Spring is finally here and I'm enjoying not wearing tights whenever I can. This monogrammed cashmere sweater is one of my all time favorite pieces of clothing that I love pairing with anything, so this time I wore it with my new teacup patterned skirt and very ready for spring to stay.
The Albertina is showing the "Young Hare" by Albrecht Dürer 1502 for the first time since 2003!
This "Field or Wild Hare" as it is also known, was locked in a vault 4 stories below ground for the last decade, but will now be exhibited along 100 masterpieces of the founder's collection, Prinz Albrecht of Saxony. Dürer's watercolor painting is acknowledged as a masterpiece of observational art, inspiring me to take these pictures.
Breads Bakery is pretty well known in Greenwich Village and the Union Square area and most certainly well worth a repeated visit. Whatever you do, don't leave this place without taking some cheese sticks with you for later! The pastries are impeccable and they even had a stand at the Armory Show this year.
One of the things I dislike about eating at Umami is that they have the calorie count written on next to everything on the menu, but I tend to just completely ignore it and munch away at their perfectly delicious burgers. They don't take reservations, so I always put down my name and then take a walk around west village and return to the restaurant when they text me that my table is ready.
Thursday night I went to dinner with my friends Emma and Luca. We were craving carbs, so we opted for some solid Italian food at Eataly.
It's a concept store, where you can simulataneously do grocery shopping and eat at the variety of restaurants they have. They divide the restaurants by type of food, so you can have appetizers at "La Piazza", or the "Rotisserie", fish at "Il Pesce" or meat at "Manzo". There are endless options. The wait can be a bit long, so we put our names down for a table at "Pizza e Pasta" and went to have antipasti while we waited.
Isn't this little guy just too cute? I get it, I definitely want some of that bread too!
We had buffalo mozarella and a selection of prosciutto, ham, salami and cheese with a whole lot of bread and olive oil.
By the time we finished our antipasti our table for pizza and pasta was ready. I took my obligatory pasta head shot and we headed over to our table. We shared pizza with fresh buffallo mozzarella and gnochi in truffle butter.
To end our meal we went to the sweets section and had hot chocolate and salted caramel and raspberry gelato as we walked home.
