OH New York. was the first Saturday Iโve had since early 2020 to just walk thru the city. ( usually at the playground w my kiddos on the weekends ) It was AliVe . The West Village brunch crowds filled the streets ( literally everyone eats on the streets now and itโs quite fun ), washington square park was in full bloom, blues played in soho and people danced outside the Mercer while the fashion influencers posed on the cobblestones of Green Street. Nolita has a ton of new shops - la esquina, Cafe Habana & Gitane are still there thankfully.. and for a moment I felt back to 2019. We are getting there friends... ๐๐ค๐ป
