NYC Hideouts

Working in New York City in the summer is so much fun but can also be overwhelming when you don't live there year round. It can take a while for a newcomer in the city to find the best coffee shops, restaurants, and quiet places. Luckily for you, I am going to be posting about the places that I have been exploring this summer in the big apple. There is no better feeling than finding a new place in the city that you've never been to; especially a little coffee shop that isn't a crowded Starbucks (I still love you....and your cake pops). Even those of you who don't get to go into the city all the time, this gives you a reason to hop on this train!

My first NYC hideout is....

City Kitchen! 

Located on 44th and 8th, City Kitchen is my most recent favorite place to go for a really fun lunch break. Inside are many different types of food vendors. Sushi, Mediterranean, Mexican, and let's not forget the amazing donut vendor - Dough (you'll thank me later). City Kitchen puts all of the your favorite foods in one place. It's location is right next to Times Square so its convenient for work or if you're just visiting for the day! You can have a seat at their window counter that looks out to 8th avenue for prime people watching, we all do it. The kitchen is also connected to Row Hotel, a very modern hotel in the city. It accommodates any type of taste buds out there so go try it out for yourself!

If you want to let me in on your NYC Hideouts or any place in the city that you love going to, comment below!

Breyer's Gelato Indulgences

For all of you ice cream lovers, I have finally discovered Breyer's Gelato Indulgences. I mean even the name sounds heavenly. I have heard people talk about it so many times so as soon as I saw it grocery shopping I was like what the hell right?! I think it's safe to say that I'm in love. With gelato.

It even looks pretty. This flavor that I got is called Vanilla Caramel. But don't worry, they have more flavors. Just looking at this my mouth is watering. If you're reading this not knowing what I'm talking about.. you will. 

That's my food obsession rant that I had to go on. Who doesn't love food though, am I right?!

Treating Myself

Today I introduced my family to Sprinkles cupcakes in NYC. If you're a New Yorker, you swear by these cupcakes. My personal favorite is their red velvet cupcake. I can't wait until I get to try every single flavor. And if you haven't been to Sprinkles yet.... Run. Xoxo Steph

Food Baby

As if I haven't gone off my streak of "eating good" if that's even what you want to call it, I had the best dinner tonight. This is the reason why everyone misses home cooked meals at college. There is definitely nothing like it. The stuffed peppers were out of this world, and to top it off… I had a little ice cream for dessert. How can you not?! Eat your heart out. Xoxo Steph

A Day in Boston

Hey guys! I have been so slacking with these posts in the past couple days! Today, my friends and I went to Boston with our school and visited the aquarium! After the aquarium, we went to eat lunch at Legal Sea Foods (yummy). Some virgin bloody Mary's and a lobster roll never killed nobody right? It was a great day and now I have to get back to reality and start with week off good.

What did you guys do this weekend?! I hope it was fantastic and fun. Have a great week, as I will probably be posting as much as I can this week. Xoxo Steph

This Is It

For my last night home for now, we went out to dinner. Real food… I'm going to miss it. I am ready to be back on campus, back in the groove, back to the gym (I've been slacking, big time). It's going to be nice seeing everyone at school again. I hope everyone had a good week and a good night! On to watch my team play in the Big East Championships!!! Fingers crossed ladies! Smooches. xoxo Steph

A Perfect Treat

Came home to these delicious treats today from Pink Shack! Who says you can't indulge in cupcakes? Especially when they're SALTED CARAMEL! I mean, yum!!!
