Abs May Not Be Made in New York, but Memories Are! (Part 1)

We had such an amazing time in New York!  We ate a lot of great food, saw a lot of sites and did a LOT of walking!  I wanted to share some of the pictures from our trip!

Jason and I both gained 4lbs during our trip.  I budgeted for 5 so I call that a success! 

We had a lot of amazing coffee!

Can't remember the name of this cafe but it was close to Highline Park. 
 
Little Collins
Little Collins is Australian owned!  It reminded me of my friend Jerome :) This was my favorite coffee by far!
 
Gasoline Alley supplied me with the best donut I've ever had!
 
Sweetleaf in Long Island City, Queens
Sweetleaf has such a cool motif.
 
 
And we ate some of the best food ever!

 

Beecher's Handmade Cheese - You can't have fancy cheese without wine!
 
Keens Steakhouse
Keens was exceptional!

Some random bagel place.  Probably the best bagel sandwich I've ever had.

Shake Shack - I could eat one of these every day and never get sick of them!
 
Montorino Pizza - Brussel Sprout Pizza was delicious!
 
Had a drink  and dinner at the Grand Hyatt courtesy of Angela Mauro and Jose Moscoso! Thanks y'all!

Katz's Deli - I've never had Pastrami and this was just WOW!
 
Cafe Henri in Long Island City, Queens - Our first food experience in NYC!
 
Clinton Street Baking Company - Pretty long wait just to get something to go but a nice treat!
 

Gray's Papaya - Who knew a hot dog could taste so good!

Baked by Melissa Cupcakes - I can't even describe how good these little things are!

Ferrara Bakery and Cafe in Little Italy - Only two of these pieces were actually for Jason :)


In Part 2 I will share pictures of the sites we saw!  NYC is unlike any other!
