I lost my camera during this trip so all I have are iphone photos to share. The person who has my camera has the more vivid details of the trip including the BlogHer conference memories. Yet I still love you New York.

I have so much love for New York City that I can overlook its suffocating humidity. I have been adding to my list of places to eat and things to do for over a year and my plotted list ended up looking like this:

With all this on my menu plus all the fun stuff that BlogHer had to offer, I needed at least a month to make a dent in the list. Here are a few of the highlights of what I did manage to squeeze in:

From the @waffletruck – Belgian waffle, strawberries, banana and nutella – fresh fresh fresh and good good good

In the lower level of the Plaza Hotel there is a Food Hall with all types of delectable treats. We shared a trio of rolls: crab, lobster, and shrimp. And then I had a s’more made to order from the Three Tarts counter where their gourmet marshmallows are the stars.

Through the phone booth of a small hot dog shop you can enter a speakeasy style bar with silly taxidermy (jackalope) and specialty cocktails. I had the “mescal mule” a mescal laced concoction with passion fruit puree and house made ginger beer.

I’d be big as a house if I had easy access to the N.Y. Deli quick and delish breakfast of bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll.
