This past weekend Caleb & I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary. To celebrate, Caleb planned a weekend of hitting a few of my favorite places in New York City, along with a few new spots. It was such a fun weekend! We grabbed a couple FLYJOY bars and headed for the subway.  I get completely hangry and always need to keep a healthy snack on hand, so I always keep a FLYJOY bar in my bag at all times. Plus, they are made with all natural ingredients and are dairy/gluten free!

We started our weekend by having high tea at The House in Gramercy Park. The House is a cute little brownstone built in 1854 and is an absolute must when  you come to NYC. We actually bought their Pulsd deal & are already thinking about buying another one. Their high tea deal right now is too good to pass up!

After high tea we ventured a couple blocks to the Union Square Farmers Market. This might be my favorite farmers market in the city. It is so good!! Between the organic produce, fresh flowers and general array of items, you could spend a couple hours there. If you are in the city over the weekend, you must at least walk through this farmers market.

After the farmers market we headed to China Town for foot and body massages. It reminded us a bit of Thailand. It was so relaxing and nice to get out of the heat for a little bit. Oh, and did I mention the massages are only $30-45 an hour?

After massages we explored Little Italy. We found the cutest little headband stand on Mulberry Street. The designer has an etsy shop & I am already dreaming of events we can attend so I have an excuse to buy a mask, fascinator & 1920’s style headpiece. We finished the day with a pizza and bottle of rosé at L’asso {another Pulsd purchase}. Their Alla Roba pizza is to die for- gorgonzola, poached pear, walnuts, truffle oil and balsamic.

The rest of the evening was spent wandering around the cobblestone streets of SoHo. It was a perfect Saturday!
