on my last full day in new York i woke as usual super early and as my friend had her birthday we went to eat our breakfast at a lovely brunch place by Tribeca named Bubby´s , all their products are organic and they buy directly from small farmers land , the interior was cosy and the food portions more than generous
and i loved what they did outside the door , blue bench and flowers ..
the coffee alone was worth a visit ...coffee flower ..mhh..
That is my pancakes !!! 3 enormous pieces with bananas and bacon on the side ... i love New York just for that : you can change anything on the menu ! they are so customer oriented and most people have food allergies so you can ask to be served things on the side and made on mesures ... nam nam !
the menu explain were the philosophy of the restaurant ..
funny drawings on the walls ..
moi ....en route to bleekers street in a taxi ..
thinking really hard ...mhhh...i am also going to indulge in a Magnolia bakery cupcake or....
NOT !!!
I was DYING to buy this horribly heavy book about the 30 years of Grace Coddington at VOGUE but had to postpone as the day was barely started and i could not bare to carry heavy bags all day ...
And that other double book of my two favorite fashion photographer Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinooth Matadin...
time for a short pause in front of that cool wall !
And we were hungry again so we stopped at this lovely french inspired small restaurant in the village ..
where for once all the portion were so.... petite ... how normal :)
i had a duck salad and my friend a lemony chicken breast ...( notice i am a bit hungry as i write this blogpost :)
cool bike shop.. how i wish we would have some bicycle trolley like that in this city ...
And later a little trip at the Jerome Dreyfuss shop on Broome street , wall to wall with his wife Isabel Marant shop , my friend had seen my gold bobby bag from jerome and wanted a similar one ...
the shop was huge with lots of cool details , all the bag names were printed on the floor in big letters and all the bags were hanging around in a artful way..
i am looking forward to start again with Jerome Dreyfuss bags at Shine next season !
when we came back home my friend had received a birthday surprise !! a huge 10 litter home made banana pudding made after the Magnolia bakery reciepe and served in a large see-through container :)
nam , she prepared spoons and soon we were allowed to dig into this delicious cake ...witch i should not forget to say was handmade by none the less than the gorgeous Sunniva :)
late afternoon we got dressed to go to a secret birthday party were we had to wear training outfit :)
shhhhhhhh.....
i took it literally so back in my LULU ( www.lululemon.com ) and sneakers ...but my friend had a chic`er alternative but still she had all her outfit ready in her H&M marni bag ....
the shops in front of were i am staying are all right as well :)
Stella , LV ....etc...
i keep the rest of that day for a later post because its rather Fab :)
it is about were we went that evening ...na na na ...
SEE YOU LATER :)
