Spring In The City


As the weather starts to warm up, this weekend some friends are visiting and its the perfect excuse to try some new spots! First up, somewhere I've been wanting to go forever, Employees Only, a speakeasy themed bar and restaurant in the West Village. After walking through a curtain and past a tarot card reader, it suddenly turns into a dark bar, with candle light and lots of people, with a small area of tables for dinner. We quickly sat down and ordered beautiful drinks and dinner. Bacon wrapped lamb chops and duck confit salad were a hit! It was a great way to start off a long weekend!The next day after a day of shopping and fun, we went to one of my new favorite spots, Morimoto for an incredible dinner and then decided to grab dessert and drinks at The Standard Hotel. Our chocolate mousse came with spatulas and more chocolate than I could ever eat, it's officially the best chocolate mousse in the city! The night continued with lots of bar hoping through the Meatpacking District.
Saturday we watched the NYC pillow fight and then enjoyed the nice spring weather before one last night out on the town before my friends had to get back to their normal lives and the gym after too much chocolate! We had our last weekend meal at my second home, Trattoria Del Arte; with some burrata, pizza and prosciutto! A city fit for a foodie, and her friends of course!
