Gluten Free Pancakes in Upper West Side

Alright, I’m wrapping up the NYC food series with this delicious gluten free breakfast from our last morning in the city! We visited a cute diner that offered socially distant outdoor seating. It was a fabulous breakfast to fuel us for what ended up being a very long day! And it left us wondering why it took so long to find such a great place?!

What I Want to Remember About Living in NYC

For as long as I can remember, I dreamt of a life in NYC. The last few months were a whirlwind: a dream come true, a chapter much shorter than we imagined, a challenge and an opportunity for so much growth. It’s truly a magical place and it will always hold a place in our hearts! While it’s all fresh in my mind, I’ve written a blog post about the things I want to remember about our time in NYC.

It’s usually the latter for me but for I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of this combo.

Sunday Morning Bagels

What a beautiful morning for a stroll through Upper West Side with the hubby and pup! Penny found some friends to play with in the park and we enjoyed perusing the green market (aka farmers market) near the American Museum of Natural History. We grabbed a couple Cokes from a bodega and picked up an order of bagels from Modern Bread and Bagel before scoping out a park bench for people watching.

Dinner Al Fresco at Pappardella

We went on a date tonight!! It’s so crazy to think that (with the exception of vacation) we haven’t gone to a restaurant or had a traditional date night in months. We decided to check out Pappardella this evening, since we had heard raving reviews.
