Raising Kids in Manhattan: Native New Yorkers, Bat Mitzvah After-Parties & "New York Is My Third Parent" — with Mallory Schultz

Send us Fan MailTwo NYC moms walk into a couch — one's leaving for Miami, the other's staying — and a third native New Yorker joins them to make it make sense.This week Eva and Caroline are joined by Mallory Schultz — founder and creative director of luxury event studio House of Mal, former Condé Nast editor (Bon Appétit, Self, Martha Stewart's Everyday Food), and a fourth-generation New Yorker raising her own kids in the city she grew up in.They get into all of it: what it actually means to raise kids in Manhattan, the Bat Mitzvah after-party industrial complex, why "buzz balls" are now a security concern, the magazine girlhood that doesn't exist anymore, Hill schools vs city schools, why Mallory thinks rigid women are the f--ing best, the case against Greenwich (and the missing frozen yogurt), Stockholm Syndrome New Yorkers, and the surprising fact that Manhattan is just one of five boroughs (which Eva did not know).Plus: there's an unforgettable wedding-party-planner-seizure story you'll be repeating at your next dinner.Unfiltered.
