Weekend brunch is a way of life, one I terribly miss during the pandemic. Although I can’t go out to support my favorite local eateries, I order in a lot! If you’re planning on visiting New York in the future (or live here and looking for a new place to try) check out these small businesses! SOHO Short for “South of Houston”—pronounced HOUSE-ton, not hews-ton—Soho is a must visit neighborhood. Chic, cobblestone streets, fabulous shopping, and great street style. Check…
If you’re visiting New York City, it’s imperative you check out some art! I’m a huge art lover and seeing art around my beautiful city is one of my favorite cultural activities. After years of countless gallery crawls, opening days at exhibits, and standing in line for viral art pop-ups, I’ve gotten to know the art lover’s scene pretty well around here. I’ve curated a list of my personal favorite places to see art around the city. The Metropolitan Museum…
Although I avoid the top-rated TripAdvisor tourist traps of my beautiful city, there are a few places that hold a special place in my heart: the Met, Grand Central Station, Bethesda Fountain… and Tavern on the Green. Hidden in Central Park West, right next to Sheep Meadow, the restaurant has undergone drastic changes in the last few years—hiatus, redecorated, new management—but it still screams “Iconic New York City.” When my friend Diego told me Tavern wants to collaborate I said…
Next time you find yourself in my neighborhood, Battery Park City, and hungry, you should check out one of my favorite spots, Beaubourg. The French brasserie is located in Le District, the French equivalent to Eataly, at Brookfield Place and there’s no shortage of good views, good people watching, and most importantly good food. I immediately said YES when my friend Diego told me they wanted to do a collaboration. I’ve been wanting to officially add Beaubourg in my New…
Nestled right off the corner of Mott and Prince streets in Nolita, is one of New York’s most popular eateries, Cafe Gitane. It’s small, it’s packed, it’s delicious, and it’s filled with beautiful downtowners and visiting Europeans brunching on their avocado toasts. I absolutely love this little place! It’s the perfect spot when you want to go somewhere low-key (as in, no tourists, but still a fashionable crowd) and affordable for quality food. Lines can get very long (that tends…
Last weekend one of my blogger babe friends, Marilyn aka The Lunar Phase, hosted a brunch at Dr. Smood. Dr. Smood (SMart-fOOD) is a Danish based organic boutique café with locations in Miami and now New York. We were completely spoiled with countless courses of delicious meals from salads to sandwiches and all kinds of fresh press juices. Now you know I’m as carnivorous as they come, but I’m still as healthy as I can be and these plant based meals…
