Have you had a chance to make it to the top of NYC at the One World Trade Observatory yet? If you haven’t, make a day of it by checking off fun from both your holiday and bucket list. We recently headed downtown to check out the Winter ONEderland installation and then across the street to Brookfield Place for exactly that! Now until January 7th, visitors to the
Brought to you by BJ’s Wholesale Club I love any reason to host a fun gathering- especially during the holidays.

While I love to bring the kids to see the train show, there is just something special about a date night at the garden with winter music and lights, a glass of bubbly, and other enchanting winter scenes.

Located at 274 City Island Avenue, Clipper Coffee opened it’s doors back in September. We just had a chance to stop in for a latte and muffin this morning, and love what they’ve done so far with the space. Offering several seating options, this new cafe looks to be a welcomed addition to our borough’s island neighborhood. I opted for a Pumpkin Spice Latte and a blueberry
Just a short ride from the Bronx on Pondfield Road in Bronxville sits Blue Moon Cafe, a family friendly Mexican cafe’ and bar.

Last week we had a chance to stop in and check out the new The Coffee Break Company on Philip Avenue in the Bronx. They officially opened for their soft launch back in September and have so far proven to be a welcomed staple in the neighborhood offering both coffee, baked goods, lunch items, and more.
