New York is a sweaty place these days. Summer has just begun and we have between 27 an 32°c every day and it’s so humid that it feels like walking into a sauna every time you leave your home. But this is what I love. I prefer to be able to sweat whenever I want and then go inside to sit by the air conditioner rather than freeze no matter where I am.
Anyway. Hi!
I thought I would share some photos from Saturday when my husband and I took the subway up to 190 St and walked around the area of where The Met Cloister is. It’s so beautiful there in the spring/summer. I have been there once before and I have been wanting to bring Jim up there. Beautiful view of the Hudson River and nice walks.
We got off the subway on the wrong side and some weird person with barely any teeth took us around and told us many stories about the area, which actually was fun. The Cloister is kinda small and it doesn’t take much time to go through it, but it’s interesting and Jim seemed to enjoy it. I mostly just wanted to get away from the city and be in the nature for a few hours. It’s nice to be able to do this and not even leave Manhattan.

New York ar svettigt dessa dagar. Sommaren har precis borjat och vi har mellan 27 och 32°c varje dag och det ar sa fuktigt att det kanns som att ga in i en bastu varje gang man lamnar hemmet. Men detta ar vad jag alskar. Jag foredrar att kunna vara svettig och nar jag vill kunna ga in och sitta vid air conditioner istallet for att frysa vart jag an ar.
Iallafall. Hej!
Jag tankte dela nagra foton fran i lordags da jag och min man tog tunnelbanan upp till 190 St och promenerade runt i omradet dar The Met Cloister ligger. Det ar sa vackert dar pa varen/sommaren. Jag har varit dar en gang forut och jag har velat ta med mig Jim dit upp. Vacker utsikt over The Hudson River och trevliga promenader.
Vi kom ut fran tunnelbanan pa fel sida och nagon konstig person med nastan inga tander tog oss runt och berattade manga historier om omradet, vilket faktiskt var roligt. The Cloister ar ratt litet och det tar inte lang stund att ga igenom det, men det ar intressant och Jim verkar gilla det. Jag ville mest komma ifran city och vara i naturen i nagra timmar. Det ar trevligt att man kan det och inte ens lamna Manhattan.

Monday morning! It’s raining outside but since it’s warmer it’s kinda nice. None of us knew that it was daylight saving time this weekend and I woke up very confused yesterday, and today I’m very tired and Thor was even more confused today when the alarm went off.
On Saturday we took the subway out to Williamsburg to go to the Brooklyn Brewery. The line was waaayyy too long so we walked around the corner to go play bowling instead, but there was a few hours of waiting. Popular day to be in Williamsburg I guess. But we spent a few hours in the area anyway eating hot dogs and sitting in bars. On Sunday, my sister and I walked to soho for some shopping and then we met up with Jim and Thor who sat at an outdoor seating, and then we walked home. That is a very long walk for such small pup, I am very proud of T to walk that much.
These days when my sister is here just goes by, I don’t even remember what we are doing. All I remember from last week is that it was extremely nice weather and we were sweating wearing only t-shirts outside 🙂

Caffe Reggio

“Caffe Reggio is proud to be the first caffe
in the United States to serve Cappuccino”

I found out online that there is a cafe in Greenwich Village that has been there since 1927. Domenico Parisi brought the cappuccino to America and they still have the espresso machine, from 1902, at the cafe today (not in use of course, but still pretty cool). The cappuccino wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but good enough and the lunch sandwich that I ordered was great. This is a small place with tables very close to each other, but still a cozy feel to it and it really does feel old with all the art work in the room. I tried to picture how it was to sit at this cafe and sip a cappuccino back in the old days.

A coffee lover like me loves to visit places like this. New York is relatively a new city but there is plenty of interesting history and a lot is kept. New York City is definitely one of the coolest cities to discover.

Jag hittade online att det finns ett cafe i Greenwich Village som har funnits dar sedan 1927. Domenico Parisi presenterade cappuccino for Amerika och de har fortfarande espresso maskinen, fran 1902, kvar pa cafet idag (inte i bruk saklart, men anda ratt coolt). Cappuccinon var inte den basta jag smakat, men tillrakligt god och lunchmackan som jag bestallde var god. Det har ar ett litet stalle med bord ratt nara varandra, men anda ratt mysig kansla och det kanns verkligen gammalt med all konst i rummet. Jag forsokte forestalla mig hur det var att sitta dar pa detta cafe och smutta pa en cappuccino pa den gamla tiden.

En kaffealskare som jag alskar att besoka stallen som detta. New York ar relativt en ny stad men det finns en hel del intressant historia och mycket ar bevarat. New York City ar definitivt en av de coolaste staderna att upptacka.

The Place

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.

Vilka fancy pants platser vi hade, och tillsammans med dessa platser far man en stor buffe med all sorts mat som sushi, mini burgers, salad, bbq, hummer och desserter nere i deras typ vip stalle (legend suite).

On Saturday we were invited to go to baseball at the Yankees Stadium. NY Mets vs NY Yankees. What fancy pants seats we got, and together with these seats you get a big buffet with all kinds of food like sushi, mini burgers, salad, bbq, lobster and desserts down in their kinda vip place (legend suite). They also had lots of candy that quickly disappeared haha. Really nice to sit so close to the players. When we saw that Mets was gonna win by a lot we went down to the lounge, had ice cream and watched basketball on the tv in the bar, hahaha.
I’m so happy for Jim’s sake for all he get to experience through work (and of course I’m happier when I get to go with him) 🙂
