as I said in my last post, I just recently spent a few days in NYC
I have not been to the city in quite some time and was excited to experience it again.
during my last stay, I stayed right on the edge of Central Park in the Upper East Side
on this most recent trip I stayed in the Lower East Side and Soho area.
I loved exploring all of NYC, but here are a few things in Soho and the Lower East Side (other than incredible Spring St. shopping) that made me really enjoy my trip.
our hotel; super modern look yet still very cozy
this restaurant is very small but was filled beyond capacity when we stopped by for take out. they offer amazing meatball sandwiches, meatballs, salads, and other various sides. I absolutely loved the macaroni and cheese!
Baked by Melissa
these bite size cupcakes can be found at literally a hole in the wall. Baked by Melissa is a small "bakery" that sells these fantastic petite treats. the flavors offered are extremely different from your typical cupcake and are all 100% delicious. we tried a variety of flavors including: S'mores, Tie-Dye, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, and more traditional cupcakes such as Red Velvet.
this restaurant features a menu full of comfort food. we started off the evening with a delicious shrimp dish that was absolutely incredible followed by a chicken dish full of flavor.
DGBG Kitchen and Bar
this restaurant is owned by Daniel Boulud and is where "the French brasserie meets the American tavern". the menu featured homemade sausages as entrees or appetizers, we got a spicy sausage to start as well as the iceberg wedge salad, wonderful entrees with the most delicious fries and finished with the souffle chaud pictured above.
gotta love great food in such a fascinating city.
xox.
