A nice walk, and beautiful sunsets. Bell Works has a cute bar, pizza, burgers, coffee and community atrium

I have been searching for a white summer dress for travel. After many failed attempts I happened upon Purdy Girl off of Amsterdam. What a fun experience shopping at a cute boutique with unique items, oh how I missed this during the pandemic! The sales ladies and owner were unbelievably helpful, I found exactly what I wanted along with accessories to make a complete outfit, and it was on sale! I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m on the upper west side.

Half orders were perfect for our late lunch after SoJo Spa nearby. Our waitresses (the 4th generation of family owners) were so helpful with suggestions… the eggplant appetizer trio was delicious with a smoky salad version and one of the best babaganoush I’ve ever had. Our kebabs were moist, tender and tasty, and the bread light, warm and airy. To top it off we had the milky pistachio pudding.

They have great family style/party options that have us planning our next get together.

A wonderful oat milk latte, and a lovely chocolate included with my purchase, all served with a friendly smile.

Simple, yet beautiful in its own way. Walking along wooden and dirt paths through the mash with egrets, ducks, swans and more. A surprisingly high point of our visit.
