FOOD:
Three restaurants in the city that really hit the spot this week:
- Zaytinya - If you love Turkish/Greek/Lebanese- type foods, you'll love it here. With their small plates style menu, my friends and I always order a variety and share so we get the best of everything. I've never had anything there that wasn't delicious, but you can't go wrong with their megalosalata, hummus, dalmades, and anything with lamb.
- La Pecora Bianca in Nomad - I had the arugula salad and spaghetti pomodoro which were chefs kiss *** delicious!
- This is technically a bakery, but the food is always incredible! Breads Bakery is a staple in New York - their lincoln square location is my favourite. You can't go wrong with their mini seasame sweet roll sandwiches, chopped red cabbage + arugula salad with tuna fish, or their burekas. You may walk out with most of the shop, but know that it's well worth it!
Speaking of food, restaurant week will be taking place Jan 21st - Feb 9th across all five boroughs. General reservations open Jan 7th. Stay tuned for updates!
HEALTH + WELLNESS:
For all you runners out there... have you signed up for the 2025 NYC Marathon yet? This article has all the nitty gritty details about registration and prize money, but you'll want to sign up sooner than later if you want to nab one of the 50,000 available spots.
New year, healthier body! Two things I'll be doing consistently are taking my vitamins regularly with a healthy fat (like avocado toast) so that they can absorb well, and taking this supplement. I've found that my gut has been less sensitive, I have lots more energy, and my hair and nails seem so much stronger and healthier. If you're looking to add colostrum to your diet, it's definitely worth a try!
