RESTAURANT ROUNDUP: NEW YORK CITY

DURING SPRING BREAK IN NYC, ASIDE FROM THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURING, I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS WALKING FROM MEAL TO MEAL. I SHOULDN'T FEEL GUILTY, AFTER ALL ISN'T THAT WHAT VACATION IS ALL ABOUT? I DISCOVERED A FEW BRUNCH SPOTS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AMAZING COFFEE SHOPS TO GET A MUCH NEEDED CAFFEINE FIX.

CAFE HENRIE

CAFE HENRIE, LOCATED ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE IS A GREAT PLACE TO GRAB A MORNING CUP OF COFFEE AND ENJOY A LIGHT MENU OF FLAVORFUL BITES. ITS PINK INTERIOR AND ARTWORK CREATE A UNIQUE SCENE. THE BEST PART OF THIS SPOT IS THE AND OCCASIONAL HAWAIIAN TUNES SOFTLY PLAYING ON THE STEREO.

TWO HANDS CAFE

TUCKED AWAY IN LITTLE ITALY IS TWO HANDS NYC. THIS AUSTRALIAN OWNED CAFE INCLUDES A REFRESHING MENU OF SMOOTHIES, AVOCADO TOAST AND OTHER BAKED GOODS. A CROWD PLEASER IS THE BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED ACAI BOWL TOPPED WITH GRANOLA, COCONUT, CHIA SEEDS AND BERRIES. THIS AUSSIE EATERY WILL SATISFY YOUR BRUNCH CRAVINGS AND HAVE YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE.

THE LUCKY BEE

ALTHOUGH THE LUCKY BEE HAS ONLY BEEN OPEN FOR A FEW MONTHS, IT'S GAINING MAJOR POPULARITY. THE ECLECTIC ASIAN-INSPIRED DISHES AT THIS RESTAURANT INCLUDE TUNA TARTARE SERVED WITH CRISPY SHRIMP CHIPS, PRAWN CURRY, STEAMED PORK AND SESAME DUMPLINGS AND MORE. IT WILL BE EXCITING TO RETURN AS THE MENU CONTINUES TO EXPAND AND THEIR POPULARITY CONTINUES TO PEAK. STOP BY THE LUCKY BEE TO GET A FLARE OF FLAVOR IN THIS FUNKY JOINT.
