Share this because Beauty & Essex has been one of Share this because Beauty & Essex has been one of my favorite NYC restaurants for years now, and celebrating 15 years of friendship with my besties here made it even more special! 🥂

We ordered the Beauty & The Feast prix fixe menu, which is the perfect way to sample some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes.

Our favorites? The kale & apple salad (Chas is still dreaming about it 😅), tuna poke wonton tacos, grilled cheese & tomato soup dumplings, salmon, miso glazed eggplant, mac & cheese, and of course, the LES Doughnuts. They even surprised us with a celebratory cupcake to top off the night!! 🧁

Whether you’re planning a birthday dinner, girls’ night out, date night, or celebrating a special occasion, Beauty & Essex is one of the best NYC restaurants for it and it’s worth experiencing at least once.

Puerto Rico showed out in NYC this weekend and we Puerto Rico showed out in NYC this weekend and we were definitely in the mix! 🇵🇷

The fact that we went from showing up to the parade late af and thinking it was over, to literally marching in the parade is hilarious! Life has a funny way of rewarding your efforts lol

The energy. The music. The pride! Yea, the festival was on point! Pa’ que tú lo sepa. 😉

Believe it or not, the best views of NYC aren’t fr Believe it or not, the best views of NYC aren’t from a rooftop, they’re from the water.

Me and my girls hopped on @circlelinenyc’s Best of NYC Cruise and sailed all the way around Manhattan for 2.5 hours. We caught close-up views of the Statue of Liberty, 20 bridges, the stunning skyline, and sailed through all five boroughs with no crowds, no rush, and just the city at its finest.

Locals, don’t sleep on this experience! Add it to your spring and summer NYC bucket list and tag someone who’d love to do this.
