Luxury Is in the Bag
Dedicated E-mail: Omni Hotel

You’re on an island (say, Manhattan) eating caviar and washing it down with a first-class martini, a Birkin bag radiating on your shoulder.
Wow, your dreams are pretty extravagant.
And through May 29, it could be your reality. Fireside Cocktail Cuisine at Omni Berkshire Place is celebrating Michael Tonello’s amazing new memoir, Bringing Home the Birkin, with Couture Cuisine, an ultra-luxe menu that pays homage to the coveted handbag. The kicker: They’re giving away a real live Birkin to one lucky winner.
The jet-setter-approved menu, prepared by award-winning chef Sam DeMarco, includes dishes like Bling Bling Benny, a breakfast dish comprised of poached eggs, smoked sturgeon, and confetti caviar, and a Japanese Kobe beef burger appropriately paired with chanterelles and summer truffles! And don’t miss out on the cocktails, like the Berk-tini, a delectable concoction laced with absinthe.
And by all means, enter the contest to win the — get this — $9,000 Birkin.
Because dreams really do come true.
Fireside Cocktail Cuisine, Omni Berkshire Place, 19 East 52nd Street, at Madison Avenue (212-754-5043). Enter sweepstakes online through May 29.
