A Sunday in the Upper West Side

I love Sundays in New York City as they are usually much calmer than Saturdays. The Upper West Side is such a great area to explore, and you see more local folks than tourists. There are great museums, shops and restaurants as well as my favorite, Breads Bakery! On this particular Sunday, let's see what I was up to: 

I stopped in the New York Historical Society and had brunch in their very yummy restaurant, Storico. The decor is just lovely as well as the food! 

An omelette with potato hash was my choice. 
The potato hash was like one I never had before but was so darn good. Filled with vegetables along with the potato, this serving was enough for 2. 
I checked out some of the cool exhibits within the museum 







I always pop in the Tiffany exhibit because who doesn't like to be surrounded by these gorgeous works of art! 




I made another stop at the Grand Bazaar which is one of the BEST flea markets, runs only on Sundays. 
I was thrilled to see Jessie's cups at the market as I have been seeing them on Instagram and have wanted to try for a while. 
They make Reese's look like amateurs! For the peanut butter lovers, a great gift or treat for yourself. 
They have lots of food at the Grand Bazaar as well as food trucks. It really is one of the best flea markets in the city. 


Wonderful original hats can be found here as well 


I really wanted these glasses but wasn't sure if they would make it home without breaking. They were just too darn adorable!

Gallery of Tiffany Lamps at NY Historical Society Part 2


Part 2 of the Gallery of Tiffany Lamps at the NY Historical Society is just as impressive as Part 1. 



Seeing all these together in a gorgeous setting is really just so beautiful. The colors and designs are so lovely. 






It is really hard to decide on a favorite here. 


This view from above was just brilliant. They really did a top notch design for this display. 







I loved seeing the photograph of the studio where they made these works of art. Very cool. 







It was very neat to see the shade above wooden mold. 




Loved the crown shade! 



I own a few replica Tiffany Lamps and I just love them. They bring so much joy to a home's decor. If you get a chance to see this exhibit, please do so. You will not be disappointed in the least. You probably will want to go back a second time!!
