Over the weekend, we went out for some coffee and breakfast. I’ve missed getting breakfast outside. Now that things are slowly opening back up, I’m feeling a bit more comfortable with eating out or even getting take out. Back in April, I couldn’t even order take out without being paranoid the whole day. I found, and still find, it weird how others ordered take out almost every day. After the breakfast, we headed to Williamsburg for a fundraiser and then took a walk in Domino Park.
Spent a great afternoon seeing one of my good friends from college. She picked out a great tropical spot in the middle of NYC, Taco Dumbo. We were looking for a quick lunch and some good WiFi. She had a beer and I had a glass of cold rosé along with the tacos. We talked about life: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

There’s nothing better than the winter holidays and festivities. My favorite part are the decorations and lights that are put up everywhere. Oh and the holiday markets are the best!

Grab a hot cup of coffee and a warm cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll is a must-try by the way. It has a crusty outside with a soft inside. So good you won’t regret the five bucks it costs.
Perfect brunches, for me, consist of sweet plantains, empanadas, and caipirinhas. Why would anyone want anything more? Great food and drinks go hand-in-hand for me. I cannot stand places that offer drinks but can’t satisfy my appetite when the time comes. This leads me to one restaurant that does a hell of a job at providing food, drinks and a great ambiance, Favela Cubana.
