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.
