My Favorite Places in New York City

When I was 22 I moved to New York City, and I loved every 2nd of information technology. At times the city seemed overwhelmingly big, and expensive, but I was adamant to make information technology my home, and for two years it was. I went from feeling like an outsider to knowing how to weave my way through the crowds with ease. I found friends, discovered restaurants and bars where I would spend my time, and got a primary'southward degree. 1 twelvemonth after I moved, my sis, Kelly, followed, and when I moved to Chicago, she stayed.

When Kelly and I went to Costa Rica, we flew from New York, and I tacked on a few extra days in the city earlier going dwelling house to Chicago. I had 1 solar day all to myself to explore my favorite places in NYC before my mother arrived (more nigh that in another mail service).

My start order of business was to go shopping in Soho. I honey the mix of loftier stop and affordable retailers, and the vibe of the neighborhood.

When information technology was fourth dimension of a snack I headed over to the Chobani Café (152 Prince St). If y'all remember they but serve up yogurt, you are wrong. Then use their famous yogurt to create an inventive menu of dining options. While there I tried both a sweet and savory options, and was diddled away. The Mango + Avocado is made with jalapeños, olive oil, lemon zest, cilantro, and lime juice over plainly yogurt and served with bluish corn chips. The flavor pairings might seem unconventional, just this was one of the best things that I ate while I was in NYC. I want to recreate it at abode.

I tried the Pistachio + Chocolate from the sweet section of the carte, this combined pistachios, dark chocolate flakes, diced orangish, mint, and honey with yogurt. It was a successful healthy version of a dessert.

I grabbed coffee (well, it was really an iced Chai Tea Latte) with a friend at Maman (239 Centre St), the most darling little independent java store with a large selection of fresh pastries.

I spent lots of time walking effectually taking photos of architecture and murals.

The blue burn escape caught my eye.

And I liked this tree lined cobblestone street.

I discovered the cutest picayune house on the height of a building.

I came beyond the most fun housewares store called Mondiale (20 Clinton Street), and I wanted to purchase everything.

I had lunch at Clinton Street Baker (4 Clinton St) at 3pm. My sister says that it gets crazy decorated on weekends, but I walked correct in. While they are famous for their blueberry pancakes (Kelly loves them), I had to endeavor the Craven & Waffles, and a Strawberry Bellini.

As I walked effectually, I passed some of my favorite hangouts from my time living in NYC. Schiller's (131 Rivington St) is a great bar (you might recognize information technology from the SNL opening credits). It's a bit of a hang out for people in the food and potable industry.

Spitzer's Corner (101 Rivington St) is a fun place to take hold of a beer, and the long tables accommodate groups well.

And I remember hanging out with friends at Gatsby's (53 Spring St).

Then I headed back up to my sister's place on the Upper East Side and walked past The Met, where I spent lots of time when I was in grad school. My professors at Sotheby'southward Institute of Art are curators at the American Fly, and we frequently had course in that location on Mondays when the museum was airtight.

That evening Kelly and I went to Barn Joo (893 Broadway) for bibimbap and dumplings. It was super night inside, then photos were a no-get, but the food was fantabulous. The fried beef dumplings were fantastic.

After dinner nosotros popped into the about darling kitchen store, Fishs Eddy (889 Broadway) where I bought a couple of new food styling props – and a hilarious plate that says, "Hither is your snack dumbass."

Kelly loves Holy Cream (796 ninth Ave), an ice cream parlor so much that she insisted that we go 30 block out of our way, to the other side of town to get it. The peanut butter vs. cookie dough favor was worth the trip.

Finally, nosotros ended our night at the Irish gaelic pub nigh my sis's flat, Phil Hughes. It's a no frills place with a skilful beer selection, sports on tv, and a puddle table. It'due south a neighborhood hangout.

*Note – I walked 25,000 steps this day, and so keep that in mind if you consider this itinerary.
