Greetings from NYC. I arrived Thursday night right before the huge storm rolled in. It felt so great to be back with Ryan, and we had a lovely (overpriced) meal inside the Waldorf Astoria.

On Friday I knew I was going to have to entertain myself because he had training all day, so I started off by running into an NYC favorite: Crumbs. I was good that morning and used the Waldorf fitness center, so I was really unsure of what I should do. I opted for an iced coffee and a muffin…the muffin was good, but I should’ve gotten over myself and ordered a dang cupcake.

I walked about 10 miles that day, and I especially loved the quieter and tree filled Upper East Side. When lunch time rolled around, I thought Dishes looked pretty busy, so I went in and was greeted by several healthy options. I love how it’s so easy to grab a made to order salad here. I had a spinach salad. On my lap on a bench outside Bloomingdales before I went in to shop.

I was craving something sweet (always) and opened up my FourSquare app to see what was buzzing around me. I slipped into Momofoku Milk Bar since I had heard so much about it.

The menu was kind of crazy and there was even a restaurant back there (Ma Peche) and a hotel! I ended up getting the cereal milk soft serve and a pack of birthday cake truffles. The soft serve was a very odd taste–though they hit the nail on the head with the cereal milk description. The bday cake truffles were something dreams are made of. Sugar. Rush.

Afterwards, I walked just about everywhere and oooed and ahhhed over this amazing concept:

What’s not to love? This is definitely on my list for next visit. The best part about my day was finally getting to be with Ryan. (cue the awwwwww’s)

But it’s true!

Bon Appétit,

That Foodie Girl
