I’m late to the party on this one, but after a 7-episode marathon of season one over the weekend, I’ll admit: I’m hooked on Downton Abbey. I know that I’m a full season behind (forgive me!), but I promise, I’ll catch up quick. I actually feel lucky that I still have seven full episodes to go. 🙂

Are you watching Downton Abbey, too? If so, who is your favorite character and what do you think of the show?

Tuesday, already? What a lovely three day weekend it was! I thought I’d post a few snaps from my New York stay-cation.

1. I finally checked out Untitled, the new Danny Meyer restaurant that recently opened at the Whitney Museum. Have you been? A new a la carte dinner menu is now being offered for dinner, but we opted for brunch. The cheesy eggs with home fries were incredible — taste even better than they look!

2. A weekend is never complete without a vanilla cupcake (with blue frosting!) from One Girl Cookies in Cobble Hill. And good news! They just released their very first cookbook, so this weekend, you better believe I’m going to attempt to bake these sugary treats on my own.

3. The latest InStyle, J. Crew catalog, and Redbook — all reading material to enjoy while I sat poolside at the spa on the 21st floor of the Peninsula Hotel. Last week was a busy one at work. Time at the spa this weekend was a must!

How did you spend the long weekend?
