Although born in Pennsylvania, Tory Burch moved to New York City a week after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania. It was from her kitchen table within her Manhattan apartment that she founded her clothing brand Tory Burch LLC. Ten years after Burch founded the company in 2004, she became a fashion billionaire.

With her three sons, the New York fashion designer lives in The Pierre, a hotel near the southeast side of Central Park. Using the colors of the world as her inspiration, Burch designs ready-to-wear fashion that fuses bohemian and preppy styles. In her free time, Burch frequents her favorite restaurants — Lucali and J. G. Melon — and beloved locations throughout the city, according to Vogue. She recommends visiting the Dutch Flower Line at Chelsea Market at 6 a.m. for fresh-cut flowers. Shakespeare’s Garden and Poet’s Alley are also some of her favorite areas within Central Park.
