VIVA NEW YORK!

For our first travel guide, we head to The Big Apple! New York is the perfect city for a weekend getaway, whether with a partner, friends, or even a girls' trip. Since Montreal is relatively close to New York, you can decide to go almost anytime. However, summer can be a bit hot in the heart of Manhattan. It’s an ideal destination in the spring, as the temperature is perfect, and it seems like spring arrives a bit earlier. My daughter and I took the opportunity to celebrate Mother's Day while keeping an eye out for new spots to add to our little notebook. Here are our favorite addresses of the weekend.

P.S.: The photos were taken by my daughter, except for the one at Scarpetta restaurant.

Saturday - Head to Greenwich and Nolita

You have to eat well in NY

We joined a small group for dinner. We had reserved at Scarpetta, located not far from our hotel. Besides being hungry, we were excited because, although not an institution, Scarpetta is well-established and enjoys an excellent reputation since its nomination for the James Beard Award in the "Best New Restaurant in America" category. Just that.

Festive restaurant… diverse clientele of all ages. It’s a great way to end the day… festive yet friendly atmosphere. Good, friendly service. And the food is amazing. You can't go wrong :)

SUNDAY - WE RELAX THE NY WAY
