Cheap and Chic on the UES

Jess Zaino, Style Producer for "The Chew" and Cheap Chic Shopper

NY – I’ve been a downtown girl most of my life. Actually, I’ve been a Brooklyn, Soho, Tribeca, East Village, LES girl to be exact. I’ve raised a glass and kissed a boy or two in a good percentage of bar bathrooms in the downtown section of New York City. Things are not so rock n’ roll these days.
