The altruistic entrepreneur, creative director and native New Yorker—Kai Avent-deLeon thoughtfully shares a few NYC destinations that are close to her heart.

DINING: Place des Fêtes, 212 Greene Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

"My favorite restaurant at the moment is Place des Fêtes in Brooklyn, but I'm really enjoying cooking at home more right now. I've just been playing around with unexpected flavors like jalapeño relish paired with mashed sweet potatoes or roasted figs with black garlic nut cheese and pomegranate seeds. It's a practice that reminds me to play more."

CINEMA: Angelika Film Center, 18 W Houston St, New York, NY 10012

"My dad would take me to Angelika almost every Sunday and it's what made me fall in love with films."

MUSEUM: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028

"As a native New Yorker, The Met just reminds me of my childhood growing up in NYC. I love the Guggenheim, too."
