MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IN NYC

I love New York! It's one of my favorite places to be. Shopping, walking, seeing, doing, and more walking. I'm sharing a list of my very favorite things to do and see in NYC. Here they are!

FOOD/DESERT-

Momofuku/milk bar: One of my TOP favorite ice cream places. I get Cereral Milk which is milk ice cream and cornflakes sprinkled on top!

The Polo Bar: be sure to make a reservation ahead of time. I like to get the Tuna Tartare. My mom and I love the Salted Carmel Ice Cream Sundae created with Ralph's caramel corn, peanuts, whipped cream, and warm chocolate sauce.

Todd English Food Hall in The Plaza: A M A Z I N G lobster rolls at "Luke's Lobster". Seriously though, a must have. There is also a delicious pastry stand called "Lady M"! A sweet mini doughnut shop, Doughnuttery, recently opened.

Balthazar Restaurant: OMG. Iconic French in NYC. One of the most amazing meals I've ever had. PASTA!! The pasta there is a solid choice. Can't be underestimated for their large and extensive menu. Brunch there is my favorite. Try the sour cream hazelnut waffles with warm berries or the scrambled eggs in puff pastry (similar to a popover).

Snowdays NYC: Shaved cream is an evolution of Taiwanese and Korean shaved ices. It combines the fluffy texture of snow with the taste and creaminess of ice cream. Try the cream milk with honey drizzle or coconut with Capt'n Crunch. AMAZING!

TO SHOP-

Bergdorf Goodman: MY DREAMS. Bergdorfs is a palace of all things fashion, couture, and fabulous. There is a great documentary was named,"Scatter my ashes at Bergdorfs". Well stated and so true. Each level brings new excitements and discoveries. Photo below...

Comme des Garçons pocket: Lots of unique "Comme des Garçons" pieces you wouldn't see otherwise. From stripes to solids to hearts this place has so many wonderful options for tops and tees.

Glossier: A makeup company whose first priority is skin and makeup is second. Products range from face masks to their widely known "Boy Brow" brow gel . One of my favorite items are their lip balms. They have a full variety of flavors and scents. Recently they released "Birthday cake" a collaboration with the Milk Bar. I picked up both mint and coconut.

Kirna Zabete: Best assortment of high end bags, clothes, swim, and shoes. Super fun to see. They have some pieces you might not see anywhere else. Visual wall full of popular quotes in neon lights.
