3 Ways to Reconnect in NYC

People grow and change and move all the time. And once in awhile you get the chance to all meetup and make it a special day. It may suck to be seperated from good friends, but with time brings experience, a little more money, and a whole new world filled with more family and new life.

With all that wisdom (and cash) spend your Girl’s Day Out at one of these three locations that encourage new experiences, casual fun, and so much conversation.

202 Nicole Farhi at Chelsea Market

Instead of meeting up for a waffles and french toast brunch, take a seat at this adorable little Chelsea Market eatery. It’s got an innovative yet homey menu, fantastic people watching, and- oh yeah- shopping just a few feet away from your plate! Meet the eat-and-shop: a new wave of brunch spots that inspire fashionista shopping waves by munching on tasty meals. After you order your food, get up, have a walk around, and shop the latest Nicole Farhi collection from gorgeous set-ups of racks and tables. The catalogue + kitchen table routine gets a 2010 makeover here.

Sala One Nine for Tapas and Sangria

Grabbing a drink with your girlfriends is no innovative way to spend your day, however, the soothing atmosphere and delicate menu at Sala One Nine makes it a favorite for Union Square hipsters, fashionista’s who work in the area, and ladies who could use a break. Come early to Sala and grab a table in the back for a break from the bar noise. Order 3 or 4 dishes off their tapas menu just to keep your appetite interested, and request the tastiest glasses off the wine list. The helpful and smart staff will be happy to give you a taste or two to help you decide, and point you in the direction of your favorite. For an evening drinks get-together, this is a classy alternative to the typical New York bar scene.

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory

Whether you’ve already grabbed a meal or you’re not hungry, there’s always room for a treat. Grab the girls and head downtown to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory for this cult favorite homemade dessert. Choose from flavors like Almond Cookie, Red Bean, and Wild Blueberry, or buy a few and taste each others. For the family members you left at home, grab some cupcake-like Lucky Cakes for a taste of this iconic factory right in your own home.
