LUCY SPARROW’S DELICATESSEN ON 6TH

I was extremely thrilled to be able to pop in the city last Friday to check out the latest installation from British artist Lucy Sparrow. She is a fantastic artist who makes wonderful everyday items out of felt. Each piece is hand signed by the artist. Her last installation in NYC was in Chelsea and items sold out before the end of the run. She makes a certain number of pieces to bring for the exhibit/shop and when they are sold out, they are gone. The NY Deli is a great idea and I was thrilled at each item. At a time in the world when there is so much negative news, it is nice to step into a place like this and have a smile the whole time you are there. The lowest items seemed to be in the Patisserie shop but I managed to snag a few pieces. I hope you enjoy the photos and if you are in the city prior to October 20th, I would highly suggest you stop in. It is right near Magnolia Bakery on 6th and W. 49th Street.  

As much as I love macarons, I couldn't purchase 1 for $20 and decided on bigger items instead. Are they not the most adorable?  

One of these little guys came home with me - not many of them left  

The carrot cake was adorable too and kept calling me to take home  

The corn was just too good!  

I also felt the need to take a banana home as well  

It was really hard to not purchase an oyster but I refrained  

The onions were another fave with a little tear! So darn cute!!

Easter in New York City

I spent my first Easter in the city in 2017 and it was lots of fun. This 

gorgeous cross was in front of the one church located right on 5th Avenue. 

I attempted the Easter Parade. Key word, attempted. It turned out to be a very hot and 

humid day on Easter Sunday, not my type of weather. It was cool that 5th Avenue was closed to traffic but I couldn't stay very long. Thank goodness 2018 is expected to be much cooler with Easter Sunday being April 1st. 

If you didn't have a hat to wear, fear not, someone was selling bunny ears 

Gotta love those tails! 

This lady was thinking pretty fast as April the giraffe had her baby this 

weekend in 2017, and her hat shows April and her baby boy! Very clever! Where did April the Giraffe go anyway? I need to check on her pronto! 

     The Easter Parade is a fun, unique way to spend Easter Sunday provided it is not extremely humid! I will for sure attempt it one more time when weather isn't so heated.  

This lovely display was in the Robert restaurant at Columbus Circle 

The Plaza looked gorgeous for the holiday 

Easter is my type of holiday, where chocolate is a mega-star!  

After a l o n g winter in the Northeast, so happy to see flowers and color !! 

The Peninsula Hotel looked very much like Spring was in the air  

I believe Rockefeller Center always has this lovely display for the 

Easter holiday, but this is my first time seeing it in person. 

It is too adorable for words! 

Teuscher Chocolate always has the most adorable bunnies in their windows
