Weekend Wrap-Up: Sizzlin' In The City!

Nothing makes me happier than spending the weekend with the people I love. This weekend was a whirlwind - from Friday night massages at Yan May to dinner outside at Peels (one of my ultimate NYC favs)... from an an intensive shopping expedition with the ladies to dancing to the 90's jams of DJ Fulltime Fun (yes, that was really his name)... from Mexican brunch at Rocking Horse Cafe to biking through Williamsburg with my love.

If every weekend were as great as this one, I'd be a very lucky girl.

Hope you guys had a great weekend too! Sending good vibes your way as you seize this fine Monday! 

And now for a photo wrap-up, with a hint of Instagram!

We started the weekend early with a lovely date night under the trees at Prospect Park...

...and a picnic to-go from our local market.

Then Saturday, we attempted (and slowly succeeded) in figuring out how the new Citi Bikes work!

Then we biked our little butts to Smorgasburg for some post-workout grub.

And because the People's Pops' line was WAY TOO LONG, we went with...

...Brooklyn Oyster Party instead!

Delicious... and perfect for the scalding hot weather.

We made a quick detour to the Artists & Fleas market before biking home...

...and stopped for a quick (albeit, sweaty) photo.

You know I can never resist a good graffiti pic, compliments of some mysterious W'Burg artist.

What's a weekend without a little Mad Men over homemade spaghetti?

Shopping ensued on Sunday - seriously, it couldn't have been more beautiful outside.

And the weekend ended with two of my favorite ladies over Mexican at Rocking Horse Cafe
 (clearly, we inhaled the guac).

Weekend Wrap-Up: Homegirls and Hipsters

Sunshine and 70 degree weather make all the ladies smile.

This weekend was spent in the company of good friends (and boys in tight jeans). If you haven't been to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, you are missing out. It's full of interesting restaurants, boutiques, antique stores... and in keeping with its reputation, lots of eccentric hipster fashion.

And if you're not sold on the hipster fashion, how about lovely rooftop bars with a view of the Manhattan skyline?

Have I sold you on its grandeur yet?

Aren't you aching to leave your cubicle behind and take the L across the East River?

Shall we meet in Williamsburg?

I haven't done a Weekend Wrap-up in some time now, so I thought you deserved an Instagram play-by-play. Here we go...

Brunch at Parish Hall in Williamsburg - The red flannel hash was to die for - potatoes, beets, swiss chard and corned beef.

A leisurely stroll down N. 3rd to the waterfront.

Then on to Smorgasburg, the Brooklyn Flea Food Market for more food and drink...

...and great views of Manhattan.

When the sun comes out, so do the blankets and bikinis.  

It's a neon party (and apparently a male model meet-up)...

...and aren't they just the cutest?

A bottle of rosé on the rooftop of the Wythe Hotel.

Then some family time on Sunday with my two favorite guys...

...and some window shopping in Park Slope - What do you think, mom? A sparkly Mother of the Bride dress? I kid. I kid.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner! Let that give you hope on this dreary NYC Monday.
