One Lucky Blogger

We’re having great weather to play in this great city!!!

IMG_3609 (427x640)

Here are more photos of our breakfast at the happy organic coffee shop 🙂

IMG_3568 (427x640)

IMG_3570 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3573 (640x427) (2)

Cappuccino!

IMG_3574 (427x640)

IMG_3575 (640x427)

 

IMG_3576 (427x640)

IMG_3579 (427x640)  IMG_3584 (427x640)

After breakfast we went to visit the 9/11 Memorial. I can’t believe it’s almost been 10 years. It seems like it was just yesterday. Despite the time that has passed, this was my first visit and I can hardly imagine how horrible that day must have been here.

IMG_3591 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3595 (640x427) (2) 

We decided to walk through the neighborhoods to our museum destination and ended up walking for about an hour. NYC exercise!!

IMG_3596 (427x640)

IMG_3592 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3597 (640x427) (2) IMG_3634 (640x427) (2)

Our unisex purse 😉

IMG_3599 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3601 (640x427) (2)

Matt said I would love to visit this shop

:mrgreen: this !

IMG_3602 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3604 (640x427) (2)

A CUPCAKE truck!?

IMG_3605 (640x427) (2) IMG_3606 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3607 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3647 (427x640)

Static!!

IMG_3651 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3652 (640x427) (2)

We passed the famous Max Brenner Chocolate Shop and just HAD to step inside, which meant we just HAD to try something!!

IMG_3611 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3613 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3616 (640x427) (2)

We each chose a chocolate to save for later and the woman at the registered convinced us to buy a SYRINGE of hot melted chocolate to shoot up.

IMG_3620 (640x427) (2)

Nothin’ like chocolate at 10AM!

IMG_3625 (640x427) (2) IMG_3627 (640x427)

We carried on our way and arrived at our destination: The Museum Of Sex!!

IMG_3635 (640x427) (2)

Matt’s choice, not mine 😉

IMG_3636 (640x427) (2)

We only had about an hour, so we didn’t have time for any of the bigger museums. This one was a good short fit. I’ll spare you the graphic details of the exhibits!! It was really interesting, but also under renovations and therefore a bit bare 🙁

IMG_3637 (640x427) (2) IMG_3639 (640x427) IMG_3641 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3642 (427x640)

The gift shop was really neat!

IMG_3644 (640x427)

At noon we headed back down to meet – GENA! – for lunch! Gena and I have been blog friends for a long time – emailing and what not – and I’ve met her twice in person now. Third time’s a charm! She’s such a New Yorker and of course we wanted to go to One Lucky Duck for lunch.

IMG_3671 (427x640)

Wish I could go to PURE too!

IMG_3654 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3655 (640x427) (2)

IMG_3660 (640x427) (2)

I may not be a raw foodist, but I sure love me some raw food!

Matt, Gena and I each got beautiful salads.

IMG_3667 (640x427)

Mine was the s&m salad with greens, avocado, hemp seeds, dulse [seaweed like stuff!], argon-lemon dressing and QUAKERS!!!!!!!!!! It was an awesome salad (although a little too much oil dressing – forgot to get it on the side!!) I shared a lot with Matt.

IMG_3668 (640x427) (2)

Matt’s was a seaweed delight

IMG_3663 (640x427)

Gena‘s was all herb and rocked with flavor (she gave me a bite!)

IMG_3669 (640x427) (2)

I fell in love with these Rosemary Quakers, which are made with almonds, flax, nutritional yeast, rosemary and salt, a year or so ago and they are to-die-for!

IMG_3684 (640x427)

Gena was too sweet and bought us some desserts to try. AND a bag of quakers!! Thank you so much Gena!

IMG_3686 (427x640) (2)

IMG_3657 (640x427) (2)

An almond butter cookie…

IMG_3675 (640x427) (2)

A caramel…

IMG_3682 (640x427)

And a mallomar, which was by far the best because of the vanilla coconut icing!! I had a bite of each cookie 🙂

IMG_3683 (640x427)

We said our goodbyes and made our way back to the subway, to the hotel, and blogging, and oh-mi-gosh I’m going to be late for my own blog meet-up at the Brooklyn Brewery!!!!

xoxo,

KERF

    I have always wanted to go to the Museum of Sex but I never had the guts! Walking in the city is the best and cheapest form of exercise- I live in the outer boroughs, which isn’t as fun, but when I went to school in the city, I’d walk from 68th St. all the way down to 14th St. and call it my daily exercise. I hope you’re having fun!

    Yeah for unisex purse! I have that purse I have resewn the straps, had the zipper replaced. I love it. I used it for all of my Peace Corps service and it never molded and I was never robbed. I drag it on all my vacations. It holds so much more than it looks like it should be able to. Who ever invented the kidney bag has my sincere appreciation.

    I would have died of embarrasment just WALKING BY that museum. I didn’t know anything like that even existed. (But, hey, I live in Oklahoma.) 🙂 The womens urinal cracked me up.

    Now, the chocolate shop….That’s what I’m talking about baby!!! I could spent hours in a place like that. Sad, I know.

    Looks like you’re having a great time. 🙂

    What a great walk from ground zero up near Union Square…. I do that walk in the summers with my dogs! I actually live right near Max Brenners (but more west).

    Joe’s Coffee is great… and there is a vegan restaurant on the Upper West Side called Cafe Blossom which is pretty good too…

    Have lots of fun…

    One of the great things about living in NYC is all the walking you get to do. Even when riding the subway there are often a lot of steps to go up and down! Glad you got to see the cupcake truck. If you were here longer, I’d suggest you hit up the waffle truck and of course the Treats Truck. I love the macaroons from One Lucky Duck! Enjoy the rest of your time in NYC!

If you’re ever in Charleston, I’d love to meet up with you. I think it’s awesome that you connect with your readers throughout your travels. I also tried my first batch of overnight oats this week and I’m wasn’t sure I could love anything more than the oatmeal pancakes….thanks!

    Kath, looks like you did a lot of fun things in NYC. So much good food there. I went to the Museum of Sex a few years ago when I was in NYC and thought it was not worth the money. Surprisingly unimpressive and bare then. Hope you got a chance to stroll through central park!

    I’ll have to try that place next time we’re in NYC. Don’t know if the husband will go for raw food, but maybe I can trick him.

    Oh, how I love NY! I am such a walker and I love walking to get everywhere! Looks like a nice lunch!

    LOVE IT! My BF and I live just 40 minutes outside of Midtown Manhattan, and we’ve been to the Museum of Sex. It was actually pretty cool 🙂
