EAT: {White Plains} We were first introduced to @t EAT: {White Plains} We were first introduced to @tswirlcrepe on a visit to Philadelphia. We were so happy to learn that there was a location in White Plains! T-Swirl Crepe makes crepes using rice flour batter. They have an extensive menu of both savory and sweet crepes that are delicious and easy to take and eat on the go. While we got a scoop of gelato on top this time, we won’t again. It was a lot harder to eat and it took away from enjoying the flavors of the crepe. This is the Matcha Chocolate Truffle, but we’ve also had and can recommend Wild Berries and Chocolate Nut Party. 📍T-Swirl Crepe 151 Mamaroneck Avenue White Plains, NY 10601
DRINK/EAT: {Yorktown Heights} Today I’m highligh DRINK/EAT: {Yorktown Heights} Today I’m highlighting another northern Westchester County coffee shop! @libbyscoffeelounge is located in Yorktown Heights. They have a large selection of coffee and tea drinks as well as a small selection of food (paninis, açaí bowls), freshly baked pastries and grab and go items (bars, bottled drinks, chips, etc.) I am always up for an iced chai latte and the kids shared a mocha. They also enjoyed a Nutella croissant and an açaí bowl with strawberries, granola and Nutella. It’s a small but inviting space with an Instagrammable wall. Tuesday - Sunday: 9 AM - 6 PM Closed Mondays 📍Libby’s Coffee Lounge 1877 Commerce Street Yorktown Heights, NY 10598
EAT: {Cold Spring} Any other cheese lovers out the EAT: {Cold Spring} Any other cheese lovers out there? If so, a visit to @coldspringcheese is a must! This is a gourmet cheese, charcuterie and provisions shop located on Main Street in Cold Spring. They sell a wide variety of locally produced gourmet cheese and make charcuterie boards. They also sell locally sourced and produced milk, eggs, bread, jams, honey and other provisions. If you are looking for something to eat while visiting the town, you can get homemade Mac and Cheese or sandwiches too. Yesterday during our visit to Cold Spring my husband enjoyed a sandwich that had Manchego cheese, fig jam, and micro greens on a baguette which he said was delicious! Since I’m trying to avoid carbs, I enjoyed some of the Manchego. This particular Manchego is aged only 4 months so it’s good for sandwiches, but it’s not a variety that they sell. The store is closed for browsing and ordering/pick up is done at the window. Open Wednesday - Monday 12 PM - 5 Pm Closed Tuesdays 📍Cold Spring Cheese Shop 104 Main Street Cold Spring, NY 10516
READ: {Hudson Valley} Check out my newest blog “6 Scenic Hudson Parks to Visit”(link in profile). With the weather getting warmer there’s no better time to check out one of their 45 parks located throughout the Hudson Valley. Pictured here is Falling Waters Preserve in Glasco (very close to Saugerties), in Ulster County. We visited this 149 acre park that is co-managed with the Esopus Creek Conservancy, back in October. This is an easy hike with a couple of small waterfalls and up close views of the Hudson River. 📍Falling Waters Preserve 996 Dominican Lane Glasco, NY 12432
EAT: {Mamaroneck } @salsmamaroneck has been a Mama EAT: {Mamaroneck } @salsmamaroneck has been a Mamaroneck staple since 1964! The pizzeria is famous for their Sicilian slice. Since it was my first time visiting, I of course had to try it! It was crispy and cheesy and oh so good! I understand why it’s a Westchester favorite! You can get the Sicilian slices with toppings and they have specialty Sicilian slices including White and chicken parm. Plain Sicilian slice: $3.50 Open every day: 12 PM - 8 PM 📍Sal’s Pizzeria 316 Mamaroneck Avenue Mamaroneck , NY 10543
VISIT: {Bronx} Yesterday was the perfect day to vi VISIT: {Bronx} Yesterday was the perfect day to visit the @nybg in the Bronx. I’ve been waiting to see the @yayoikusama_ “Cosmic Nature” exhibit since last spring, when it was postponed due to COVID. The exhibits are full of bright colors and patterns. It’s amazing that the 92 year-old artist created new pieces last year for this installation at the NYBG! If you love art and nature, a visit to see “Cosmic Nature” is highly recommended! The exhibit is taking place now through October 31, 2021. It includes both indoor and outdoor installations. Be sure to purchase a Garden and Gallery Pass if you want to see the indoor exhibits. Tuesday - Sunday: 4 PM - 6 PM Kusama Garden & Gallery Pass: $35/adult (13+), $32/seniors (65+) and students w/ID, $15 (children 2-12) Kusama Garden Pass: $25/adults, $22/seniors (65+) and students w/ID, $12 (children 2-12) 📍Cosmic Nature Exhibit at the NYBG 2900 Southern Blvd. Bronx, NY 10458
