New York City

As I was sitting at desk reminiscing over my New York album, I had the sudden urge to write a post about my epic trip back in September. A few months ago, I travelled to New York City with my six of my closest girlfriends to celebrate our birthdays (four birthdays to be exact!). It was a short weekend, but we obviously made lots of time for shopping and some good eats.

Warning: Do not look at these picture if you are hungry. I am not kidding!


Pulled Pork Sliders at Byrant Park Grill


Caprese Salad at Bryant Park Grill


Avocado Sandwich at Bryant Park Grill. Just want to note that this is no ordinary sandwich. The red pepper relish is really special.


Here is a better view of this deliciousness. Loads of avocado combined with the red pepper relish, party in my mouth.


Blackberry lemonade at Cafeteria.


The Mac Attack at Cafeteria. A delicious trio of mac 'n' cheese.


P.E.I Mussels at Cafeteria. We ended up drinking the white wine broth, just saying.


Cobb Salad at Cafeteria.


Our table. I just wanted to note that I can only be friends with girls who actually eat.


Last meal in NYC, Eggs Normandy at Cafe Mogador. Hands down the best eggs Normandy I have ever had. I believe they smoke their own salmon.

There are more pictures, but unfortunately some of the pictures did not turn out very well. The first night we were there we had dinner at Morimoto (Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant) and the food was great. We ordered this delicious foie gras dish, scallops, European sea bass and cod. For my birthday dinner, we went to Palma and it is this cute Italian restaurant. I honestly felt like I was transported to Tuscany for the evening. We ordered Caprese salad, Spaghetti alle Vongole, and Ravioli stuffed with kale and mushrooms.

2010

2010 was an amazing year, it was definitely a year of growth, change and lots of eating of course! I also started this blog about a year ago and I hope to continue to write more. I was just on my friend Kelly's blog and she inspired me to do a little recap of 2010 as well. In no particular order, here are my top 10 in 2010


Birthday trip to NYC. The highlight of this trip was going to Kleinfeld's for the first time and meeting Randy in person. He put on my girlfriend's veil, it was a very sweet moment.


After completing PR school at Centennial College, I landed an internship and a full-time job offer at Strategic Objectives. I also met some fabulous PR people along the way.


The Miso Black Cod at Ame. Hands down, one of the most delicious dishes I ate in 2010. I still think about it from time to time, yes it is that good.


Epic dinner parties with my favorite people.


I have stalked this bag for a year and when I had the opportunity to buy it in New York I hesitated. It was a huge regret, but I ended up buying it at a discount in Toronto. I think it was meant to be.


My girl crushes, Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley. They are gorgeous, talented and have amazing taste and style.


Stars concert at Massey Hall


Ordering many rounds of Uni (Sea urchin) sushi with my family. We are obsessed.


Discovering stylemepretty.com was pretty major in 2010. I am obsessed with weddings and I visit this blog on a daily basis


Eating the Mac Attack at Cafeteria in New York. The truffle oil mac is my favourite.

Happy New Year!
