The anti-bruncher, any occasion, NYC restaurant list.
Where I really eat in NYC as a forever local.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing my (highly requested) New York City Guides. Completely different than your average city guides, these are the actual places I go all the time. You can consider them your time-tested, hyper curated list of NYC lifetime local haunts, from a forever NYC native.
Today, I’m sharing my personal all occasion NYC restaurant list. Subscribe and save these posts for your next trip to NYC or when you’re looking for new places to discover around the city.
Let me know what you’d add to the list or which places you’d love to try next!
6 Summer necklaces I’m wearing already (or soon).
We are officially one month away from school getting out for my girls and I am so very excited to be in summer mode for awhile. Along with much slower days, travel plans, and time upstate I always look forward to changing up my jewelry game in the summer. I love the idea of a fun bold summer necklaces against a flowy dress!
Here are some fun summer necklaces I am loving right now.
I love pink and green together and the bold flower on this one is just so pretty.
Doug and the girls gave me this one for Mother’s Day and it layers so well with all of my taint gold pieces it is a great addition.
I love love love heart necklaces and have this bold style on the top of my summer wishlist!
Anytime I take a beach vacation I crave layers of shell jewerly and would love to add this one to my collection.
This fun rainbow piece would be such a good layer with other, longer necklaces.
Another beautiful shell option, I love the chunky beads on this one!
Let me preface this by saying that mine is not a white table cloth, waiters in tuxes, throwback to 90’s Manhattan. I am not an overly precious dining experience, tasting menu kind of gal. If you are looking for that this may not be the guide for you.
IF you want incredible ambience, amazing food, and the kind of local, special experience you can only get from a NYC restaurant… than I am your gal!
I should also add I am the anti brunch person, the only meal I like to sit down to is dinner when I can really relax and enjoy. During the day a long sit down meal makes me anxious! So again, if you are looking for hot weekend brunch spots or Ladies Who Lunch vibes I sadly cannot help you. Always being honest around here.
Here are my favorite, truly special, as in, the actual restaurants I frequent as a New York City forever local, for any occasion. Even if that occasion is a dinner with your girlfriends or a meal at the bar by yourself.
