m not usually a lover of a scent that is sweeter but recently I have fallen in love with the MARSHMALLOWS Hair and Body Fragrance Mist by Ellis Brooklyn. The scent is meant to provide a “playful take” on marshmallows, milky musks, and vanilla orchid. In my opinion, it delivers. It’s even more delicious than its edible influence. I can’t stop applying. I would recommend this selection for lovers of vanilla.
Hair care on the go: I have a new work and gym bag essential. The Briogeo Dry Shampoo Puff is tiny but packs a punch. This aerosol-free dry shampoo is applied through a tiny puff for targeted touch-ups in between hair wash days. It’s meant for all hair types and textures.
Indoor activities: Dining out is great: It’s my primary weekend activity. But I’ve been on the hunt for active reservations. A few weekends ago, I visited Spin, a ping-pong bar with two locations in the city, and my friends and I had a blast. I’d been to Spin in 2018, not long after I moved to New York City, but I forgot just how much fun this spot is. We played ping-pong for an hour before moving from the table to play giant Jenga. The atmosphere is fun, elevated, and perfect to unwind after a long week. We enjoyed cocktails and a few bar-style bites including nachos and pizza. I’ll definitely be be back soon.
Golden Hour: Every hour at The Golden Swan is, well, golden. The West Village restaurant that takes up multiple floors of a townhouse is the perfect blend of chic, elevated and fun with a menu to match. I was excited when I heard the restaurant recently launched a Golden Hour menu with discounted options including a Martini, a Manhattan, and Cava alongside dishes like Gilda, Artichoke Dip, Fish & Chips, and the Brixton Burger. I sampled some of the menu offerings and cannot stop thinking about the Artichoke Dip, which features lump crab, trout roe served with a garlic baguette, and the Brixton Burger, which is drool-worthy. Golden Hour is available Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
