\"\"Who better to put us in a Downtown State of Mind than the original DOWNTOWN girl herself — Kelly Killoren Bensimon. \u00a0 A proud single mom, Kelly is a writer, editor, equestrian, former model and star of Bravo’s hit TV show, “The Real Housewives of New York.” \u00a0She has become an international tastemaker sharing her favorite clothing, accessories and jewelry online at\u00a0OpenSky<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and is\u00a0an ambassador working to raise money and awareness for\u00a0Feeding America<\/a><\/strong> and Generosity Water<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"We recently had a chance to sit down with Kelly to talk to her about her\u00a0new book, “I Can Make You HOT!<\/a>“<\/strong> (translation: Healthy Options Today) and find out\u00a0how living downtown helps her stay so HOT. \u00a0Here are a few of her NYC staples:<\/p>\n

1. She exercises every day — whether it’s running down Fifth Ave, riding bikes with her girls or taking a\u00a0Soul Cycle<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>class.<\/p>\n

\"\"

2. She loves to cook healthy meals (check out her book for nearly 60 of her favorite recipes) but always enjoys eating at the Nolita comfort food diner,\u00a0Delicatessen<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. She practices the Less is More Rule when it comes to accessorizing and really knows how to purge. \u00a0She’s currently selling her gently worn clothes on TheRealReal.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. When it comes to buying shoes, Kelly says Manolo Blahniks\u00a0are a girl’s best friend — check them out at\u00a0Barneys<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
