My friend Josh is moving to Chicago at the end of June, so I am trying to squeeze in as much time with him while I still can. We planned to meet up with a few fellow Country Day kids for brunch and I left the picking up to Josh. He chose Prune because he…

Want a party? Go to Bagatelle for brunch. Believe me, you need to be briefed beforehand so you know what you’re getting into. We arrived at 1:30 on Saturday to celebrate Steph’s bday, and I saw a few disbelievers in the group. I think they were just surprised to see so many sequined dresses in…

I was so happy to have Carlen in the city all weekend! After a yummy dinner at The Smith on Friday and a great lunch at Nanoosh (a hummus restaurant near my apartment) on Saturday, we had to finish off the weekend with a great Sunday brunch (the trifecta). Since the weather gods decided to…
