ARITZIA CLAW MACHINE in NYC?
____

The BEST ARITZIA experience ever? Free claw machines, food, and matcha?

Aritzia just opened their new Flatiron Flagship location in NYC and they held a private party, where they invited their loyal customers (not influencers- OKAY ARITZIA MARKETING I SEE YOU).

I got to join as a plus one since my friend spends all her savings at Aritzia!

I personally LOVE Aritzia (peep my whole fit is from Aritzia) so guess I have to spend more there to get invited the next time they open another NYC store 😂

✨Outfit Details:

-Aritzia Babaton Parker Palazzo Pant (Size Small)
-Saint Laurent Kate Medium YSL

Fur Coat I was trying on:

___

Looking for a FUN YET AFFORDABLE BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH spot in NYC?

This NYC restaurant offers a $30 Bottomless Piano brunch, meaning there is a live pianist for the entirety of brunch.

Definitely the most fun I’ve had a brunch in a long time!

I saw a ton of people celebrating their birthdays here! (And I noticed that you do get a sparkler if you’re celebrating something!)

The food is also sooo good- if you have a sweet tooth, GET the FRUITY PEBBLE PANCAKES

HOW I GOT SARAH HYLAND'S AUTOGRAPH IN NYC?
___

When your favorite Modern Family actress, Sarah Hyland , appears in NYC as Daisy Buchanan on Broadway in The Great Gatsby...

I may have come for Sarah, but I left for the entire production. Genuinely one of the BEST Broadway shows I've ever seen in NYC!

The ENTIRE cast is so talented-the emotions they exuded on stage were palpable- I felt every tear shed! The set design, lightning, and costumes- all chef's kisses!

Sarah just took her final bow but now the talented Aisha Jackson is performing as Daisy, so I need to go back!

$58 OMAKASE IN NYC?
____
Is this the MOST AFFORDABLE yet HIGH-QUALITY omakase in NYC?

As you know, I’m still on the hunt for the best omakase in New York City based on price, quality, and quantity, and this NYC restaurant may be the best I’ve found so far…

Sushi Masu offers an 11-course omakase for just $58, but I tried the 16-course omakase to understand their full range of offerings.

The majority of their fish is sourced from the famous Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo, and the quality is evident in each course.

The fish was so buttery and silky, slightly sweet for some cuts, which just speaks to the freshness.

The chef didn’t over-dress the sushi, really letting the fish be the star.

I was so full by the 8th nigiri, so this was definitely worth the price!

✨Omakase Deals:
-11-course Omakase $58 (incl 1 otsunami, 9 nigiri, 1 tamaki)
-16-course Omakase $89 (incl 3 otsunami, 11 nigiri, 1 tamaki, 1 dessert)

📍Sushi Masu

the MOST unique Korean restaurant in NYC?
___
Tucked away on the outskirts of K-town, Hangawi is a Korean restaurant with a twist...

As you walk in, you must take your shoes off before being seated in floor seating emulating a traditional Korean home.

One look at the menu, and you'll immediately realize that everything is vegan / plant-based.

If you have to get anything off the menu, I highly recommend the silky matchamisu dessert.

✨Everything I ordered:
-Matchamisu $16
-Tofu Kimchi Hotpot $23
-Plant Based Korean "Bulgogi" Stone Rice Bowl $29
-Black Truffle Dumpling $20

the most underrated NYC brunch spot...
___

Hot take: I'm not a huge fan of brunch food.

But this NYC restaurant made me think otherwise...

A Mediterranean oasis nestled a few blocks from Central Park, this restaurant is truly an NYC hidden gem.

It had the BEST shakshuka I've ever had in New York. The succulent sausages married with the rich tomato sauce- simply exquisite!

This brunch spot is perfect for last minute walk-ins and the proximity to Central Park makes it the perfect start to a park day in New York.

⭐️Everything I ordered:
-Tzatziki $12
-Seafood Sausage Shakshuka $26
-Sujuk Shakshuka $26
-Moroccan Donuts $18

The Nutcracker is back in NYC on Nov 28!
___
Like every little dancer's dream, I have always wanted to see George Balanchine's The Nutcracker in New York...
..and last year I finally got to see it & I can't believe I got to see Principal perform live!

The Waltz of the Snowflakes dance was absolutely magical!

The performance is only about 2 hours long but it felt way shorter!
