I hadn’t seen Clueless until like last year! We’ll have to use that as an excuse to stay in and veg out on popcorn soon! Your place obvi, because I don’t have a TV 😉
You still need to have MUD coffee!! Amazing, delicious, brunch & their coffee is incredible. They also have a truck but I’ve never seen it (but I’m just not far enough downtown during the day!). It’s on 9th b/t 1st & 2nd. Also, have fun in Texas!!! You really will feel like you’re coming home when that plane is flying you over the city on your way back in. I did the first time and it was a crazy, wonderful feeling!
Yes, yes, yes to Shake Shack. Here’s the thing, you’ve gone your whole life thinking you know delicious burgers. But your mind will be blow (I sound crazy…maybe I should stop…haha!).
Beautiful!!
My mom and I are coming to New York in October and we are super excited because we have never been before. Anywhere we should definitely go?!
Happy weekend! : )

We’re rectifying this Clueless matter … IMMEDIATELY.
SO JEALY YOU SHARE AN OFFICE BUILDING WITH TORY BURCH. I. would. die.
I lived in NYC for a few months and I was also mesmerized by the crowds, mainly because I couldn’t believe people would wait in line on cold nights. I finally went and it was every bit worth the wait. I suggest you pick up some Shake Shack, then enjoy it while watching Clueless!

Loved reading this. So funny - I interviewed with Tory Burch in that same building back in the day! I can’t believe you’ve never seen Clueless - it’s definitely a must see. I think it’s on Netflix? Also, I looooove La Palapa! I’m a California girl so I’m picky about my Mexican, and they are great. And you’re for SURE going to want to check out Shake Shack. It’s a must! They are like the only reason I go to Mets games, hehe.
I know you missed your flight today - hope everything worked out well for you!

Loved reading this. Can’t wait to come visit you, see your supes cute apartment, eat Mexican, see the city, and chase these brave and daring squirrels! Hope you had fun in Houston!
Also, Tompkins Square Bagels by my place. Had it once last week and again this weekend for good measure. THE BEST. Seriously. We have to go soon. A & 11th. We’ll get Cafe OST Iced Coffees, bags from TSB and then people watch in the (Tompkins Square) Park!
Hi! I just had to write to you to let you know how much I loved your last post-similar to you, my twin sister and I just moved to NYC as well. We love it here but your post was so relatable! This city is so great, but so overwhelming…not a second to stop and take a breather! Ok-Gramercy Park is private-shocker! We just got our studio in Gramercy and just could not comprehend it was a private park (or whatever that means to NYC’s pretentious elite). To add to your coffee list, I will recommend, Bowery Coffee in Nolita..it’s fabulous. For good Cuban, Cafe Habana is delicious, also in Nolita. I am so excited to explore the East River Running path, as that will be my summer running spot. Rain + NYC don’t mix well, agreed. We had moments where we actually had to learn the ‘hail a taxi down wave’, several people give us their advice on the perfect wave to catch the cabbie’s attention. My twin sister loves SoulCycle too! A mani for $5? I have yet to find this place…the cheapest we have found is $8. Also, Clueless is an awesome movie…make sure you take the time to watch! I look forward to your future NYC posts!
A belated THANK YOU for the coffee recommendations! Hope you girls are loving New York City thus far. Perhaps I’ll be seeing you at a SoulCycle class here in the future!
