Saturday was a great day! We got a late start after having some bagels and then took a walk through SoHo along Mulberry, Elizabeth and Mott Street, which all offer gorgeous boutiques with great quality clothes, home goods and other good things, like nice custom build motorcycles parked on the street. We also checked out the store of the brand Reformation, a sustainable clothing brand from LA. Then we had an afternoon beer and cider at the little Italian restaurant Sant Ambroeous.
More by accident than by intention it turned out that Alex’s great cousin Susen and her husband Daniel were in town – their hotel was just two blocks away from our Airbnb. We met at the Ludlow Hotel and had a delicious dinner at the hidden Izakaya Mew, which serves delicious Japanese cuisine combined with New York’s food culture. We continued the great day at the Carnegie Club – an old-school cocktail and cigar lounge which brings you right back to the forties/ sixties. We saw a wonderful Frank Sinatra show by the Stan Rubin Orchestra, drank delicious cocktails and enjoyed ourselves.
Afterwards, we walked back to the East Village in the fresh New York spring air and finished our night off with some drinks at Bar Veloce, where also some friends of Susen and Daniel joined.
