brooklyn & barneys - NYC weekend recap

back from a beautiful fall weekend in NYC.  the weather could not have been better, cool and sunny - perfect for that fur vest topper which i diligently wore in over the trip.  it was so nice to not have a specific agenda and just visit all weekend.

highlights:

Fitz & the Tantrums show at Terminal 5.  this was my first visit to the venue and it was pretty spectacular - much larger than i expected but wonderful nonetheless.  F&T rocked - perfect party/dance music - it's like southern beach music band meets indie.


a full day to myself to peruse the stores.  the shoe floor at Barney's NEVER dissapoints.

ridiculously amazing italian food at Emilio Ballato's, jalapeno cocktails at Mayahuel and a cozy night with friends Jo's in Nolita.

a visit and afternoon beers at Brooklyn Brewery lead to buzzed browsing and some sweet finds next door at Sound Fix Records.  im already obsessing over the She & Him Christmas album we got on vinyl. sooo good.


finally a much anticipated stop at Eataly.  i had the best paninni of my life and could have eaten and purchased everything in there.  of course we're approaching the holidays and it was slam packed.  one day i will get there when it opens and magically have someone pick me up with an arm full of fresh, gourmet italian ingredients.