EAT: {Danbury} Until recently, we hadn’t been to EAT: {Danbury} Until recently, we hadn’t been to the Danbury Mall in years! While there we of course had to make a stop at Papa-T. It was a win since they sell bubble tea and rolled ice cream, which my kids love both of! My daughter picked the Snowberry: house cream mixed with strawberry, topped with whipped cream, sliced strawberries and graham cracker (Pocky). For an additional $1 you can get a dragon cup (nitrogen smoking cup). My son chose the strawberry milk tea with bubbles. They have milk teas, fruit teas and snow/smoothies which are all customizable including size, sugar and ice levels and toppings. @papateaus is a popular spot in the mall and there was a little bit of a wait since everything is made to order. While we don’t frequent the mall, we highly recommend for some unique treats! 📍Papa-T Danbury Fair Mall 7 Backus Ave. Danbury, CT 06810
VISIT: {Yonkers} This is not the first time that I VISIT: {Yonkers} This is not the first time that I’ve posted about @untermyergardens. This hidden gem in Yonkers requires multiple visits throughout the year to be able to appreciate all of its beauty, as it changes throughout the seasons. Spring visits include the usual spectacular views of the Hudson River but also all the daffodils! The Temple of Love is my fave! Although it is free to visit the garden, timed reservations are required Friday through Sunday. Monday - Thursday 9 AM - 6 PM Friday - Sunday 12 PM - 6 PM 📍Untermyer Garden 945 North Broadway Yonkers, NY 10701
EAT: {Mamaroneck} Milk N Cookies is a cookie shop EAT: {Mamaroneck} Milk N Cookies is a cookie shop and cereal bar located in Mamaroneck. It’s a unique eatery in Westchester County! They sell @duchesscookiesnyc in a variety of flavors like Churro, Red Velvet, Oreo Cheesecake, Funfetti and Peanut Butter Chip. We tried the S’mores (self-explanatory)and the Unicorn (a pink glitter sugar cookie stuffed with a strawberry cheesecake filling). We arrived at 12 when they first opened and the cookies were warm out of the oven. They are so good! We didn’t sample the cereal but they have a whole menu of flavors that you can customize into an ice cream cup, cone or milkshake with a topping and drizzle or you cane enjoy just a bowl of cereal! @milkncookies offer vegan ice cream and non-dairy milk for an additional cost. Cookies - $4.45/each Cup/cone - $7 Milkshake - $8 Cereal Bowl - $6 Sunday - Thursday: 12 PM - 10 PM Friday & Saturday: 12 PM - 12 AM 📍Milk N Cookies 270 Mamaroneck Avenue Mamaroneck, NY 10543
EAT: {Woodstock} After a 7+ mile hike to Overlook EAT: {Woodstock} After a 7+ mile hike to Overlook Mountain, we were starving. There are many restaurants that we still need to explore, but we were looking for some fast, tasty eats. @catskillmountainpizza is a local, family run business. Open since 1998, the restaurant serves pizza, pasta, salads, sandwiches and more. They have vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. We each chose a different gourmet slice. I was impressed with the variety of non-meat slices that they offered. My son enjoyed a pepperoni and sausage slice. We also shared a large mozzarella salad. Everything was really good and I recommend Catskill Mountain Pizza Company for a quick and satisfying meal! Please note, they are cash only, but there is an ATM onsite. Open: Monday - Thursday, 11 AM - 9 PM Friday & Saturday, 11 AM - 10 PM Closed Sundays 📍Catskill Mountain Pizza Company 51 Mill Hill Road Woodstock, NY 12498
EAT: {Yonkers} Macarons are my daughter’s favori EAT: {Yonkers} Macarons are my daughter’s favorite cookie! When we were at Ridge Hill in Yonkers she made us stop in to Le Macaron to try some macarons. We each picked one flavor and sampled a tiny bite of each. They have a large selection of different flavors but we ended up trying the mango, raspberry, lemon creme and lavender white chocolate. The mango and raspberry macarons had a jelly spread inside. The shop also serves hot and cold drinks, French pastries and gelato. Definitely worth a stop when you’re visiting Ridge Hill. 📍Le Macaron Ridge Hill 202 Market Street Yonkers, NY 10710
EAT: {Yorktown Heights} Our family loves bagels! A EAT: {Yorktown Heights} Our family loves bagels! A couple of weekends ago when we were in Yorktown Heights the kids were hungry so we stopped at @thebagelemporium to grab them a snack. My son enjoyed a bacon, egg, cheese, hash brown sandwich and my daughter shared her egg bagel with olive cream cheese with my husband. Surprisingly, I wasn’t hungry and didn’t have anything this trip (but there will be future visits!). However, I was impressed by the variety of bagels and cream cheeses that they make and sell. Besides the usual bagels you’d expect, they also have french toast bagels, super onion bagels and a Fruity Pebbles bagel! And they have so many varieties of cream cheese including savory, sweet and @tofuttibrands (dairy-free). When you get there close to closing time on a Sunday, the bagel selection was pretty limited. But they also sell baked goods (muffins, cookies and more) and make lots of different sandwiches, wraps, paninis and salads. They have something for everyone! The Bagel Emporium has several other locations in Westchester County including Armonk, Chappaqua, Port Chester and Tarrytown. They have won many @westchestermagazine “Best of Westchester” awards. You should check them out to see why! 📍The Bagel Emporium 1893 Commerce Street Yorktown Heights, NY 10598
