Fedora


Fedora--walk downstairs off the cute little west village street and you'll find yourself in Little Wisco. Fedora has a great bar area and delicious food--a little pricy, but worth it for a nice night out.




Small World--Princeton, NJ

Some of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Plus they're so mini and cute!

Thanks sis!


Joe the Art of Coffee


Yum coffee in the west village.





Tortaria

Delicious, fast Mexican food with a twist--and watch out, the chorizo definitely has a bit of a kick!

Amy's Bread--Cake

Amy's famous cake slice--the most perfect buttercream. 


The Standard Grill


Fun place, by lots of other good eating/drinking/shopping options--right below the High Line.

Hyatt Place--Shelton, CT

Why I love the Hyatt I stayed at in Shelton, Connecticut.... 

Just a little snack set out for me, just because 

Tertulia


Tertulia on 6th Ave. Seamus Mullen, Spanish--tapas--nice decor, small place but well-executed.





Eataly

Delicious greens + pinenuts + balsamic from the Verdure restaurant in Eataly--all vegetable dishes.

Levain Bakery


Levain bakery. Best chocolate chip cookies in NYC. Especially when drag out of the oven. Ginormous cookies of the gods. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip cookie is delicious as well... Who am I kidding, everything there is delicious.






Fatty 'Cue

Fatty 'Cue on Carmine St.--excellent meat with unique combos of flavors.

Closed now, as did their Williamsburg location I believe--Fatty Crab may still be in existence.



Tartine


Brunch at tartine in the west village--reasonably priced, cute to sit outside if the weather is nice.

Incredibly well-made pasta--fresh-made in-house, and an unusual combination of flavors and ingredients with perfect results. Well done, Sara Jenkins.

Ost Cafe


Good coffee, a small shop where people can be found working quietly on their laptops.

Heav’nly Donuts in Connecticut. Pretty darn yum.

Cooking at Home

Roommate dinner--teeny apartment, big dreams. 

Sweet Revenge


Homemade roommate dinner plus a trip to Sweet Revenge down the street for some cupcakes and wine… Classique combo, oui?


The Roasting Plant


Chocolate chip cookie from the Roasting Plant. One of the best in NYC. Plus the selection of coffee beans drag ground shooting across tubes in the store is pretty fun too.

Market Table


Sister meal at Market Table in the west village. Great restaurant--nice, but also a cute little neighborhood place. The chocolate terrine with salted caramel popcorn was delicieux!









BAR Mashed Potato Pizza--New Haven, CT

Mashed Potato Bacon Garlic Pizza at BAR in New Haven, CT. So delicious it’s not even funny. Plus the BAR salad is the first salad that I liked a teeny bit of Gorgonzola in… Growing up y’all.


And yes, I know these are great pictures. You're welcome.







Peanut Butter & Co.


Peanut Butter & Co. we might have gone a little overboard… Peanut butter and bacon sandwich, peanut butter banana and honey sandwich, peanut butter cookie, and a slice of peanut butter pie to top things off… No regrets.







Colicchio & Sons


Colicchio & Sons—salted caramel doughnut holes and a taleggio, asparagus, and prosciutto pizza
