From Viennese Chocolate Cake to Fish & Chips by the Beach
Oh my goodness, where did the time go? I swear I only blinked and January has passed on by! It has been a month of rain and snow, with the elusive sunshine peeking out for limited engagements only. We celebrated my birthday with an Original Sacher Torte from Hotel Sacher in Vienna, a deliciously indulgent chocolate cake, and my husband gave me the rose gold Michael Kors watch I’ve been eyeing.
Wanderlust: New York City
I have been suffering from an extreme case of wanderlust these past few months, and now that flying is out of the question for me, it has hit me full force. Come take a trip with me down memory lane…
We started our day off with brunch at Pastis, which I encourage everyone to do just once at least. I devoured a delicious Croque Madame, which is very much a Croque Monsieur but with an egg cracked on top of it, and J ate his favourite form of breakfast, a plate of Eggs Benedict.
Celebrating
For New Years Eve J & I spent the night at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia, a rather luxurious and posh hotel that has recently been renovated. For a woman who is 5 months pregnant, the comfortable bed, luxe tub, and salt water pool were just perfection.
We celebrated our New Years Eve at the Hawksworth restaurant and enjoyed a delicious 6-course meal. Fois gras anyone? It was absolutely delicious, from the lobster gnocchi to the indulgent chocolate dessert. We were seated next to another pregnant couple, which we found hilarious, and some kind of celebrity couple (who we didn’t recognize) on the other side. If you’re ever in the neighborhood, just take a seat in the bar and thank me later for the amazing people watching. You’re welcome.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Darling!
