My recent trip to Paris was a bit of a tease. I arrived to a beautiful sunny day, only to wake up to an incredibly cold Saturday filled with pouring rain and snow. Snow! Ever the optimist, I instead focused on other elements that would make my little weekend getaway special – namely the food and drinks. Because, if there is ever a city to savor a leisurely meal in, it’s Paris. Here are a few of my favorites from the weekend.
Every so often, an evening takes you by surprise. Such was the case with a recent dinner at City Social. Between beautiful views of the city, artfully styled entrees and delicious wine, it’s been awhile since a Thursday night dinner has been so elegant – for this blogger at least!
Girl’s night is a treasured tradition among my group of friends. We each take turns planning fun night’s out all over London, with each evening completely different from the previous ones. For our most recent girl’s night, we went to Little Italy in Soho. From classic Italian dishes, to an unexpected magic show and a crowd ready to work off their meal with lots and lots of dancing, this venue has a lot to offer – and then some!
As an American expat in London, one of my favorite Sunday rituals is brunch. A time to gather with your girlfriends, catch-up and gossip a bit. Upon moving to London, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there are tons of great spots for brunch, including Jackson and Rye in Soho.
Interestingly, Jackson and Rye describes itself as, “Bringing a flavour of the USA to London.” However, when presented with this delicious coffee, one has to feel like J&R is bringing its own distinct style to the table.
