Some November snapshots

Somehow I let November get away. Between what felt like the constant visitors, the piling up work, the everyday, I managed to avoid this blog entirely. When I moved here, I promised myself frequent updates, constant reminders that I am indeed doing New York. But somehow I managed to forget my camera whenever real excitement was going on. So here are a few pieces from here and there, camera photos, phone photos.

Earlier in the month, Amber, Lili, Lili's fiance Nathan and I had a very delicious brunch at a very hipster Williamsburg joint called Enid's.

I had the huevos rancheros which were fantastic

My favourite time of year.

Over American Thanksgiving, my mom came and visited. We had a blast. Mom stayed with me in my cozy apartment and we just did everything we both love: ate, shopped, and galleried. We did Black Friday with skill, getting some amazing deals at some of my and moms favourite stores: J.Crew, Madewell and Artizia. We saw an amazing Willem de Kooning retrospective at the MoMa, and we ate, oh we ate. We had lunches at Eataly and the Hampton Chutney Co., dinner at Torrisi Italian Specialties, Red Rooster in Harlem and Boulud Sud. It was truly a NYC staycation. Excuse the quality of the photos, most were taken on a phone.

And so was November.
