Time is passing by so quickly—March is coming to an end, and we are officially in spring! The weather has been so unpredictable lately. One day, I’m stepping out in a light jacket and short sleeves, and the next, I’m bundled up in knitwear and a puffer. But despite the weather roller coaster, I’m really enjoying the longer days. It's such a great feeling walking out of the office and still have daylight. Here are some of the highlights so far from this month:
I went to the East Village this lunch break and stopped by Niconeco Zakkaya, a really cute Japanese stationery store. I love wandering their store, checking out all the adorable things they have—from washi tapes, letters, and cards to pens and notebooks. I also found out that they are soon opening a café called Loaf on Paper in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and I’m so excited about it! I can’t wait to visit.
Afterwards, I went to get a matcha latte at Lê Phin, a Vietnamese coffee shop just steps away. On the way back to the office, a yellow flower tree caught my eye—the colors were so pretty. I'm really excited for next month, when colorful flowers will be everywhere.
My go-to outfit recently!
As the weather is getting nicer, I’m getting back into my morning walks before work. On this day, I left home early and got off at Grand Central Station, deciding to start my walk from there. I spotted a cute café called Dae Day and went in for a cappuccino. I really liked the design of their take-out cup—I love checking out the design details of the cafés and their cups, and how each place puts its own creative touch into the experience.
I walked along Lexington Avenue and stopped by Utopia Bagels. My colleague had recommended their bagels, so I’d been wanting to give them a try. There were a lot of people in the store when I arrived, but luckily, there was only one person ahead of me in line—though a long line quickly formed behind me! I got a plain bagel and a cinnamon raisin to-go, and they were really good!
It's always nice to browse through the fresh produce and flowers at the Union Square Green Market. Of course, I couldn't leave without the morning bun from Bread Alone!
After years of walking past Ole & Steen, admiring their pastry-filled window display, I finally went in and got the Cinnamon Social!
