This was Bryan's first weekend back since November, and parts of NYC were not so welcoming. The two hour car ride from the airport almost had him back at the airport going home before starting! Me working until 10.30 that night and the snow canceling all our plans, we finally decided to make the best of things and ended up having a great weekend! We got to spend quality time together laughing and cuddling. Oh how I miss my hubs...
We mainly did things around here because of the weather. We did venture to the West Village for dinner one night where Bryan told me that he had the best scotch he'd ever had-so I took a pic
He literally was sighing after every drink!
We decided to hit the movies and see the Descendants. Only had to pay $13.25 a person for what I would describe as a "Indy"flick. CRAZY. Good thing it wasn't in 3D.
It was fun to see a movie here. I live around the corner from this place, walk past it daily, but I have never been. It is a small, narrow but tall theater. Our show was on the 5th floor, the bathrooms were on 2 and the concessions were on 3. This pic is old, but thought it gives perspective on how narrow the place is if you can imagine it is not any wider than those doors.
We also tried a few new places for breakfast. First was a local chain that is the ultimate french bistro.
Bryan tried to hide, sorry for the shoulder. They have breads, quiche, waffles, omlettes-I had a butternut squash and gouda frittata. Yum. Bryan had the oatmeal with real, plump oats. It was a little bland for me, but they had brown sugar or berries to supplement!
We also tried a new bagel place (after walking past one). Ordering was an experience, coffee was ok, bagels were really fresh and his bacon looked like a flat, mashed turkey type. His French toast tasted like the spices from the person before us-their omelette! Not our best NYC food experience.
I mention the one we walked past because I had to try it. I am oh, so glad I did and I am definitely taking Bryan here next time to make up! This place, BagelWorks is one of my best local finds! In true New York fashion, I am officially a bagel snob and this place makes the cut.
Cream cheese anyone?
I watched the guy making these and then dump them into these huge bins. This cabinet is as tall as my shoulders!
Here is what I get-everytime. An everything bagel, toasted with cream cheese. Makes my mouth water just looking at it!
