Welcome back!
Due to Rosh Hashanah falling across both Monday and Tuesday of this week and me also having Friday's off, I've had five full days to do as I please. The weather on Friday wasn't the best, but me and a couple of the girls decided to spend the afternoon in Chelsea. After braving the horrible wind and rain (you know that really light kind that makes your hair go mega frizzy!?) we went for brunch in one of my all time favourite places to eat in the city - Bubby's. I came across this little gem when visiting The High Line with my mamma last year and would be happy to eat there every single day. It's that good! I went for the Market Omelette and a Pink Lemonade - both of which are to die for.
On Saturday we all felt as though we could do with a bit of retail therapy. We've trekked up and down Fifth Avenue so many times already, so for a change of scenery we decided to explore the streets of Soho. The shops here are absolutely incredible, there's such a great mix of high end and high street. We spent time lusting in Acne Studios and Alexander Wang, but didn't get around to actually spending until we reached the huge Zara store on Canal Street. Luck was definitely on my side as a coat I had been planning on buying for over $200 was priced wrongly and I ended up bagging it for under $100. We all got hungry so decided to head to The Butcher's Daughter. Their motto is that they treat fruits and vegetables like a butcher would meat. Most if not all of the options on the menu were vegan which made for a nice change - I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my meal. After this, we decided to catch the subway to Fulton Street and explored the newly opened Westfield shopping centre. We finished off our lovely Saturday with a Sprinkles cupcake sitting on the marble steps inside Brookfield Place - another of my favourite pit stops in the city.
On Sunday we did nothing but chill so we felt refreshed and ready for following day. We all woke up bright and early to catch a coach to the land of cream cheese, Philadelphia. It was a very spur of the moment thing so we didn't have a clue what we were going to get up too. I think we were all surprised to see just how spread out Philly is. Were so used to being in New York where you can get to pretty much anywhere within half an hour. Most of our day was spent in the King of Prussia Mall before heading to Shake Shack (because we haven't had enough of their burgers already).
We were all pretty tired on Tuesday so we had a lazy morning before heading out to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East Side of New York. We had a look round before heading up to the rooftop to get some Instagram worthy shots. We ended up being there until it closed, so we decided to head to Pinkberry to grab some frozen yoghurt before heading back to The Met steps for that iconic Gossip Girl shot (if you know, then you know!)
