anyone that has spoken to me in the last 48 hours knows that i had the most amazing trip back east last week. not only did we get to celebrate the little sister’s birthday in style, but i also got to visit so many people & places that i haven’t seen for years while living here in california- making me not only super excited, but also confident, in the sometimes daunting move back home. while this past trip was only a few short days, we tried to pack in as many of our favorite things while leaving time to experience some new favorites as well.  here is a list of our new york trip, in a nut shell:

1. gramercy tavern
