Good Morning, Good Evening

Sunday mornings start here. At Abraço.

With a cup of this.

And sometimes one or two more.

Sometimes I come alone, sometimes with a friend, but most often with Lauren. She likes her lattes :)

If weather permits, we'll sit outside for a bit. Lazzzy Sundays are for unwinding and catching air. On this particular Sunday, we dallied away time shopping on 9th Street. I love how this city, how my neighborhood in particular, is so accessible. Coffee on 7th. Shopping on 9th. Soft serve on 13th. Cake on 4th. Pizza every where between 12th and 14th.

I love how my own two feet can take me anywhere.

Parting ways in the afternoon, I rounded the corner on 10th to meet a friend who had chosen to spend his Sunday with a book and a latte. Hours past quick when you don't own a watch, and soon I found myself at dinner in Hell's Kitchen, and then rushing back downtown for dance class. I went home post-dance and organized life because dusk is the best time to gather thoughts.

Later that night, I met with Kathryn and Dan - the most awesome couple in the world. We dessert-ed over cups of soft serve - root beer float with brown butter solids for them, and a twist of graham and malted chocolate for myself.

Sundays are, indeed, the loveliest day of the week.

This is hands down my favorit post you have ever written. I cannot tell you how much I agree with everything you said. Sometimes I just don't want to stop walking because there is so much to see and do and it never gets old. And you place- I assume Pinisi, Momofuku and Abraco are some of the best!

You put into words what I always feel but can never quite say- Here's to Sundays- my favorite day of the week!

I would definitely be here to hang with a latte and a book :)

What a perfect description of a perfect Sunday. Nothing sounds better then lazily putzing around with friends in your own 'hood.

Hey Tasty Trekker!
