Rooftop Pancake Bar

I'm lucky enough to know what it's like to have a rooftop in NYC, but adding a pancake bar to that...I think I know what our weekend plans are going to be. Check out more pictures here.

why can't every day be Sunday?

Clinton Bakery

When was the last time you waited 1 hour and 40 minutes for brunch? For me it was last Saturday. Trust me when I say this place is worth the wait! Clinton Street Baking Co. is known for two things: pancakes and their buttermilk breakfast sandwich. Now, I'm NOT an egg person but this sandwich may have converted me. You simply must go and see for yourself!

Il Brigante

While exploring South Street Seaport one night after work this week, I came across this perfect Italian restaurant. It was so cozy inside. For dinner, I had the Rigatoni all Norma which was cooked al dente. Besides my Moms, I truly have not had that good of pasta since I lived in Florence. For dessert, we split the Pignolata della Cassa. Which in short, is Nutella, white chocolate, and crushed pine nuts on top of sweet foccacia bread. Yeah, exactly.

Go, go, go!

Love,

Us.

Lombardi's Pizzeria

Want to go the first-ever pizzeria in the USA? If you live in NYC you're in luck! My sister, cousin and I ventured downtown one night this week to Lombardi's pizzeria. It had such a first-generation Italian charm to it, but enough about the decor. We ordered the large pizza with extra-mozzarella (naturally) and meatballs. It was amazing!

Go, go, go!

Love,

Us.

If you have a thing for chocolate you need to see a very wise bald man and he will help you. This is the place where I go when I don't want to be judged for having dessert followed by dinner followed by dessert.

Recommendations:

Chocolate pizza with peanut butter & marshmallows

White chocolate hot cocoa

...oh and the real food is very good as well (they dust their french fries with cocoa powder).

Love,

Us.

snow, snow, snow

Ok, ok. So it wasn't this bad today, but you get the point.

My favorite cities...

New York, New York

Don't you just love this city.

As hard as it is being away from home & family I never take this beautiful city for granted. I few weekends ago I took my big, scary camera out for a walk in central park and this is what I found.

Hope you enjoy these pictures and this perfect fall day.
