If you follow me on Instagram, then you were inundated with pictures from my NYC trend walk yesterday. We were looking at food, fragrance, fashion and art for inspiration. This was not a public food crawl or trend walk, however I highly recommend exploring NYC and all it has to offer. On this particular walk we only focused on a small area in Lower Manhattan, from the Lower East Side, to SoHo, Greenwich Village, and ended in the West Village.
Here's a snapshot of our day...

They have hundreds of teas, herbs, and spices.

Probably my favorite place and if I lived in the city I would eat here every morning.
Check out their menu, I can't even begin to describe the many different flavor combinations to you.
West Village
Try popGelato, popSorbetto, or YogurtPop.
West Village
Try the seasonal flights at the Cheese Bar. I found this cute sign over at the shop.
West Village
Try The Skinny / The Hangover / Hot Pretzel / Cookies and Milk
West Village
They only sell three things...salt, chocolate and bitters...however they also have the most beautiful flowers
West Village
The Meadow
Komforte Chocolates
West Village
They have some of the best juices. I think they have 12 locations now in NYC, so check them out next time you're in the city.
