Change of Plans

We didn't end up going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art after all. Laura, Ann, and I walked to Cafe Lalo for lunch. This was the cafe where a scene of You've Got Mail was filmed! It was located in the Upper West Side, which we all agreed was our favorite part of NYC so far. It's a lot more laid back than other parts of the city.

We all ordered Lalo's favorite salad! It contained portobello mushrooms, sauteed cauliflower, avocado, bell peppers, tomatoes, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It came with an assortment of freshly baked bread that I dipped in olive oil.

We heard the cookies at Levain Bakery were the best in NYC, so we stopped by after lunch.

I settled on the Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie. It was really dense, thick, and soft on the inside. I loved the texture!

We made a trip to Trader Joe's! I love how cheap everything is and wish we had one in Birmingham! I bought Sunflower Butter, whole-wheat couscous, and dry roasted, unsalted slivered almonds.

How cool is that! There's a separate escalator for the shopping carts.

I also bought a running jacket and pullover at Lululemon in addition to my TJ's purchases.

We stopped in a chocolate shop for afternoon tea!

I am feeling much better after two doses of Dayquil, a Vitamin Water Zero, hot tea, and a veggie-centric lunch! I'm taking a break in the room and just ate a Pink Lady. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Have a great night!
