Spring is in full bloom in the Northeast and I’m ready to take full advantage of it! While our greeting to Coastal Connecticut was a little on the colder side, the sunny day and warmer weather is a perfect reminder as to why we decided to make the move. For the first true Spring weekend (Easter), we started off the festivities by meeting dear friends in the city for dinner. They just came back from an extended stay in Florida and this was our first chance seeing them in a while.
We got to the city a little earlier and popped up to the Upper East Side from Grand Central. Although we haven’t lived there in nearly three years, this neighborhood will always feel like home. We grabbed a tiny caffeine pick-me-up with espressos to go from Poppi. I’ve been wanting to come here for a while, after hearing glowing reviews from a few friends. This spot is perfectly cozy and I can’t wait to return for a glass of rosĂ© under the orange umbrellas. With coffee in hand, we strolled through Central Park which was positively glowing from the blooming cherry blossoms. No matter what pictures you’ve seen of this annual event, I promise its even prettier in person.
After getting in our steps for the day, we a quick pre-dinner cocktail at Match 65. This French brassiere is pretty well known and it truly felt like a slice of Paris. Insider tip, grab a tiny table next to the bar for some outstanding people-watching and snack of a plate of pomme frittes. Alongside my La Piscine Rosée, it was the perfect way to officially begin the evening and the weekend.
Now, on to the main event, Dinner at JoJo. Opened on East 64th Street in 1991, this is Jean-George’s first restaurant and is still incredibly cherished. The duplex townhome is the perfect location for a long dinner with close friends, a shared bottle of wine, and endless laughter. It was our first time dining here, but I know I’ll be back! The mile high carrot cake alone is with a visit.
Welcome Spring! If this magical night in the city is any indication, I know there’s only incredible things to come in the new season. Spring Night in the City
