NYC Weekend Diary

by Rebecca Darakhshan

Nov 28, 2023

Friday night we kicked off the weekend at T Bar on the Upper East Side — killer vibes and even better sushi! I shared a burger and chicken Milanese with my fiancé — talk about a dynamic duo.

The next morning we got our Saturday groove on with a great workout at Soul Cycle in the Financial District, sweating out the week’s stress and gearing up for a day of fun.New York

We took a train to Tarrytown for lunch at Blue Hill at Stone Barns Farm. Cafeteria-style bliss with roast beef, kale salad and an apricot cake that stole the show, we toured the farm — nature and noms in one shot.New YorkNew York

Once we were back in the city, we took the ferry to Williamsburg for an apartment-warming bash with pizza from Fini and catching up with friends. We Ubered back to the West Village for a fancy dinner at Alice — the cacio e pepe ravioli is a game-changer — before a nightcap at Old Town Bar in Union Square sealed the deal.

Sunday was all about kicking back, watching football at Blue Haven South and gearing up for the Monday grind.

From uptown to downtown, workouts to farm tours and fancy dinners to chill Sundays, our weekend was a mix of everything awesome. We were ready to tackle Monday, but already counting down to the next adventure.
