Editorial Review for Henri Bendel – by Danielle Bernato

The Scene
Surprisingly unpretentious, Bendel's qualifies as a veritable "land of pure imagination," where, with a swipe of blush, a stroke of eye shadow or a flourish of lipstick, you can unleash the glamazon within. You'll feel like a kid in a candy store. The customers include pretty people in Prada, moms with a thing for fancy skin creams and tourists who love to lay it on.

The Goods
Don't forget to check out the upper floors--aside from hip brands like Pout, Kima Terramare, Kevin Aucoin, Tarte and OleHenriksen, there's also a slew of posh trinkets, beautiful bags and of-the-moment clothing to be had in the rest of the store.

What a gorgeous Chocolate Bar Cafe Henri Bendel now has! I was the first one in the door for the grand opening and ladies- Alison Nelson adds mischief to manners with her modern take on high-society savoir faire. Chocolate Bar at Henri Bendel is truly a devilish playground, where mod meets marvelous! The staff is fashionably attired in a chic, cap sleeve mini dress by Alice + Olivia and its feminine, yet eclectic desig, including creamy leather couches, eye-catching graphics and a simply stunning chandelier, not to mention the best darn hot & cold chocolates this side of Tiffany's! The space just oozes charm and is perfect spot for Bendel girls to have a quick coffee or a leisurely meal. When spying todays menu I saw savory selections such as chocolate sandwiches!!!! gourmet soups and mixed greens—including a return of the legendary Bendel’s Salad! mmmmmmm. Click those heels up to the third floor, pronto!

Pros: Barcelona Sandwhich, Cold Hot Chocolate, Italian Tuna Salad with small Italian Soda!!
