We all know New York is the city that never sleeps. But it’s also the playground of the rich and famous. If you’re ever in the Big Apple, check out some of these hotspots where celebrities dine, shop, relax and party.

After a long flight or drive, first up is the spa. Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz both frequent Exhale, according to People. Located in Central Park South, the upscale spa offers eyebrow waxing, facials and fitness routines, all integrating emotional and physical well being. But, you better be prepared to pay up – the “Eliza’s Eyes” eyebrow waxing costs $120.

Relaxed? Check. Now on to some shopping. Sexy songstresses Carrie Underwood and Beyonce both get their threads from Henri Bendel’s boutique. No wonder these two always look hot. Known for its unique fashion, Bendel has all your 5th Avenue needs.

And now moving on to What Comes Around Goes Around. Jessica Simpson and our favorite foreign fashionista, Victoria Beckham, shop at this stylish vintage boutique to find fashion trends from the last hundred years. Bring your charge card, because a classic pair of Levi’s from the 1940s can cost $3,000.

At this point you’ve definitely shopped up an appetite. In an unmarked West Village townhouse, you’ll find Bobo. The restaurant serves up celebs like Natalie Portman and Orlando Bloom. It’s no wonder, because the pan-European restaurant with antique décor and brownstone serves fresh, local food with a contemporary, personal touch. Hey, if it’s good enough for Orlando, it’s good enough for me!

Ok, enough running around. Time to hit the clubs! Just ask party girl Lindsay Lohan…she knows the hottest bar in NYC. Club Marquee gives you the choice of house, hip hop and rock-n-roll classics.

According to People, the club has three bars and if you’re Jamie Foxx, maybe you can afford the $14,000 bottle of Hennessey. Marquee staffs a hospitality manager to cater to the special needs of celebrities. No Wonder Lohan has been coming here since the club opened!

Fiji

Known for it’s great beaches, relaxation and surfing, Fiji is a celebrity favorite.  The island is also secluded, offering privacy from press and paparazzi.  In fact, Fiji is famous for “hiding” celebrities from the peering eye of the camera.

Fiji’s luxurious Wakaya Club features a small, eco-friendly “world apart” experience. It’s a “green” full-service spa and hotel, where stars can get pampered. Visitors like Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Demi Moore and Oprah have all sunbathed on the hot white beaches of Fiji.

Hawaii

Closer to home for L.A. celebrities, the islands have been a huge attraction this summer.

Helen Hunt, with director beau Matthew Carnahan, played golf, went horse back riding and took in the romantic Hawaii sunsets.

Julia Roberts visited Maui with husband Danny Moder and children Phinnaeus and Hazel.  Australian actress, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen with little Olive have been seen vacationing on the Island, playing in waves.

It’s not just a place for families though, High School Musical starlet, Ashley Tisdale celebrated her birthday with here.

Pierce Brosnan and Kelsey Grammer both own houses in Hawaii and often visit their home away from homes.
