NY day 2 started the similarly to the way day 1 started-coffee and a bagel. This time with a bit of a further walk…I think the place was called Lola’s.
After showering up we headed back to the city for some more exploring! We had some plans on what we wanted to do for the day and our first stop was this NYC institution.
We bought a chocolate chip and a chocolate peanut butter chip and my oh my were these cookies incredible!
After securing our dessert we stopped by a pizza place called Made in New York Pizza.
Quite possibly my favorite slices of the trip!
We walked around exploring the area and found our way to Central Park. If the first day was cold and rainy, the second was sunny and pretty warm. We took off our jackets and found an ice-cream truck!
We walked some more and headed to a subway station to head to another NYC institution-Katz Deli.
Okay, don’t kill me for saying this, but I have to be honest. As a foodie, I am so glad we went! It’s a place I would have always wondered about if we hadn’t gone. As a foodie, I felt a bit let down because the food was just okay? Maybe I missed something!
If you’ve been to Katz let me know what you thought?
For our dessert stop we found a Black Tap that was super close and couldn’t resist. This is something that’s been on our list for YEARS and let’s just say it did not disappoint!
We shared this monstrosity and felt like we were 10 years old again! Super giddy on sugar we walked around explored some more. We explored Chinatown and found a million little stores selling the same little touristy trinkets!
It was time for another food stop, another slice of pizza! Prince Street Pizza had a line that went quickly and a slice that was worth the wait. We devoured this slice and walked some more contemplating our evening plans.
We found ourselves in Washington Square Park and sat down as it started sprinkling down some rain.
We were torn between a few things and finally decided on some live music. We were not disappointed by any means! This band played R&B and hiphop and man were they good! We had so much fun singing and swaying to the music…
Right next door there was an Artichoke Pizza-we honestly could have shared one slice because these slices were HUGE. I don’t think the picture does it any justice!
We headed back home and slept hard!
What’s your favorite slice in NY?

SOoooooo much good food!!! That dessert from Black Tap- holy smokes that looks good. I have been to really hyped up foodie spots & been let down too. I think what happens is sometimes it gets so hyped that they get busy and then quality falls to the wayside. Maybe something like that happened with Katz. Thanks for sharing, Jess!

Those cookies from Levain’s look top-notch! I wish I could sink my teeth into one lol. I’ve heard of Katz & how popular they are so I’m disappointed to hear their food was just okay!
Our Black Tap opened here last year (in the Venetian) but we only went for drinks one time. We were blown away seeing all those monstrous milkshakes & always said we’d go back for one but just haven’t yet! Oh my gosh, we totally need to. 🤤
The Chinatown needs a little work, doesn’t it? I did love how cheap the souvenirs were over there though!
The last pizza looks the beeeest, yum!

I will definitely check out Black Tap in the near future. Not sure if there’s a Levain around here. 😛
