Vacation in New York City

Oh that? That’s a steak tartare from the all-vegan French place in the West Village, Delice & Sarrasin.

I took a vacation in my city, making an occasion of booking a hotel room in Times Square for a friend’s birthday celebration. On the way in… dystopian urban landscape that is now Long Island City. 

At the French place a gorgeous tree laying down the law.

So when there is an opportunity, I do drink coffee with complications. Coconut milk cafe au lait 

The Steak Tartare: Pea protein, coconut oil and beets with shallots, parsley, olive oil, capers, and raw vegan egg with the most amazing steak fries.

I though the portion was a bit too much.  Like it would have worked far better as a small plate… and then I could have also gotten a sweet crepe

But how pretty?

The funky hotel phone that had recorded bedtime stories.

The Empire across the street

I feel like a kid when I’m in a hotel room. “I’m eating junk and watching rubbish! You better come out and stop me!” style.

The evening at The Magic Hour with a bunch of wacky teachers was everything is was supposed to be.

Then I headed back, picking up cupcakes for my brother’s birthday thing the following day. So many Aquariuses.
