25/10/13 Hester Street Fair

We spent the day wandering around the city going to all the outdoor flea markets and farmers markets. Hester Street Fair is located in lower Manhattan at the corner of Essex and Hester. It’s a relatively small market in comparison to let’s say the Brooklyn Flea, but they pack a lot of great things into […]

24/10/13 Westville

Westville is close to our NY office, so my coworkers and I decided to head out for a bite for lunch. Love these post cards they leave with your bill. We start off with some strawberry lemonades! Yum! So pretty… One of my coworkers tells me that the mac and cheese here is delicious, so […]

24/10/13 Ribelle

Ribelle glows in bright red neon at night, the only thing to alert you that this nondescript building in Washington Squsre is Tim Maslow’s new restaurant. Ribelle, pronounced Ri-bell-ay, means rebel in Italian. We arrive around 7 on Wednesday to a half full restaurant, which is surprising. I’m obsessed with the lighting fixtures and the […]

23/10/13 James Hook + Co

Lobster rolls? You bet! 🙂 On a sunny weekend, we walked over to James Hook + Co. James Hook has been an institution in Boston, some of you may remember that they had a fire in 2008 that burned their location to the ground. They sell wholesale and retail. They have tables inside as well […]

23/10/13 Wafels and Dinges

I first heard about Wafels and Dinges on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzUODMwpFE4&w=420&h=315]   Check out the YouTube video to see who won. The liege wafel is a yeast based dough, it is soft and chewy on the inside and a little crisp on the outside, not what you typically think of when you think […]

22/10/13 Legal Sea Foods – Park Square

We had our “second” wedding reception for friends at Legal Sea Foods in Park Square. They printed up custom menus for our guests. Everything about this process was smooth and seamless. We were able to re-use our lanterns from our original ceremony which we bought from Pottery Barn. Flowers were from Chaba Florists, located just […]

22/10/13 The Meatball Shop

I was so excited to try this place. We have their cookbook at home! (GUSH). So we grab dinner on the early side (they don’t take reservations) and it’s a good thing we do because the place fills up quickly! They have tables inside and outside, as well as seating at the bar. Love the […]

21/10/13 West End Strollers

Located in the Quincy Market food hall, West End Strollers features Middle Eastern food. My coworker introduced me to “fingers” a delicious Middle Eastern pastry. At $2.90 per piece, they are pretty pricey, but they are pretty labor intensive to make. Fingers, or Asabi as they are also called, are made from thin phyllo like […]

21/10/13 Le Pain Quotidien

There are so many locations all over New York City. We stopped in at the Central Park location at 58th and 7th which was close to the hotel. The place was crowded with tourists – and all the waiters were in the weeds. I started by ordering a strawberry lemonade that was so tart it […]
