On Saturday of the trip we woke up to a chilly, drizzly day.

We went to brunch at
Essex in the Lower East Side. Yes, I know, we brunched on a Saturday not a Sunday but one of our friends had the day off so it just fit better. They have this amazing brunch deal, $23 for a meal + three beverages (bloody mary, screwdriver or mimosa). Oh and did I mention that the server was awesome? She so kindly filled our mimosas when they reached the halfway point (and that only counted as one drink).

Eggs Benedict - I highly recommend this! |

Cool window and decor/baseballs rolling down the walls |
After brunch we wandered to the Chelsea Market and checked out the Meatpacking District. This is one of my favorite areas of NYC. So clean, fairly quiet and it's where a lot of designers have their studios and boutiques (
ahem. DVF,
Christian Louboutin,
Alexander McQueen,
Theory...). It's also the area of town where we went out the last time I was in the city.

For some reason I liked the stools at Brass Monkey.... |

Love the cobblestone streets and architecture |

I love old buildings next to new ones |
We topped the day off with some
New York pizza (I didn't have any the last time I was there) in Brooklyn and then ventured to some of the bars in the East Village (
Solas,
Summit, and
Penny Farthing).
