Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to do over the weekend. In New York and the Hamptons, there are just too many options. Fortunately, AVENUE’s editors have put their collective heads together and come up with a few suggestions, ranging from a late-summer blockbuster to a pop music festival. What unites them all is that they’re worth your time.
Crazy Rich Asians
We’re calling it now: Crazy Rich Asians is going to be the hottest movie of the summer. Let yourself be transported to Singapore and enjoy laughs, love and luxury with the Young family this weekend. Just don’t forget your Birkin.
