Um, HELLO it was gorgeous this weekend. Look at me in my new Chloé shades wearing one of my spring jackets without a scarf. I was even wearing flats. How refreshing!
So last weekend it was snowy, snowy and this weekend was nothing but sunshiiiiine in the skies! I had to go into the office on Saturday, which was a bummer, so I feel like I only had one night and one day of the weekend but I definitely made the best of it. Yesterday I ran in the morning through Prospect Park. The lake was very blue and I was very happy. Spring is almost here! Hopefully this is not a tease.
Anyway, onto brunch:
I met up with my good friend Melissa after the both of us had very eventful weeks and we ended up at Good over in the Village. It seems to be a pretty good spot (no pun intended, seriously).
Melissa had the basil and goat cheese scramble:
I think that kind of looks gorgeous. This is what brunch is all about (besides mimosas of course – which we didn’t even get).
Also had some cheese grits that were a little spicy:
I’m more of a home fries girl myself, which is good because that’s what I got with my mushroom, broccoli, and ricotta salata omelet:
I think I’m growing up because I never used to like mushrooms. Also, this was the first time in my entire life I’ve ever ordered an omelet. Sometimes I think I had a weird upbringing because we never ate omelets, never watched the Sound of Music and never went skiing. I don’t know if those things have anything to do with each other besides the fact that they all came up in conversation yesterday. And apparently I like omelets. The ricotta was hiding underneath the omelet and that was a nice surprise.
So Good is pretty good. I already said that.
Afterwards, Melissa and I went somewhere that pretty much every New Yorker has an opinion about. And that includes me. One day I think I will post the reasons why I think I can call myself a New Yorker (in fact, I will do that this week!) and tomorrow I will let you know what our second destination was. Here’s a hint: I should have bought some milk.
Happy Monday!

I’m interested on your take as to why you are a New Yorker versus being from Michigan as I think that’s what you mean. I mean you do live in NY so I get now you are a New Yorker but I think you mean something else.
Oh yeah and the food is yummy looking.
Girl, I will never deny my Michigan roots. I love the D and I represent. I’m just saying when you move to New York, there’s always a question as to what a “real New Yorker” is. So that’s what I’ll be ‘splaining.
That photo of you is so spring. Makes me wanna go play with a camera outside.
i love grits. my kids have watched TSOM and been skiing
