Smile

Yesterday was a typical New York day. Shopping, wandering and absorbing the atmosphere of the city sandwiched between two amazing meals. LC and I started off at The Smile on recommendation from Russh Magazine. We met up with Lisa, a friend from London who has just moved back to the states and is looking for jobs and apartments in the city. We enjoyed delicious sandwiches and iced tea, perfect for the hot weather. It is such a fantastic little place, very moody with great food and great service. It wasn't surprising that Naomi Watts was enjoying a sandwich at the next table (celeb siting no1). After lunch we went down to the Opening Ceremony store on Howard street and I purchased an Alexander Wang T. Its such a good feeling when you invest in a beautifully crafted t shirt that you know you will feel confident in every time you wear it. We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around the lower east side, had a coopers pale at an australian bar and then went up to washington square. It was lovely balmy night and there were people everywhere including a busking band with a piano! 

 At 10:30 we headed to Delicatessen on Prince and LaFayette. LC and I had read about their amazing fish Taco's on food-porn blog Maison des Reveries. We had cocktails and the most amazing food and generally enjoyed the indulgence of eating dinner at such a late hour. After that we caught a cab (my first in NYC and the first car I had been in since my birthday in May). All in all it was a pretty fantastic day. I am in love with this city!
