classy new york adventures with marissa

It's really lovely having visitors, and this weekend I hosted my friend Marissa from Toronto. I welcomed her to NY with a trip to Murray's Bagels, and then we ran back to my apartment to get ready for our evening adventures. We met up with my friend Caroline around 3:30 and headed to the Met (the museum, not the Opera company). Our whole plan was to take advantage of the Met's Saturday Balcony bar, complete with a string quartet, and roam the museum through the evening. We even got all dressed up!

Yummy cheeses with fig jam and lots of white wine

compost cookies, candy bar pie, oh my!

What a better way to spend a Thursday evening that indulging in all manners of insane deserts at the Momofuku Milk Bar? Part of the Momofuku empire of restaurants, this little place is just 5 minutes from my apartment, and is a total adventure for your taste buds. So Caroline and I went a little overboard cause it was our first visit. We got: Candy Bar Pie, French Toast Soft Serve, Birthday Cake Truffles, Apple Pie Truffles and a Compost Cookie. Whatever, you would too.

Just a small taste of what we got: Candy Bar Pie and French Toast Softserve Ice cream
