A cookie dough bar has arrived in NYC and people are losing their dang minds!! And for good reason too. The idea is a dream for your tastebuds! Introducing DŌ, or rather re-introducing to many of you because they have blown the heck up! They may have only been open for a few weeks but their press coverage has been insaneee. The video below that's been making the rounds on Facebook has over 40 million views alone!

The word on the new spot has spread so far and wide that I was in for a sweet surprise on my birthday from Little Duck, all the way from Oregon! Girl is up on her game! So up on her game, she made it in for a local delivery order before they had to shut it down due to demand!

I was so surprised to have these little cuties delivered to my door! And if you think I was excited.. you should have seen Chris' face when I made him wait a few minutes to snap a few pics 

Little Duck picked out two signature flavors, their Signature Chocolate Chip and Confetti and they did not disappoint! Truly just as delicious as you'd expect! And no need to have any warnings from your parents like when you were growing up about eating raw cookie dough 😉 DO uses pasteurized eggs and heat treated flour. If you pick up a cartoon and decide you're in the mood to bake some cookies half way through you can do that too!

Such a sweet and delicious surprise and I cannot wait to go to their shop. If you're in the New York area you can check them out in Greenwich Village and if you're not you can order online!

After a wonderful and busy weekend and week with the girls last weekend this weekend has been all about relaxation to me!

One thing I feel like I haven’t done much in the city is brunch! Brunch is a pretty popular thing in the city and there are plenty of places I’ve added to my to-do list but haven’t made it to yet. Today marks a beginning of a change in that though! As we headed downtown to the West Village for a southern style brunch at Lowcountry. Chris had read about the restaurant in a recent blog and we decided it was worth a shot!

So we headed down to Union Square and walked over to the West Village which is also known as Greenwich Village. Whatever name you call it, it’s known for being a little “uppity” and the home of a lot of celebrities. On our way down Chris pointed out Ben Stiller’s apartment. I’ve never really lived anywhere that it was common knowledge where celebrities live so it feels a little strange knowing where Ben Stiller and Madonna live to name a few!

After a short little walk we had made it to Lowcountry and the menu looked promising. As soon as I saw Eggs Benedict my mind was made up! Chris ended up getting some sort of biscuit with fried chicken and gravy, which reminded me a little bit of Pine State. We also ordered a side order of cheesy grits. Besides the fried grits sampler at Pine State Biscuits in Portland I’ve never had grits before so we thought we should try them. They were great! Nothing like the fried grit cakes, but everything hit the spot for a really nice brunch with a southern twist. The atmosphere was casual and really did set you inside a cafe that could have been in Georgia or anywhere down south. 

After brunch we spent a nice day walking through the village and ran into one of the first street faires I’ve seen since the summer. Another thing I’m looking forward to! If I’ve learned anything about myself since moving here it is that I love trying new kinds of food! Oh yes! The street food at the faires look too good to say no to too so this summer it’s on! For today it was all window shopping though.. 

Tomorrow I’m off to venture outside of the city to Long Island with Chris so I will have another location to fill you all in about! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
