After living in hilly San Francisco, I really appreciate that New York is flat. Being that it's such a walkable city every time I visit I try to explore and really get lost in the different neighborhoods. This is the best way to stumble upon new gems that only a local would know about. One gem in particular that my sister and I discovered this past weekend was a wine and beer bar - The Otheroom in the West Village. Have you been? The exposed brick walls, dark lighting and cozy atmosphere would make for the perfect date night spot!
Olive Oil on Popcorn at Norma Kamali.
I could practically drink olive oil (it's the Italian in me) so this is going to be my new snack obsession!

I miss the MET! I was an art history major so I used to be there all the time.
I actually stumbled upon The Otheroom the same way! It is a great spot! I even like it in the daytime even more than at night!
I love all your NYC moments!!! xo, Kim www.eatsleepwear.com
Oh NY! so much to see and to be inspired from! Love your leopard jeans!

WOW! Your pictures are truly amazing! I can't wait to explore New York someday myself!
Love this! Any chance you know where your sister got her tan leather jacket? Thanks!
Walking is the best way to discover new places!! Love the photos and you seem to fit in perfectly!
I totally agree--getting lost and stumbling upon a cute place is the best way to go in NYC! It makes me feel like I'm an insider when I'm in the city! ;)
@Chelsea - Her jacket is from Banana Republic (but a year ago I believe).
,,,have you tried truffle oil on popcorn?, delish...promise!,,,ny = "concrete jungle where dreams are made of",,,so much fun to make new discoveries,,,
Ahhh, one day New York, one day!!
The art you find, whether it's in a museum or on the street, is absolutely stunning! And olive oil popcorn? Yum!
Nutella and Olive oil on popcorn? HEAVEN!!!!
Who makes your sister's leather jacket? I always wished for a sister to double my wardrobe.
Love this post (and your blog, in general)!
Such great pictures Alicia! Jealous you get to be in New York :)
popcorn and olive oil, why didn't I think of that! I have a local olive oil company that sponsors me. When I get a new batch of flavored oils I'll be snacking on a ton of popcorn also, I love that idea! What ended up being your favorite region?

ps, I know you love NYC but do you ever miss SF?

The Nutella picture is too cute!

I am officially a) curious about the Otherroom, and b) jealous of the cheetah jeans. I'll have to check it out... Sounds like a lovely weekend -- makes me feel like a bum for not having been to the Met in months!
An olive oil bar, I'm sold!
Bisous,

@la petite fashionista - Yes! I'm living in Upstate NY now!
Olive oil on popcorn...this might be a dumb question but is this a place in NYC where you can get all you can eat popcorn?
@Leesh - This tasting was at Norma Kamali - you can buy the olive oils there and eat as much popcorn can you want. ;))
Oh New York. So jealous! :))
