Supper at Double Crown - Bowery, New York

On Wednesday night we took 3 fashion bloggers out for dinner to Double Crown. The photos aren't great as they were taken on my iPhone 4, but the food was delicious.









A taste of England in NYC


We walked from the Apple store on the corner of 14th & 9th to Soho as it was a gorgeous sunny day 
and after a hectic week, it was great to just stroll through the neighbourhoods. 
We came across this store full of English fare! 


Best brunch - Baltazaar in SoHo, NYC

On my last day in New York, we headed to SoHo for brunch at Baltazaar, a New York staple. I have eaten lunch there before, and was excited to be going back for brunch with the girls.

I found the bloody mary's in NYC not amazing - is it the tomato juice that is too sweet? But Baltazaar's was good, and after a Saturday night out eating, drinking and dancing, it was very much needed.

My Eggs Bella Donna were out of this world. It's been a while since I had brunch that was this good. Polenta, spinach, egg whites, pancetta and a slice of Parmesan on top.
