Pumpkin and pink champagne. Each $2.75
La Maison du Macaron, New York NY
These macarons were delicious and I loved the flavor options. The loungey vibe of the space was also nice and relaxing. Noms!
Coffee. Small $2.25
Brooklyn Bridge.
$2.75
Dough, New York NY
Mmm, I liked this donut. The dough was really nice and had a good chew to it. I thought that it was too heavily glazed though especially since the hibiscus glaze was very sweet.
New York City skyline.
Hoisin, cucumber, scallion. $10
Momofuku Ssam Bar, New York NY
The super fatty pork belly pieces had a great flavor, but there was just too much grease everywhere! The buns were literally soaked in grease from the pool underneath. Even the cucumbers couldn’t cut the flavor of the grease. I loved the hot sauce that came in the tiny squirt bottle (although it wasn’t very hot).
Stateside saison beer. $9
Empire Fulton Ferry State Park, Brooklyn Bridge.
Aztec chocolate ice cream, tequila cherries, toasted almonds. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
This sundae was delicious and I think it was the tequila cherries and its juices that put it over the top! The Aztec chocolate ice cream was also very yummy.
National Harbor MD.
Vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella. Happy hour $3.50
Rubirosa, New York NY
This pizza was delicious and nicely priced by the slice during happy hour! The vodka sauce was yummy and the melted fres mozzarella cheese was a perfectly simple topping. Their pizza crust is thin and tasted great. Noms!

Madison Square Park.
Original square yeast filled doughnut. $3.75
Doughnut Plant, New York NY
I liked this donut. I wish there would have been more of the yummy jam filling though. The donut itself had a great chewiness to it that I enjoyed, and it wasn’t overly sweet. Mmm…
Father Demo Square.
Single scoop $4
Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, New York NY
This was a dense ice cream, but I liked it! The peaches and cream flavor was great and it was super cold so it last for the duration of our walk around the waterfront.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Sparkling wine and orange juice. $7
Dish DUMBO, New York NY
This place was a joke! they didn’t even have any drink menus and the service was completely clueless and incompetent! My mimosa was ok, but their wines tasted like crap. No thank you!
New York City view.
Rich chocolate cake, almond brittle, chocolate caramel. 3 course brunch $19
Fuego Cocina y Tequileria, Arlington VA
This flan was really different. It had a really firm texture which I wasn’t a fan of. It was more like a hardened custard than a beautifully soft flan. They place it on top of the chocolate cake and drench it in sauce so this is a very thick and rich dessert. It was way too sweet and sugary for me so I wasn’t a fan.
Government House, Annapolis MD.
With mustard on rye. 19.75
Katz Delicatessen, New York NY
This sandwich was delicious and HUGE! But I guess you would expect a humongous sandwich for almost twenty bucks. The pastrami was SO flavorful and beautifully smoked. The mustard had a great tang. The rye bread wasn’t my favorite since I’ve had better elsewhere. This was definitely a two meal sandwich!
Pickles. Complimentary
These pickles were great with a very interesting texture that I hadn’t experienced before. It’s hard to describe but it definitely wasn’t that of your typical pickle.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Mini, round custard filled doughnut. $3.50
Doughnut Plant, New York NY
I liked this donut. The custard filling was very tasty and the bruleed top was fun. The doughseed was fairly small though and I thought the price was a lil’ excessive.
Brooklyn Bridge.
Tomato jam, tempura onion rings. Happy hour $5
SEI, Washington DC
Mmm, these were good. The small Kobe beef patties were pretty juicy and flavorful, and you can’t go wrong with tempura fried onion rings! 🙂
