Urban Jungle ( New York city guide )

So I’ll try not to spend 20 minutes here talking about how crazy about New York I am and how bad I would like to move there cause I mean… I freaking love it !

No I won’t do that ! Today I will simply share with you some of the cool addresses I’ve enjoy in the Big Apple lately.

So here’s some restaurants I’ve liked:

                                                                                 

  Brooklyn:

The Generale Greene : Guys !!! they have the best French toasts ever !! I could kill to have some of those right now ! ( and make sure to try the omelette too ! delicious ! )

Stone Fruit : Make sure to get the Avocado smashed toast AND you have to try their Chia and Oat pudding with nectarines ! Like you have to ! I had the Egg fritata too I know I know I eat a lot and it was delicious too !

Buttermilk Chanel : The food was absolutely amazing!!! ( I had the Veggie Burger and I loved it ! )

The Bakeri : Not only they have great food but the place look super super pretty ! They have the most beautiful wall paper ever ! I’m obsessed with it since I’ve enter that place ! ( you’ll be able to see it on two of my pics further down ).

Martha : I didn’t like brussels sprouts til I’ve tasted their ones ! So even if you don’t like brussels sprouts you HAVE TO try it there! You will never think about thos vegetables the way you used to after trying those ! I give you my words !

 

       Manhattan:

Jack’s wife Freda : such a cute place ! If you want my advice, make sure to head to the one located in Carmine St , as the one in Lafayette St is always way too crowed ! Oh and btw the Tuna salad there is delicious !

Cafe Clover : Make sure to try the Octopus a la plancha ( if you like seafood of course ) and the Blistered Shishitos ! The food was delicious !

The Butcher’s daughter : such a cute Vegeterian place with great food !

 

                                        

 

OMG after putting all of this down I just can’t believe I’ve been to so many restaurants on this last trip ahah! Oh and I’m right in the middle of my cleanse detox ( The Master Cleanse ) so you have no idea how horrible it was to think about all the amazing food I had during this trip while I’m writing all of that but well, you guys totally worth it :)))

I really enjoyed hanging around at the Brooklyn Flea Market in Williamsburg too ( yeah I swear I have done more then just eating while i was there ahah ). This time I found the coolest vintage bag ever( some of you saw it on Snapchat) , some vintage glass bottles and an old New York Bus number plate! I could have buy so many things but I mean i was already a bit concerned about the fact that I had to carry a chandelier ahah, but well that’s another story!

Make sure to stop by the Fort Greene Farmers Market if you’re in Brooklyn on Saturday! I really loved it! All those fresh flowers, vegetables and fruits really made my day!

And to finish on a different note, some of you asked me on Snapchat where I did get my new tiny little « explore » tattoo. Well it was in Brooklyn, at Three Kings Tattoo. That was great cause I really wanted to get one in New York but I had to find a place where I could do it without any appointment. So on my last day , I just showed up there and done!New tattoo! The people there were super super nice and very professional. I definitely recommend it!

So this is the first time I’m sharing few address with you on the Blog. Is this something you would like me to do more? Looking forward to read what you think about this.

Thank you guys for following my journeys along. That means the world to me ♥

Have a fantastic day,

Lots of Love ♥

Lily

What a perfect Morning

9 août 2015

Three days after we made it to the cabin, we were all super excited as we were expecting a special guest. My good friend Tamara would meet us there and spend 4 days with us and we couldn’t wait for her to arrive :)

Tamara lives in New York. I got to meet her last year in New York during what I like to call my « instatrip » through the US. She’s one of those special people I got to meet through the most amazing  app known as Instagram. One of those inspiring woman I’m so happy to call a friend.

I just couldn’t wait to introduce her to Stasha and Julian. It always makes me so so happy when people I love got to meet each other.

We had an amazing time at  the cabin and of course and Tamara being such a foodie we had to organize some breakfast/brunch shootings! That was a lot of fun (except the fact that we eat a little bit too much! Diet start tomorrow for me aha!)

Here’s some pictures of one of those perfect morning we had at the cabin ♥ 

I’m home now. Missing all those amazing people but feeling so blessed to have them in my life.

Have a rainbow sunday guys.

 

Trois jour après notre arrivée dans le plus cute des petits chalets, nous étions tous super impatients d’avoir Tamara parmis nous! New York City n’étant pas si loin il était en effet prévu que Tamara nous rejoigne et passes 4 jours avec nous Upstate New York.

Tamara et moi nous sommes rencontrées l’année dernière lors de ce que j’aime appeler mon « instatrip ». Elle fait partie de ces rencontres que l’on oublie pas et je suis heureuse de pouvoir aujourd’hui l’appeler mon amie. Aaaah Instagram… c’est fous ce que cette app aura changé ma vie…

J’avais d’autant plus hâte de pouvoir enfin la présenter à Stasha et Julian! Je suis toujours super heureuse quand les amis que j’ai pu rencontrer au fil de mes voyages se rencontrent à leur tour.

Nous avons passé de très bon moments tous ensemble :) et Tamara étant une foodie, vous pensez bien que l’on s’est fait super plaisir niveau breakfasts/brunchs . 

Je suis de retour à Strasbourg  pour 15 jours et je vais essayer de partager le plus de choses possibles avec vous ( concernant mes derniers voyages ), ici sur le blog, avant mon prochain départ.

Je vous laisse sur une petite série de photos prise un de ces fameux matin au chalet ♥

A très vite

Lots of love,

Lily

Cabin Life

2 août 2015

Good morning Upstate New York ♥

I feel so grateful for the time I got to spend with my favorite family ( Stasha, Julian, Max and Bruce ) before their big move to Japan in September. The ones who follow me on Instagram for quite a while know how much we had a big crush on each other the first time we met last September in Washington State. It was definitely love at first sight. So when Stasha asked me if I would like to join to spend some time with them in a cute little cabin she rented for a month, not far from Preston Hollow (Upstate New York), it took me like 5 sec to say « I’m in!! » .

We mainly spent our time together doing nothing but eating, laughing, cooking and of course, taking photos.

I had an amazing time with them and really felt like sharing it with you.

I’ll be off to New York city in few hours and it breaks my heart to have to say goodbye. I’ll try my best not to get too emotional and not to cry this time but between you and me, it’s nearly impossible.

 

Good morning Upstate New York ♥

Je suis tellement heureuse d’avoir pu passer du temps avec Stasha, Julian, Max et Bruce avant leur grand départ pour le Japon au mois de Septembre. Ceux qui me suivent sur instagram depuis un bon moment savent à quel point ça a était le gros coup de coeur entre nous lors de notre première rencontre en Septembre derniere à Whidbey Island. Un vrai coup de foudre.

Quand Stasha m’a demandé si j’étais partante pour les rejoindre cet été et passer du temps avec eux dans le plus cute des chalet non loin de Preston Hollow ( New York State) il ne m’a pas fallu plus de 5 sec pour lui répondre  » I’m in! »

Nous avons passé la semaine à manger, rire, cuisiner et faire des photos of course! Il y’ a pire comme programme:))

Ça fait tellement chaud au coeur d’être à nouveau réunis. Nous avons passé une « amaziiiing » semaine et j’avais vraiment envie de partager ça avec vous :)

Malheureusement toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin et je prends la route d’ici quelques heures pour NYC. Cela me fend le coeur d’avoir à dire au revoir et je vais essayer de ne pas fondre en larmes cette fois ci! Ceux qui me connaissent savent que cela relève de l’impossible :/

J’espère que ces quelques photos vous plairont :)

Je vous embrasse. A très vite.

Lots of Love ♥

Lily
