The second day I wore a 70's inspired outfit I picked up from Forever 21 the night before at about 1AM. Gotta love NY.
My mom and I left our hotel bright and early, hopped on a subway and headed to Williamsburg for breakfast
I immediately fell in love with this area
The buildings had so much character!
We decided to have breakfast at Egg
Egg is a quaint little eatery with very fresh, inexpensive food
The atmosphere was friendly and inviting...they even had crayons and paper on the tables. I did some doodling and people watching whilst waiting for my food...
I ordered Eggs, Toast, Hash-browns and Candied bacon...
My mom had Duck Confit...
After eating, we walked around Williamsburg and snapped pics...
After falling into a few shops, we headed back to Manhattan
We stopped in Bryant Park to drop in some of the shops...
This sandwich shop had amazing eats...
We hung out in this area for a while and took in the beautiful colors of Fall...
After making our rounds, we had to head back to Harlem to pick up more fabric....then we stopped in Sylvia's....
I had the usual...Fried Chicken, Greens & Yams - My mom and I then killed more time walking around Harlem which ultimately resulted in us missing our first flight....good times..

Next time you are in Harlem, NY stop by Amy Ruth's. I like it better than Sylvia's not so canned food tasting... But all in all good soul food. http://www.amyruthsharlem.com/

Wow! I thought your mom was your sister. Beautiful. No wonder where you get the beauty from.
ReplyDeleteTea

ReplyDeleteI agree your mom looks more like your sister. Looks like a great trip, I haven't been to NY in years, got to get back there, especially to Sylvia's loved her food.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is gorgeous - you are a replica of her! Glad you had a great time here in New York while the weather was relatively warm :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the fall colours in this post. And your mother? What?! She looks more like your equally cute big sister... and I'm not just saying that. We can see where you get your cute looks from.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time in NYC!! It's no other city like it in the world!
ReplyDeleteI Love NY!!
I agree with everyone else. Your mom is gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteyou and ur mom are both stunning! Seems like you had a lot of fun, I love negrils and sylvias they both have great food. You hair looks great btw.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post, I MISS HARLEM!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour mom? She looks like your sister! I am not joking!
ReplyDeleteAwww the awesomeness that is Williamsburg. I guess you didnt get time to check out the biggest thrift shop that I've ever seen - Beacons Closet. It's my first stop next time I'm in NYC.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you and your mom look like sisters. So beautiful! This post makes me want to visit New York again sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time. During the summer Bryant Park is my lunch spot.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great trip Nikole. I heart New York...can't wait to get back and try some of the places you've mentioned.

You and your mom are gorgeous. And ditto what everyone else said. I thought she was your sister!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on the east coast. I have one question. What kind of camera do you have. Lol. Great photos. Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteGo
aw look at that ...a friend of mine lives on Bedford Ave :)
ReplyDeleteLovely ladies, you and your mom look very much alike; though, like the other ladies said, she looks more like an older sister ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a chance to visit and enjoy some of what our lovely city has to offer, I hope you come back soon to enjoy it some more.
I concur with Grace, I luvs me some Amy Ruth's, one of my closest friends got engaged there earlier this year :).

You guys look like you had a pretty good time. I love Egg, good choice! You really thought the weather was nice? Being an LA girl myself, I feel like the weather has been rather brutal lately. You're definitely a trooper! Fun times :-)
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm the one who flagged you down in F21 lol. Thanks for being so cool to us and for introducing us to your mom (who was really sweet:)). How long did you stay in there? I barely escaped with my wallet and sanity intact lol.
ReplyDeleteBest,
D
What an absolute blessing to have such a wonderful relationship with your Mom. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletebeautiful mother and daughter. Wish I could vacy with my mom, but she's way 2 conservative for most places and spots I want to check out. Haven't been to NY since I was 12 yrs old, I'm planning to check it out next summer God willing.
ReplyDeleteI thought your mom was your friend, I was thinking to myself, oh they look so alike, maybe they are related when I looked down and saw that she was your mother. I was in shock! She looks way too young to have a grown daughter!! Great genes in your family
ReplyDeleteWilliamsburg has gotten very trendy over the years. Great neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIf you love W'burg, you'll love Smith St in Carrol Gardens. There's so much to see there.
Glad you had fun. My mom would never go anywhere with me lol!
How did you style your hair in the first picture?
ReplyDeleteAdore your posts about NYC - What a great city :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post on my city ☺ I ♥ NYC too! I like going back home to people watch, the young Asian women are always my favorite, they seem to have so much style to me.

I just discovered you blog yesterday and fell in LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteI live in NY, recently moved to LI from Brooklyn. EGG was my go to place for breakfast. I would wait for 1hr because it was just sooooooooo worth it. Those beignets and the hash browns are to DIE for.
Did I say I was loving your blog yet?
It's so dope seeing the eyes of NYC through people who aren't from here. Looks like you had a fun trip. I love that you traveled off the beaten path of most tourists and visited Williamsburg. I'm not sure how much time you spent there but Williamsburg is one of the best places in Brooklyn for vintage and thrift shopping. Did you get to check out Beacon's Closet or Buffalo Exchange?
ReplyDeleteOh and, the next time you're here check out Amy Ruth's for Soul Food.
ReplyDeleteWow, you and your mom look a lot alike! I second the motion of everyone who'd mentioned Amy Ruth's as the place to check out for soul food. I had my engagement party there and my rehearsal dinner at Sylvia's. Can you tell my husband and I like soul food, lol?!

While in Williamsburg did you get a chance to check out the great vintage finds at Beacon's Closet?
ReplyDeleteYou look just like your Mum! Thanks for sharing! I am glad you had a great time and the food looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteWhich F21 was this? Cause the one at Herald Square closes at like 9:30 pm! lol!
ReplyDeleteI need to take note of this for future trips!
AMAZING pics though! Gotta love NYC.
That food looked sooo delicious! I'm hungry lol! Gotta love Williamsburg, although it's total hispterville. Either way, nice pics!
ReplyDeleteYay! You were in New York! I hope you enjoyed it. We New Yorkers take a little getting used to.
ReplyDeleteYour hair has grown so much and looks fantastic.
Love that you and your mom are both creative souls!
ReplyDeleteYou were creative with your use of ancient Egyptian symbolism in your doodle
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you came to my home. All the food looks yummy. Next time you come visit negril or mobays if you havent already!
ReplyDeleteoh you did make your way to negril sorry didnt see part 1 yet! Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteIve been wanting to plan a trip to NY for the Longest!!! Where did you stay?
