Bistro Verde 2023

I cannot believe 4th of July is over! The time sure seems to be flying by! I wanted to give a shout out to a restaurant that I enjoyed prior to COVID and is still fabulous after COVID. Bistro Verde is located in the fabulous Nordstrom store at West 57th Street near Columbus Circle. I was thrilled to be back after a long break, and the food did not disappoint. It's a top notch choice if you are in this area for lunch or dinner. 

When I visited for Memorial Day weekend, I had a seat with a view of their new patio. I am not a fan of eating outside when very humid so opted to stay in the air conditioning. I had the Wild Salmon Oscar which was salmon with lump crabmeat on top. Their menu was very nice for dinner and their prices are affordable for NYC. It was so delish! 

I like the decor, it's very simple and folks are not on top of each other like in some NYC restaurants. It's a great spot for a break, either from shopping or just walking around the city. 

My trip in the middle of May, when I visited the Met, was good but service wasn't as great. They were not busy and yet it seemed to take forever for my order. The food was amazing as usual, this was Wild Salmon Nicoise, yes, I am a huge seafood lover! It was really so fantastic, I would get it again. The portions are very generous as well. 

The lobster bisque is something I have been getting each time I visit as it's just so tasty. 

I would highly recommend a meal here if you are in the area. Their pasta dishes are great as well and prices very reasonable. I can understand sometimes service is not 100% as they may have been short staffed that day. The service on Memorial Day weekend was spot on. 

You can place reservations on Open Table but if you are there on an off time, it's usually easy to obtain a table. Dining outside is lovely if you do not mind the heat in the summer months.

Nordstrom 57th Street New York City

The Men's store has a Milk Bar for quick purchases of Christina Tosi's unique and delish desserts. The cake balls are one of my most favorites! 

First, I must state "This is not a sponsored post". 

I am a HUGE Nordstrom fan, shopping online with them for many years and their store in King of Prussia, Pa. I have been longing for their store to open in NYC and last year, they finally did open. I was able to check out the gorgeous store, located at West 57th Street and Broadway, Columbus Circle area right before Thanksgiving. It did not disappoint. 

Nordstrom is famous for their customer service and I just love the selection they offer as well. When shopping online, free shipping and returns make me very happy. 

Founded in 1901 by Swedish American John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin, the company began as a shoe retailer and expanded its inventory to include clothing, accessories, handbags, jewelry, cosmetics, and fragrances. Many companies look to their views on customer service to mold their own employees. 

They had a great selection of Snoopy merchandise which I found fantastic! It made me smile! 

The main store has 5 restaurants, a Shoe Bar - a Coffee Bar - Oh Mochi! donuts - Clubhouse Bar 

A very cool selection, and on this day I visited their flagship restaurant, Bistro Verde. I started with some lobster bisque which was so fantastic! It came out quickly and the warm bread with olive oil and olives made me very happy!

My main course was fantastic too and I ended up bringing half home to enjoy the next day. I am excited to try their other restaurants, but from this experience cannot imagine they will be bad. A wonderful spot when in this area for a bit of shopping and dining in Columbus Circle!! 

Everyone needs a pretzel with eyes!

Vera Paints a Scarf at the MAD Museum

I enjoyed this Vera Paints a Scarf exhibit at the MAD Museum after viewing the Anna Sui exhibit. This was a lovely surprise, I never heard of Vera before, but just enjoyed the colorful prints she was famous for in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. I have a feeling my Mom may have known who she was, and I highly recommend you visit this if stopping by the museum. The exhibit is on display until January 26, 2020. 

I love the idea of framing scarfs!
