Sunday Strolls

beyond blessed-75

In case you missed yesterday’s post, we spent this past weekend celebrating our anniversary, exploring the city and hitting a few of my favorite places. On Sunday, we grabbed our metro card & a couple FLYJOY bars, then continued our adventure!

We started the day with brunch at one of my favorite brunch spots. Fortunately or unfortunately, the owner is closing the restaurant for renovations and will open a new restaurant in its place in a couple months. Sad to see the old one go, but excited to see what he will open in its place!

We then continued to Grand Central to hit the Grand Central Market for Murray’s Cheese, Oren’s Coffee {their espresso house blend is divine}, Diptyque and yummy treats.

After we picked up a few goodies in Grand Central, we spent some time meandering around the Upper East Side. There is something charming about this neighborhood- between the architecture, couture shops and beaucoup of museums, there is always something new to find. Caleb & I like to walk up and down side streets and choose which brownstone we would want to live in. Can’t you imagine living in one of these and walking by the gorgeous gated museums each day?

And of course, you can’t explore the Upper East Side without making a stop in Ladurée! I adore everything in this store- the macarons, teas, candles, colors…  My favorite macaron flavors are rose and lavender, but the lavender flavor is seasonal. This trip we picked up six macarons- rose, lemon, coffee, chocolate, ice mint and coconut.

Note to self {or anyone visiting Ladurée} – if you intend to save your macarons for later, eat a snack prior to visiting this place or have a snack for when you walk out… I’m so glad I had my FLYJOY bars to munch on, otherwise these macarons would not have made it to our cheese board & bubbly! On a side note, if you haven’t tried FLYJOY bars yet- you must! They are all natural and are GMO, gluten & dairy free! I literally keep one in my purse at all times. The coconut macaron is my favorite!

After Ladurée we headed home to enjoy our new treats. We lit our Diptyque candle {the Baies is my current favorite, but I am dreaming of the Feu de Bois & Cyprès for winter}, set up our cheese board alongside our macarons & hand dipped dark chocolate covered pretzels and popped some bubbly! It was the perfect ending to a perfect weekend!
