After a long week of work, I took the train (yay!) to New York on Friday to visit two of my oldest and best friends, Leah and Julia. Like most trips to New York, it was completely exhausting but really fun.

I visited some old standbys:
1. Max Restaurant in the Lower East Side: I try to go here with Leah every time I am in the city. It’s a little Italian place that never disappoints. This time I had this Veal Scaloppini/prosciutto/white wine/spinach/mashed potatoes thing that was absolutely delicious.
2. Redd’s Tavern in Williamsburg. Any bar that has skee ball is okay with me.

And discovered some new favorites:
1. Young Designers Market in Soho: I could have bought something from almost every vendor at this indoor flea-market. The jewelry was simple and stunning, the clothes and accessories were one of a kind and the actual designers themselves were so friendly. Will definitely want to visit again during my next trip!

2. Harefield Road in Williamsburg: fantastic, cheap brunch…tea and mimosa included! Try the French Toast.
3. Mark Bar in Greenpoint: simple, dive bar that serves a mean Gimlet.
4. Le Petit Café in Soho: I don’t know if dining menu is any good, but they have the best soy hot chocolate ever.

5. Veslka in the East Village: Who knew that Ukrainian Soul Food a) existed b) is delicious?
