Things To Do in NYC.

To Eat

Please Don't Tell- 113 St. Mark's Place, New York, NY 10009. There are lots of speakeasies in NYC but this is one of the more popular ones. The entrance is in the phone booth of Crif Dogs (yum hot dogs). Call 2126140386 to make a reservation.

Two Hands- 164 Mott St. New York, NY 10013 (Little Italy). A place to get good coffee, juices, avocado toast, an acai bowl, or a baked egg roll. They also have aesthetically pleasing to go cups which makes all the difference!

La Caverna- 122 Rivington St. New York, NY 10002 (LES). I already am not feeling hungry enough to go to a sit down dinner place Saturday night but this can be kept in mind for a future NYC trip. The inside looks like a cave and there is dancing.

Magnolia Bakery- (Grand Central or Penn Station or other Location). Banana Pudding. I hate bananas and I hate pudding but I am a firm believer that every human loves this stuff.


To Shop

Muji- 475 5th Ave. New York, NY 10017. Japanese minimalist home goods retailer. At this new location you can create your own scent, a $3 embroidery station, create personalized cards and bags at the stamp bar and get a succulent.

Story- 114 10th Ave. New York, NY 10011. Story is a space that sells things like a store but changes like a gallery. Their "Feel Good" concept is currently running.

C.W. Pencil Enterprise- 100A Forsyth St. New York, NY 10002. A store dedicated to pencils!! If I go here you will most definitely know it from IG. Every detail of this place seems so thought out, the "subscribe" area on the website even says "we prefer letters to emails but just in case..."

Runners up include Dylan's, the Lululemon flagship, and the COS store.


To Drink Coffee

Bibble and Sip -253 W 51st St, New York, NY 10019 (midtown). I want to try the matcha jasmine latte. They have alpaca latte art. If hungry, the cream puffs are supposed to be top notch. 

Cup & Cup- 15 E. 31st St. New York, NY 10016 (midtown) I want to try the red velvet latte with bear latte art. They are in the process of redoing their menu so food will be a game time decision.

Abraco- 85 E. 7th St New York, NY 10003 (East Village) I want to try their coffee (obvi) and olive oil cake.


To See

Design by Tea Leigh 

Tattly Tattoo Parlor-51 Bergen St. Brooklyn, NY 11201. I love Tattly's temporary tattoos so I want to be sure and check this out. I already made an appointment for Han to get "sleeved up".

Annika Connor's Birthday Pool Party- 125th W. 45th St. New York, NY 10036 (midtown). A birthday party with a swim up bar in January sounds like the makings of a great story. Reminder to get tickets tomorrow if this is happening.

Fairy Tale Fashion- 227 W 27th St. New York, NY 1000. You can see fairy tale scenes and fashions this weekend at FIT for free!

5 Pointz- 45 Davis St. L.I.C. NY 11111. If you want to check out the "graffiti mecca".

Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball. 860 Manhattan Ave. Brooklyn, NYC 11222. I loved playing pinball at my grandparents when I was little. If we need to do laundry or feel like playing pinball and are in the area we can check this out.

When in NYC.

I am going to NYC with my college roommates soon. Roommates sounds like the most commonplace word to describe the most extraordinary threesome in my life. If I say we I am almost always referring to my roommates and I, this can be confusing to some. I wanted to make a list of "just in case things" like just in case we are in the area or are looking for something to do. I 100% want to be go with the flow this trip and not suggest anything unless I need to (am asked). If HONY (lol remember kony2012 ?) wants to talk to me I will be wearing a black tissue turtleneck, nudies, black Converse, and a tbd coat.

1. Alt Space. 41 Montrose Ave. I like several of the artists that have been featured here. Wanna check out the art and clothes.

2. Eloise Boutique. 1 W 59th St. It is probably no secret that I love Eloise. I'll probably get Eloise pencils or another mug if I go. One of the Eloise quotes I find myself using the most lately is, "I always say what's in my head, it makes everything so much easier."

3. Serendipity. 225 E 60th. I will be with the biggest chocolate lover of all time so being touristy and trying the frozen hot chocolate will not take any convincing.

4. Brandy Melville Store 499 Broadway New York, NY. There isn't a Brandy store in Cbus. I know I could go to Pac Sun but that isn't as fun and they don't have this shirt that I want.

5. St. Joseph of the Holy Family 405 W. 125th St- I feel like there is a Catholic Church under a mile away pretty much anywhere in NYC. I am including this one so I do not need to look it up again when there. Mass at 8:30. (at least Jesus will be there if a stalker attacks me)

6. Chelsea Market. 75 9th Ave. There are lots of things that I still want to eat here, # 1 being tacos from Locos Tacos No. 1. High Line Park has some cool views and photo ops that we will check out if we go to Chelsea.

7. MoMa. 11 W 53rd St. I still haven't been to the MoMA (also love saying MoMA) it's free Fridays 4-8. If the gift shop has Pantone presents I will probably get something.

8. SoHo Bloomie's. 504 Broadway. This is the only thing on this list I actually want to make a point of doing because these awesome cake Jars by Dani things are there for a limited time only. I swear I don't only want to go so I can get a good insta pic.

P.S. If you haven't already please download The List App. You can learn a lot about someone from their lists, also Conor Tripler is on it.

P.P.S. If I am more giddy than usual it is because I get to see these peeps in a week.
