Weekend in NYC


I. Love. New York City. It's a fact. Even though I am very excited about moving to Boston, I still have a special spot in my heart for that great big city. During our recent moving trip to Boston, we decided to stop by New York to visit my brother on our way back to Indiana. Since we were only there for a day we relied on my brother to suggest some places for us to eat. We had a great experience on Sunday morning, eating brunch at a great place called Kitchenette near Columbia University on the Upper West Side.

Aside from being an adorable diner-like setting, it was right across the street from my brother's apartment. And considering we were having a late start we didn't want to travel all the way downtown and end up waiting in line for some breakfast. The food was great! I had an artichoke and tomato omelette with cheese grits and homemade biscuits. First of all, any place that offers cheese grits as a side is an A+ in my book. And all of this topped off with a peach bellini made for a fabulous breakfast. Too bad I was stuffed, because I would have also dug in to some of these yummy looking treats in the window.

All in all, we had a great experience. The staff was attentive, polite, and quick. We all enjoyed each of our dishes immensely and I will definitely be stopping back in on my next trip to NYC. Probably just to try those desserts too =)
