The atmosphere was very lively and energetic. Our waiter was super cool (at one point we wondered if he was drunk). The brunch menu was filled with French-inspired delicatessens....But my eyes were fixated on this menu for longer than I'd like to admit:
(Desserts!!!)
I eventually came back to my senses and started off with a nice cafe con leche:
And then opted for Eggs Florentine consisting of poached eggs and spinach on English muffin drizzled with a delicious Béarnaise sauce:
The other girls opted for French toast and fruit which also looked amazingly delicious. I might try that on my next visit (…and there will def. be a next time god willing!).
After brunch we walked around and passed by the Chelsea Market. I’ve never been there before but you betta’ believe I made a mental note to go in there in the very near future.
We ended up walking to Highline which is some sort train-track turned park (im telling you, only in NY). It is beautiful up there and I’m sure it’ll look even nicer in the summer time. I borrowed this photo from their website:
…I took some photos myself; but still trying to download them in to my computer from the new digital camera. I can be technologically challenged sometimes.
I have lived in NYC for almost 18 years and recently came to the conclusion that I have a WHOLE LOT to explore. What’s wrong with me?! It should be a mission of mine this coming spring/summer to take advantage of all the exciting things in NYC. Stay tuned.
The work/school week has begun (as of yesterday of course) back to the grind! I have midterms in the horizon. Back to focus mode.

I love brunch! I don't think I've ever had eggs florentine, but from your description it sounds delicious. Let's face it, anything with egg and/or bacon is something I will ALWAYS eat!
ReplyDeleteI often feel like I haven't explored my own city enough either. I've lived here my whole life and there are several places I've never been. I need to plan a STAY-cation!
I love the idea of a STAY-cation. Lol…I think Im going to pretend Im a tourist and explore the entire city.
ReplyDeleteThe eggs Florentine was definitely delicious. U should try it!
it's very easy to take your city for granted. we've lived in Sydney for 3 years and i've barely been outside downtown! such a shame because i hear there's some beautiful neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago I came to the same conclusion that even though I lived in Denver longer then any other city, I didn't quite know it. So I started making a plan to explore. I'm still exploring!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet there is so much more to explore in NY! I can't wait to hear all about your adventures!
Looks like Im not the only one who hasnt explored their own city!!! Well, now Im even more inspired to do it! :D.
