On Sunday, we went to the New York Coffee Festival. Hours of coffee, coffee and more coffee. Our hands were shaking when we left, haha. Coffee places from around NY and Brooklyn gave out samples of their coffees. Hot, cold, flavored, spiced, espressos and everything else you can think of. They had latte art competitions, barista interviews and live music too. It was nice to just walk around and sip coffee.
I was kinda hoping people would talk about their products and special things to promote why people should visit their coffee shop or whatever, but too many times it was just more awkward silence until my husband or I asked questions, which kinda ends after “what country is the coffee from”. I love coffee and I have a barista certificate, but that doesn’t mean I have questions to every single coffee shop. They should work on their promoting skills. But other than that, I had a lot of fun. I even ended up with two books and a box of tea coffee. 

I sondags var vi pa the New York Coffee Festival. Timmar av kaffe, kaffe och mer kaffe. Vara hander skakade nar vi gick darifran, haha. Kaffestallen fran NY och Brooklyn gav ut prov av deras kaffe. Varmt, kallt, smaksatt, kryddat, espressos och allt annat du kan tanka dig. De hade latte konst tavlingar, barista intervjuer och live musik ocksa. Det var trevligt att bara ga rund och sippa pa kaffe. 
Jag hoppades dock att folk skulle prata om sina produkter och special grejer for att promota varfor folk borde besoka deras kaffestalle eller liknande, men alldeles for manga ganger var det mer bara obekvam tystnad tills min man eller jag stallde fragor, vilket typ slutar efter “vilket land kommer kaffet ifran”. Jag alskar kaffe och jag har ett barista certifikat, men det betyder ju inte att jag har fragor till varje kaffestalle. De borde jobba pa deras promoting skills. Men annars, jag hade valdigt roligt. Jag kopte t.o.m tva bocker och en box med te kaffe. 

Yesterday we walked up to West Village. We were looking for a place with an outdoor seating to have lunch at and we found The Place. They are recommended by Zagat, Michelin and TripAdvisor, so we did not expect anything less than amazing food. I ordered the avocado toast and added bacon and Jim got the pancakes. Both were very very good. A cute place and not a crazy expensive brunch. 

Vi letade efter ett stalle att ata lunch pa nar vi var i Midtown igar. Vi gick forbi ett stalle vid namn BarBacon. Sjalvklart var vi tvugna att ga in. Bacon heaven!! Vi bada bestallde in lite mer av vanlig brunch mat som var sa otroligt gott och jag gar garna dit igen for att prova alla de andra mer intressanta sakerna de hade pa menyn. Det var en typisk sportsbar, valdigt trevlig personal och saklart massor med bacon. De hade t.o.m bacon vodka (vi fick smakprov och det smakade ruttet piss men som det ar bra for deras bloody mary’s med bacon i). Absolut ett stalle att rekommendera om ni ska ata i Hell’s Kitchen.

We were looking for a place to eat lunch at when we were in Midtown yesterday. We walked by a place called BarBacon. Of course we had to walk in. Bacon heaven!! We both ordered a little bit more of normal brunch food that was incredibly tasty and I would love to go back and try all the other more interesting stuff they had on the menu. It was a typical sportsbar, very nice staff and of course lots of bacon. They even had bacon vodka (we got a sample and it tasted like rotten pee but it’s good for their bloody mary’s with bacon in). Absolutely a place to recommend if you’re gonna eat in Hell’s Kitchen.
