With the July 4th season coming and going, we can now officially say that summer is truly here!  When it comes to the warmer weather, there is nothing better than to kick back in the shade or the A/C with a tasty drink to cool yourself down from all the heat and humidity we’ve been having lately. Well, one of our favorite new hot spots in the Upper East Side, Treadwell Park, has come up with some delicious new Summer Beer Floats to try and delectify the next time you are in the area!

Just like Peanut Butter & Jelly, when two things fuse together really well, it generally means that people are really going to enjoy it.  That can be said and more for Ponty Bistro, with two locations in Gramercy Park and Harlem, who for over eight years has blended the best of French & West African cuisine for the masses of people who come in to enjoy.  I got to experience their delightful Gramercy Park location last night, and was incredibly impressed not only by the food and decor, but how the restaurant came to be in the first place.

You can’t get better, in terms of the summer, than Manhattan when it comes to getting outdoors and really experiencing the best of what this city has to offer.  This includes land, and see, and one particular hotel is going above and beyond to make sure their guests get to experience both in the best way possible.  To celebrate the summer season.

Any holiday that celebrates a refreshing beverage works in my books!  One of them happens to be National Mojito Day is approaching on July 11^th.  Following one of the biggest holidays in the country, July 4^th, one of our favorite restaurants is planning on doing some big things to celebrate the day.  This particular place is called Natsumi Tapas, located in the heart of Gramercy at 323 3^rd Avenue.

Walking along the upper west side, you’re bound to wander past dozens of small, probably delicious, beautifully decorated restaurants. The UWS looks, to me, how I imagined New York would be before I moved here. Lots of impeccably dressed people who JUST left the gym, having a light lunch and glass of wine (probably sitting out on the sidewalk cafe) at one of these gorgeous, privately owned restaurants, before going home to get ready to go to the theatre, or something. Every now and then, because of my awesome job eating and drinking and then telling y’all about it, I get to pretend to be one of these UWS dream-people.
