Good bye summer and hello to fall. Not that it feels like fall yet, it is still blazing hot in the city. I don't know about everyone else, but I am definitely excited for the temperature to drop and the leaves to change. This past weekend my best friend Julie came into town!!! We met in college as roommates and have been best friends ever since. Although we don't see each other too much anymore we still talk everyday and I always look forward to when she comes to town.
Delicatessen is easily one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I realize I use that term loosely when I post about food on my blog. But can you blame me? New York has the best food in the whole world! Everything at Delicatessen is delicious but their Mac Rueben is what really sets it apart.
On Monday my brother and his wife came in from New Jersey to hang out with Julie and I. They wanted to hang out in Greenwich Village. I love the West Village but I am not super familiar with it. However, the thing that is so amazing about New York, is that you don't need to plan your day out. You just happen upon so many amazing restaurants, shops and places to hang out.
For brunch, we found a darling restaurant called Meme Mediterranean. I am sure you can tell by the pictures that it is delicious.
I am so lucky that one of my best friends is a native New Yorker. I always let Amy decide where we eat. She orders for me and I trust her recommendations! On Sunday Julie, Amy and I went to Shanghai Asian Manor in China Town for soup dumplings.
Our last and final day at the beach did not go very smoothly. We got lost on our way there, our umbrella was not cooperating and it was so windy!! I guess this is just one of the signs that summer is over and there will be no more beach days. My best memories from this summer include our road trips to Robert Moses beach. We said our final goodbyes on Saturday. It was a little heart breaking.
We ended the beach day with a seafood dinner at the Oyster Bar. We always order more food than we can stomach. Pictured above are oysters (my favorite), baked clams, fried calamari, french onion soup, shrimp and seafood linguine!!
Labor Day weekend is over but at least I get to spend one more weekend with Julie. She is in Boston for the week at a work conference and then she will come back to New York one more time before returning home to Utah. I can't wait!
