Sunny Day Brunch with Mica

It was 82 degrees in New York City today and everyone was out walking on the streets. I woke up at 11am with Mica all dressed up getting ready to meet her family in the afternoon. I was in no mood to make myself anything to eat and told I her I might just eat out before work. Then she had the brilliant idea of us doing brunch before she meets her family. I hurriedly got dressed and bust out my shorts from storage and we head out to La Petite, a few blocks from my work in the Village. It's been so long since I've worn light clothing and I felt like a fool bringing an extra cardigan out because I never found the need to wear it today. Funny thing happened while I was getting dressed, I was putting my make-up on and I had this uncomfortable feeling and I couldn't understand what it was. I kept readjusting my shirt until I realized what that feeling was...I was sweating! It took me a few seconds to realize I've forgotten what it felt like to sweat. It sounds ridiculous but I'm so serious.

Mica and I are planning on doing regular Sunday brunches so we can scope around and check out the best food in the city. Yey! I found another eating buddy!

We had a glorious meal of Brazilian style eggs benedict with a side of salad and grilled potatoes and a glass of mimosa. We walked to the my workplace where I left my heavy bag and window shopped along Bleecker St. We went to this sample sale store selling half price branded apparel. I got a cute little Ben Sherman purple dress for $50 (which I'm wearing tomorrow!) and Mica scored a juicy couture short sleeved peacoat for $99. We bought frozen yoghurt from Yoghurtland and sat by the stairs on the back entrance of the restaurant and chatted until my shift started.

On the corner is Bleecker Street Pizza
where they make the Nonna Maria,
the BEST pizza ever!

The work day had a slow start but it quickly got busy as the night crept in. We were swamped and I was so tired. By 10:30pm, my body's batteries had begun to die and I was moving in slow motion. I dragged my feet to the subway and was only too glad that my wait for the train didn't take so long and I was home soon after that.

I have to be up in less than 6 hours since Mica and I are attending another youth division meeting at the culture center. I really just wanted to share the photos here since it's rare that I take photos anymore. Tomorrow's forecast will be 88 degrees. Another reason to stay outside and enjoy NY. I'll try to take more photos. Good night!
