A hungry girl's adventures in Cleveland and beyond.

New York - Here I Come!

I'm FINALLY headed to the Big Apple! For a girl that's been everywhere, it's really shocking it's taken me this long.

I've been getting some great tips on where to go and what to do. Since we are only there a couple of days, it's really overwhelming!

Here's what we are planning so far:

1. Where to Stay
We decided on a super cute B+B called The Inn on 23rd in Chelsea. I am a rebel and didn't want to stay in Times Square. Plus, I love a good B+B and this one serves breakfasts prepared by the local cooking school. 


2. Where to Eat
#1 Must Do is PIZZA!!! Can't wait to get some thin crust charred goodness. This was a difficult one to decide but we're headed to Grimaldi's under the Brooklyn Bridge. And of course the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory will be dessert.


Speaking of dessert, Milk Bar is a a must too! I'm going to try to fit Momofuko in too so I can see how it compares to our own Noodlecat.


3. Where to Go
This one could really be in the Where to Eat category but either way, I'm not coming home without visiting Eataly! Once I go there, I may never come home. I've been dreaming about this Italian food mecca since it opened. We'll definitely be eating here AND taking some souvenirs home.


The High Line is a super funky and cool park created on an abandoned elevated rail line. It's by our B+B and I can't wait to check it out.


We were going to go to the top of the Empire State Building but have decided to try Top of the Rock instead. I like that we'll be able to SEE the Empire State Building and that they have timed tickets so we won't spend hours in line. 


I definitely want to see the Statue of Liberty so we are planning on some sort of boat cruise that will be a great way to get an overview of the city too.


Central Park, Times Square, Hells Kitchen, Soho - they are all on the wish list. I'd love to go to squeeze in the Frick Collection too but it might need to be saved for our next visit.


I want to cram as much fun (and food!) in as possible. Any other ideas?
