“Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams” the posh Robin Leach used to say after each episode of his hit TV series ‘Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous’ back in the day. I sort of felt like one of his wealthy VIP’s showcasing my luxurious lifestyle as I entered the bathroom of the Lower East Side’s hot spot Beauty & Essex last week and was greeted with stalls on the right and a champagne bar on the left. A bathroom break, sweet chat with the free champagne lady and a nice couch to chill on while my husband waits? Love it.
