A very cold and very wintery day in NYC yesterday. Started off with a walk into Greenwich Village where we “brunched” (we are like, so totally New York) at Caffe Reggio, which brought cappuccino to NYC way back in 1927. It is still home to the original cappuccino machine and sits directly opposite Louisa M Alcott’s old house. We went for the yummy Negrito which was 2 poached eggs on toast with 3 European melted cheeses dribbling beautifully over the top. It should have come with a parental warning.
We spent the day separately Crimbo shopping around the city and then met up in the evening to go see It’s a Wonderful Life in its full big screen glory at the IFC Center. The film was introduced by Donna Read’s daughter. It was magical to sit and watch in NYC with a big cup of hot chocolate, and got us totally into the Christmassy spirit.
Our final dinner was at Miyabi sushi restaurant. Extra edamame and lots of lovely sake. Yum.
By the way, cappuccino is a very difficult word to spell.
You are very lucky people. The Christmas atmosphere here is zero. xx
