My Mondays always start with me editing pictures from the previous week and deciding which of them will make good food posts. But this morning I found myself looking at a bunch of Instagram pictures I took this weekend and my favorite ones are all of New York City as it charges head-on into spring. Thought I’d share them with you here in a post that has nothing to do with food except for the picture of coffee.

These are heart and leaf macchiatos at Joe on the Upper West Side.
P.S. This is me before going to see PIPPIN on Broadway.
My review: I loved it. (Thanks Craig for taking me.)











question: i’ve never been to a coffee shop that does ‘latte art’ like that… do you have to ask for it specifically? LOVELY photo with the ducks & boats.
No asking…it just happens!
*giggles* You two make me smile. HAPPY MONDAY!
Coming to New York at the end of May. How was Pippin?
Terrific! It’s a big spectacle with lots of great performances. If you like circuses, classic 70s musicals and attractive people, you’ll have a blast.
Hello sir,How are you?
