New York City (Part 1); Times Square + Christmas Market Adventures

Sharing our adventures in the most beautiful city!! On our first day, we explored Times Square, the Columbus Circle Christmas Market, and had some amazing adventures around the city!

Quick stop at Gregory’s Coffee, which has the coziest vibe and the best coffee! 

Brunch at Le Pain Quotidien was a dream! I had a matcha latte with soy milk, and a dragon fruit smoothie bowl! It tasted just as good as it looks!!

Next stop, the Columbus Circle Christmas Market!  We had the best time exploring all of the shops, and picked up a few goodies along the way!  I picked up some vegan, gluten free chocolate (delish!), some hot apple cider, and a few, fun Christmas gifts for friends and family! This market was located right next to Central Park, so the view was beautiful!

Happy Wednesday everyone!! I hope you all have had the best week so far, and are looking forward to Christmas (only 5 more days)! To celebrate the beginning of Christmas Break, Ally and her boyfriend, and Doug and I flew out to New York City! This was my first time ever visiting the city, and it was an absolute dream!

On our first day, we started with a delicious brunch at Le Pain Quotidien, where I enjoyed a smoothie bowl and a hot matcha latte!  After brunch we explored Times Square, did a little shopping, and ended at the Columbus Circle Christmas Market!  Later that evening, we enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner at La Masseria, and enjoyed espresso for dessert!  I must say, the chef(s) at La Masseria are amazing, because they completely customized my order to be dairy and gluten free and it was heavenly! I ordered the daily special, which was mushrooms and shrimp over house-made fettuccine pasta, and they added a white wine sauce over the top! YUM!
