"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.
Pal Joey
"New York’s City Center Encores series has been on a real roll lately—that Into the Woods! That Oliver!—with very limited runs of classics that spark immediate conversation throughout the city: 'have you seen it yet?' I like to buy a subscription series so the answer is always yes but you can start with Pal Joey directed by tap genius Savion Glover and with some of your all time favorite songs including ‘Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered’. Have dinner at Milos before or after and make sure to buy some black licorice at Myzel’s across the street for intermission." —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief
The Celebration Tour
"Now that Beyonce's blockbuster Renaissance tour is almost over it's time to focus on the next mega tour by a once in a lifetime superstar. To quote Bey herself, that is Queen Mother Madonna. A health scare forced M to postpone her Celebration tour, but it's back in earnest this fall and lands in New York in December. The woman invented the whole conceit of the pop concert as theatrical experience, and this one should be her most euphoric since the heights of Confessions on a Dance Floor." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
Jazz at Lincoln Center
"Looking forward to the signing up for the Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2023–24 concert season, but especially the JLCO With Wynton Marsalis. I am a huge fan!" —Nelida Mortensen, Senior Visual Editor
Renaissance World Tour
"Beyoncé has just four shows left on her Renaissance World Tour, and if you have an opportunity to go—looking at you, residents of Arlingon, Houston, New Orleans, and Kansas City—it's worth every penny." —Emily Burack, News Writer
New York Philharmonic - West Side Story (2021) in Concert
"Need something to do this weekend? Bradley Cooper's Leonard Bernstein biopic doesn't come out for another few months but you can get in the mood early at David Geffen Hall, where the New York Philharmonic is doing West Side Story in concert, performing the soundtrack live to a screening of the 2021 film." —Leena Kim, Editor
Here Lies Love
"It seems strange that the life of Imelda Marcos would inspire a musical, though perhaps it's the only genre short of a Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbaro documentary that can contain her singular, complicated and implausible life. Stranger still that the musical happens to be the best time to be had on Broadway right now, but Here Lies Love accomplishes just that and then some, upending the theatrical experience for audiences hungry for a little spectacle now that Phantom is no longer haunting Times Square." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
New York City Ballet - Jewels
"I love the ballet, and I love jewelry. Enter: The New York City Ballet Jewels. Fauré for Emeralds, Stravinsky for Rubies, Tschaikovsky for Diamonds. Oh my!" —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant
La Boheme
"Going to the opera is such a special experience. La Boheme is one I've seen many times, and it never gets old." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion and Accessories Director
American Ballet Theatre
"I am very excited for the opening of the American Ballet Theatre's fall season. Piano Concerto No. 1 will open the Fall season on October 18 led by one of my favorite dancers, Calvin Royal III." —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor
Billy Joel
"Billy Joel recently announced his decade-long residency at Madison Square Garden is coming to an end in July 2024, and you bet your bottom dollar I'm snagging myself a ticket before next summer!" —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
Brett Goldstein
"Ted Lasso may be over, but my love for Roy Kent will never end. I'm getting my fix this fall by seeing Brett Goldstein's stand up act when he comes to NY in November as part of the New York Comedy Festival." —Erin Hobday, Executive Managing Editor
The Breeders
"The fuzzed-out chords of The Breeders might immediately call to mind the 1990s, when the band was an alternative-rock phenomenon, but they sound just as good today—especially when the reunited group is playing in a theater with seating, much appreciated by fans of, ahem, a certain age. This month, they're landing at King's Theater in NYC—ahead of a major stint opening for Olivia Rodrigo on her upcoming tour—and both me and my inner teenager are absolutely thrilled." —Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Director
Jessie Ware
"Jessie Ware's What's Your Pleasure? was one of the seminal albums of the pandemic. Between her and Dua Lipa, we had dance music for our deeply dark times. Now, she's back with an equally euphoric follow-up called, appropriately, That! Feels Good! And it's got some bangers like "Beautiful People" and "Freak Me Now," which she remixed with the great Roisin Murphy. Her upcoming concerts at Terminal 5 are required appointments for New Yorkers in dire need of a dance party." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
