A few days of food in NYC

• dinner with nice vegan sauces at V-Note and British banana bread beer at Jones Wood Foundry with Ruchi
  
• totally decent bagels at Bagelworks and coffee at Java Girl before starting our >12 miles of walking each day
  
• brunch at Tom's Restaurant (corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and grits was unexpectedly delicious, lemon ricotta pancakes were expectedly delicious) before strolling through Prospect Park and Park Slope
  
• nothing eaten while wandering from Grand Central Station down Broadway past touristy things, but a British baking book was procured from Strand
  
• Fentiman's rose lemonade at Chelsea Market after seeing the Young Dancemakers Company at the High Line park in the rain
  
• dinner at Hi Life with Rula and Ruchi
  
• iced tea at East Harlem Cafe after walking through Central Park with Rula
  
• falafel snack at Mamoun's before walking through the East Village and down the East River
  
• quinoa salad (vegetables! finally!) at Berkli Parc, then pistachio gelato at La Cremeria before people-watching through Little Italy, Chinatown, and the South Street Seaport
  
• lavender lemonade at Teany to recharge legs and phone after making it all the way down to Battery Park (Gimme doesn't have seating, boo)
  
• pesto and wine at Brittain's apartment in Williamsburg, then drinks at Sweet Ups
  
• brunch at Sarabeth's with Rula before one last stroll through Central Park
  
• bagels for plane food and presents from Ess-a-Bagel
