Balthazar






Moules Frites & Escargot

This bottle of wine was about half my age!

Cote de Boeuf for two


Light sorbet to finish off the meal
Balthazar is my favorite restaurant in NYC. It is French food done beautifully. Check out sberryandlemons.yelp.com for my review. It was a wonderful dinner filled with decadent food, impeccable service and great company. Can't wait to go back.

Pretty Stores

 
 
 
This store is so cute! It's very sweet and you almost wish it was your bedroom! These glasses with polka dots are definitely on my wish list this year! They carried a lot of cute items for the home. The ladies at the store were so helpful and very friendly! They made me want to spend the day there!

Shake Shack

 
 
 
Thrilled that a Shake Shack opened right around the corner from my sister's apartment! It's spacious and actually a legit restaurant and not just a "shack". There actually was no line! I walked right in and straight to the counter. Easy, breezy, beautiful. The burger reminds me of In-N-Out. Little in size, affordable, fresh and packs a big punch. The bun has a "Hawaiian Bread" flavor and is a little sweet. I still prefer In-N-Out, but when I'm in NY, this is where I'll get my fix.

Compost Cookie?!

 
 
These cookies at Momofuku Milk Bar really live up to the hype. They are amazing! If you want to avoid the frenzy at the East Village location, check out the location Midtown near the Chambers Hotel. It is quite and calm and has all the cookies. They don't have the full menu, but you can still get your fix. I got the Compost Cookie, Corn Cookie and Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookie. They are rich, satisfying and affordable at 3 for $5! Also, at this location, they let you sit in the Chambers Hotel while you eat your snacks.

Seasons...What's That?

Love the sight of seasons changing. The trees, colors...

Limelight Marketplace

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is it a church? Is it a club? Is it a marketplace? Actually, it's all three! Well, it's currently acting just as a marketplace. This is an interesting little spot. The building is an old church that was converted at one point into a night club. But just recently it has been once again made over and now it's a place for food and shopping! You can get gelato, coffee, cheese, bread and more. There are little booths that sell jewelry and other trinkets. It's a fun little place to indulge your stomach and soul!
