| Our first stop was 'Mud' and it is a charming place with seating inside and out in their patio. I love the sign. I felt like I was stepping back into another time in my life. The food was excellent, and they make a mean iced coffee too. |
 |
| For lunch I had a bowl of their homemade granola, yogurt and fresh fruit and it was divine. I would imagine their brunch menu would be divine! |
 |
| We shared this quesidilla made with black beans and mango and it was excellent |
 |
| I heard about The Big Gay Ice Cream Shop on the food channel, so being lovers of ice cream, we had to go and try it out! |
 |
| We shared a 'Salty Pimp' and I would highly recommend it - vanilla, caramel, sea salt and dipped in chocolate. It was well worth the subway ride. |
 |
| Harney and Sons Tea Lounge in Soho, after a tiring day of walking, shopping and having fun. Sit down for a brewed pot of tea and a cookie. Divine. An unbelievable variety of teas - we had Jasmine Pearl Tea. |
 |
| The great wall of tea! |
 |
| We took the subway over to Brooklyn for an arts festival. Had a nice sandwich and a pretty darn wonderful latte at The Brooklyn Roasting Company. They had tables and living room settings inside an industrial building. The coffee was smooth, rich and delicious. |

 |
| Between subways, we ran into this place with huge fabric donut pillows on the wall. They make gourmet donuts. Donut Plant - jelly donuts are square. We picked up a few and were on the run! |
 |
| Stopped in for breakfast at The Popover Cafe |
 |
| I had a bowl of oatmeal and this amazing light, fluffy and enormous popover with strawberry butter! And a good cup of coffee! |
 |
| Can you tell that breakfast is my favorite meal? The Grey Dog Cafe. A greeter shows you a bandana, and you have to remember the color, because that bandana is marking where your table is inside the restaurant. You stand in line to order your breakfast. We shared a spinach and feta cheese omelet, and some very delicious french toast with a side of fruit. |
 |
| The latte, also amazing, on a very unique table top of an old map of NY |
 |
| Birch Coffee. I've actually had their coffee before, and they make a cold brew too, that you can make yourself and store in your frig for more coffee delights. |
 |
| We both ordered their regular size latte. It was the most delicious of all of the latte's that I had this week. Hands down. Should have ordered the larger size. I could have easily ordered a second, but I restrained myself. |
 |
| And last, but certainly not least, breakfast at Irving Farm. It's a long narrow place, like most NY establishments. The best bakery section, with unusual morsels of goodness. I had a rhubarb scone, and a cup of stick to your ribs oatmeal, and a vanilla latte. I had heard that they make their own vanilla syrup, so I had to give it a try. Creamy deliciousness in a cup. I want to go back and have one of their muffins, and another vanilla latte. |
