A Day in NYC
I don’t travel too often for work, but this week I’m in NYC for a work event. It made for an interesting and busy day yesterday, but I managed to capture a few scenes on my phone. What did we do before iphones? I’ll keep this day of meals simple for a little What I Ate Wednesday in NYC. I arrived yesterday afternoon (and I’m heading out this morning) so it’s been a very quick trip.
Breakfast
I ate a hearty breakfast before heading to the airport, since I knew it might be awhile before I was able to catch lunch. I did the protein powder in the yogurt trick to give this bowl a little more staying power.
Lunch
After arriving in NYC, I had to get some work done before our event later in the evening. I ate while working, which was actually quite peaceful, despite the flurry of e-mails.
I stopped by a little Indian restaurant that was around the corner from my hotel, and loaded up on a vegetable curry with a little rice and naan. It was really filling, which was good since I knew I wouldn’t be eating dinner at a reasonable hour.
Dinner
Our event was at the Plaza, which was quite elegant. I was working most of the evening, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time to grab a bite. After the event ended, I was able to snag a few bites and a glass of wine. (Nothing like carbs + cheese!) But I saved some of my appetite for a real dinner later.
We went to a really cool French restaurant called Rue 57 that had everything, so we ended up ordering a lot of small plates to share. I had some beet salad with goat cheese, some “street” corn, and a whole bunch of french fries. I also had a little wine and a few cups of tea. *Whew* I guess you have to eat a lot when you’re only in the big city for a day!
What’s on your plate today?
Beet Salad is always a favorite for me, yum.
honestly, something about fries in a cone just makes my mouth water. I always love fries.
They taste better that way! It’s just a fact 🙂
Before iPhones, well I remember myself carrying a camera all over the places I went!!
Wow!! So fun!! Dinner looks amazing!! Today I had an international lunch at my school!! So that was super fun!! 🙂
Indian food is my ish – I love it! Have a blast in NYC – it’s super fun, for a short period of time haha I couldn’t live there anymore! Happy Hump Day Liz! -Iva
I don’t know what “street” corn is but I definitely want some! 🙂
It was sooo good! I don’t know what’s in said street corn but it was delicious!
Wow that all just looks fabulous. Yes please.
Hey Liz! We’ll have to have a blog meet-up next time you’re in NYC…however, maybe not at the Plaza:) Happy WIAW!
Haha I wish I had been at the plaza for a blogger meet up! Maybe someday 🙂
I like adding protein powder to my yogurt too. This morning, I had an oatmeal, fruit and yogurt bowl. So delicious! Have fun in the big city!
It’s such an easy way to get some extra protein!
carbs + cheese = true love.
