east village date night – superiority burger & evelina

24 Tuesday Nov 2015

i finally made it to superiority burger during a low key night in the east village.  their menu is entirely vegetarian (and can be made vegan upon request), and while their “burger” selection remains the same, the sides are always changing.  i am not sure this was the best veggie burger i have ever had, but it was pretty darn good.

dinner at the nomad

21 Monday Sep 2015

if i had to pick my favorite restaurant in nyc, it would be the nomad, hands down.  i remember my very first unforgettable meal here years ago with some of my closest girl friends, and i have been fortunate to go back several times since.

here are some pictures from a delicious meal i shared there a few weekends ago:

some cocktails to start.

abc kitchen

12 Tuesday May 2015

i had an impromptu dinner at abc kitchen with a dear friend last week.  we didn’t have reservations – just walked in early on a monday and ended up snagging the table of a couple that had cancelled their reservation.

abc kitchen has been on my list for a very, very long time, but i was never able to get a decent reservation time/day.  i was so happy to finally try it – and it was worth the wait.

sorry in advance for the crappy iphone pictures.

with love from nyc

09 Friday Jan 2015

i think a lot about where my clothes come from, and how i spend my money.  when possible, i try to support small businesses, companies that produce in the usa, and companies that are committed to environmentally sound business practices.

only hearts nyc is a company that fulfills all three.  they have been in the business for 33 years, and all of their products are produced in the garment district in nyc.  i love that these adorable organic cotton navy briefs are in some ways a love letter to my favorite city.

living room now

when i moved into my apartment, i had this grand idea that i would do a series of “before and afters” after each piece of the apartment was completed.  well, a year later, no single room is completely done.  the bathroom is going to get a new shower, i have no lamps in my bedroom (or artwork), and the kitchen is still awaiting a backsplash.  so, i thought i would show you the current state of my living room.

not much as changed since my last apartment, though it certainly feels more spacious since my place is much bigger.

living room 1 the purple stools are from target (sold out now).  side tables are ikea, and sofa is mitchell gold liam.  the acrylic cubes are pb teen, but i can’t find them online anymore.living room 2 wooden lamp is from jcpenney.living room 3 my gallery wall as grown considerably since this post.living room 4 tv stand is ikea.  that empty corner will get a chair at some point.living room 5these roses were just too pretty to not have their close-up.

chelsea flower market

11 Saturday Oct 2014

i woke up extra early this morning and met my dear friend jill at the chelsea flower market (thanks jill for the iphone pictures!).  every morning, monday through saturday, west 28th street between 6th and 7th avenues becomes an urban flower and plant oasis.

as tempting as it is to sleep in and do nothing on saturdays (or basically everyday), i rejected my inner lazy bum.  and now, i have gone to the flower market, sat in a cute cafe and had coffee, arranged my flowers, and posted on my blog, and it isn’t even noon yet.  i have been so productive that i have no qualms about sitting on my butt the rest of this rainy day.

oh btw we went a little photo happy.

IMG_3599 IMG_3604 IMG_3606 IMG_3607 IMG_3608 these flowers were as big as our faces.  i loved them.IMG_3609 IMG_3611

the spoils of my trip (i wish i remembered the flower varieties but these kinds of things don’t stay in my brain):
