NYC: Brunch with Julie at La Pecora Bianca

by Sanne February 26, 2020

I think I’ve previously told you how many nice friends I have met through Instagram, but before Instagram (yes, that’s a long time ago), I’ve also been blessed with a bunch of new friends through my blog (yes, old people like me still blog), and Julie, who writes the blog Jewelswandering.com, is one of them. We have known each other for years online, but we have never met in real life. Even though we both travel a lot, and even though many of our trips have been to the same places, we have always managed to miss each other, sometimes with as little as a day or two.

NYC: The Vessel – Hudson Yards

by Sanne February 16, 2020

Jessica and J came to see me in Midtown, and I suggested that we went for a walk to Hudson Yards and the Vessel. If you’re on Instagram you’ve probably already seen thousands of photos of the Vessel, because since it opened in March last year, everyone with a feed seems to have been there. Everyone except me.

New Jersey: Hot yoga at Life Time Athletic Florham Park

by Sanne February 11, 2020

Life Time Athletic at Florham Park, New Jersey

Tina is a member at Life Time, which is a chain of big high-end gyms in the US, and one morning, she dragged me along for some hot yoga. It was the first time that I tried hot yoga, and I can warmly (pun intended) recommend it. Hot yoga is yoga in a hot room, and you are sweating like crazy so remember to bring a big water bottle, so you don’t get dehydrated.

New Jersey: Dinner at Common Lot in Millburn

by Sanne February 10, 2020

My high school friend Tina has moved to South Orange in New Jersey, so last week I went to visit her in her new hometown. When you’re in Manhatttan, South Orange sounds like a faraway place, but it is only around 30 minutes by train from Penn Station.

Danish Fastelavn bun at Ole & Steen, New York City

Last week I was visiting Tina in New Jersey, and she was craving carrot rye, so she asked me if I could bring her some from the Danish bakery Ole & Steen in New York? Of course I could! So Thursday morning, on my way to Penn station, I stopped by Ole & Steen at Bryant Park.

Lamia's Fish Market in East Village, New York City

Last week I went for dinner with my friend Alex at Lamia’s Fish Market in East Village. It is NYC Restaurant Week right now, so you get a 3-course dinner for $42 at the participating restaurants. Some deals are better than others, so you need to check the menu offer carefully before you make a reservation, to make sure there is something that you like.

NYC: Plant-based dinner at Le Botaniste

Le Botaniste, plant-based cafe in New York City

Last night, I had dinner at Le Botaniste, which is a 100% plant-based café. It’s self-service, but the café feels a lot more upscale than McDonald’s. It is beautifully decorated, and from the outside, it looks like an upscale restaurant.

The Everything Bagel at Zucker's New York City

I’m back in NYC! As a matter of fact, I have been here for almost two days, but I have stayed under the radar, so I could get through my jet lag before making any plans.
