My Favourite Weekend in NYC

After 3 weeks in Costa Rica (not exactly basking in the sunshine for all 3 weeks), I was excited to head home to catch up with some friends!

Saturday. Beers at Rudy’s then quiet clubbing. It is exactly what it sounds like. Basically, everyone wears a pair of headphones and there are 3 DJs spinning at the front to choose from. It was so much fun!

I planned a lot of special things to see, eat and drink for a special someone visiting!

Sunday. We had dinner and drinks at The Eddy (it was around the corner of Upstate which had an hour wait.) then hopped to Please Don’t Tell (famous speakeasy bar in NYC) and Sake Bar Decibel.

He loved Sake Bar Decibel.

Monday. We had brunch then visited the New York Library and went up the Empire State Building.

Romantic right?

Grabbed a few drinks at Drop Off Service before dinner at Upstate.

He was so happy.

We stopped by Beauty and Essex on the way home for a quick drink.

Tuesday. Beautiful day for a walk in Central Park.

Stumptown for coffee before heading to a very special dinner at Sushi Nakazawa.

He had watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi and loved it so I knew he would love this amazing experience!

I was lucky enough to score a dinner reservation at 5pm (his flight was at 9:40pm). We sat at the best spot (seat 5 and 6) right in front of chef Nakazawa.
