Brunch on the Upper West Side

 Before catching the train to return home, I was able to enjoy Brunch on the Upper West Side of Manhattan at a cute street-side restaurant called Isabella's. The bread pudding french toast was to die for, and the nearby scenery was absolutely gorgeous.

Sunny Day on Madison Avenue

Early Friday morning, I left my hometown of farmland for a weekend in New York. New York City is one of my absolute favorite places to be. I spent late Friday morning and all afternoon in Upper Manhattan at the American Museum of Natural History and strolling down Madison Avenue. Of course, I picked up some macarons from Ladurée (which were delicious), and did some shopping in Lilly Pulitzer and Tory Burch.

Winter in New York City

New York City is my absolute favorite place on earth. No matter what time of year it is, there is always something to do. In the winter, the Christmas spirit can definitely be felt in NYC; with the Rockefeller tree, the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular, the ice skating rinks and, of course, the cold. I spent this past weekend in Manhattan and had an amazing time. These photos were taken in the Flatiron district of Manhattan right near the iconic Flatiron building. Although it was pretty chilly outside, I was perfectly content in a thick sweater and my favorite J. Crew vest with my warm Starbucks coffee in hand!
