SEAFOOD, DRINKS AND STUNNING VIEWS - Summer is not

SEAFOOD, DRINKS AND STUNNING VIEWS - Summer is not over yet!

North River Lobster Company has been on my bucket list for a long time and I finally had the opportunity to check this experience.

This boat features three decks (including indoor areas) and sails the Hudson River - there are 1 or 2-hour cruises and you can sit back, enjoy the views and relax while having drinks and seafood dishes - I loved the fish & chips!

✅You need a boarding pass - that costs $5 for the 1 hour cruises.
🗽The 7pm cruise is the best option - it lasts 2 hours and it goes to the Statue of Liberty (these passes are $25)
🦞Menu features appetizers starting at $11 and lobster rolls starting at $32
🎟️ Make sure to purchase your tickets in advance.
⏰ TIP: arrive 30 minutes before departure time to secure a great spot!

FACTS: Shopping secondhand online can be time-cons

FACTS: Shopping secondhand online can be time-consuming and overwhelming if you don’t enjoy the process. Luckily, there are tools to help us!

CHECK THE LINKS IN MY BIO!

👗I’m obsessed with Beni! You can set your sizes, so it will only show you options suitable for you! Other features include the possibility to set an alert so you don’t miss out a new deal. Most of the times, it can save you a A LOT of time! I was able to find so many great secondhand items thanks to Beni!

‼️The search I mentioned when talking about the app is also available on their website, so you can access on your desktop.

🧥And the AI tools available on thredup are really useful! I absolutely love the image search but the Stylechat is so clever!

💰PLUS: Get 40% off plus free shipping on your first order using my link in bio!

If you are not familiar with thredup, it’s an online consignment & thrift store that sells women’s and kids’ secondhand apparel – since they are in possession of all items and, because of that, every item they receive undergoes rigorous quality inspection before being listed. The items are sorted into the following conditions: excellent / very good / good. The prices are insane.

I really hope that these tools can help people to explore the possibilities of the secondhand world!

I guess all the books we read can impact us in some way, but, this year, these were the books that had the most impact in my life.

Some brought me essential and important knowledge and some made me ask myself important and deep questions.

They are linked in my highlights and on my Amazon storefront (link in bio).

And what about your life-changing books? Tell me in the comments!

NYC DIARIES - Everything I did in August and it’

NYC DIARIES - Everything I did in August and it’s worth sharing!

🎬 Worked with @movingimagenyc and I had so much fun shooting the video! You can check the final result on my feed. Make sure to check this incredible museum in Astoria!

👩‍🍳Croissant and brioche class at the @iceculinary - amazing 2-day workshop. I learned so much! There is also a video on my feed.

🚴‍♂️ I’ve always loved biking around, just for fun, but never as an exercise. I’ve always seen those guys with nice bikes around Central Park, and I’ve always thought, “How cool is that!”. So I rented one to try and OMG I’m so ready!

🍰 Marjolane Cake from The Frenchman’s Dough at @tinbuilding - chocolate and hazelnuts, do I need to say more?

📚 @ptknitwear - This bookstore is family-owned and independent and hosts many events with authors - plus, there’s also a cafe and a podcast studio available for people to use for free. So cool!

🥐 The viral croissant from @lafayette380 - let’s just say that it’s so worth the hype!

🌊 We spent a day in Greenport - Long Island. You can check the video on my feed and the itinerary on my blog. Cool day trip idea!

🍛Colorful bowl at @indayallday - this fast casual restaurant offers delicious Indian dishes

🍸 Dinner at @thegoodgoodnyc - a restaurant in our neighborhood that is such a gem! The fish sandwich and the cheesecake are definitely a must-try!

🍎 Hope you liked this format! Make sure to subscribe to The Tiny Apple to receive these recs every month in your inbox 😍 Link in bio!

Summer is coming to an end soon (hopefully not that soon), and here are some of the outfits I’ve worn (missing a couple for sure, lol).

I guess our style is always evolving, and that’s a reflection of our lives. This year was really important for me when it comes to fashion. I had the opportunity to learn more about my style and making better choices after a styling session with @amandakirsche - and I can definitely see a “before and after” once we worked together.

Also, although fashion has been part of my life in many different ways for so many years, it wasn’t until recently that I realized I don’t need to be ashamed or embarrassed for caring about clothes and styling.

Are we judging men for loving cars or sports? I don’t think so. I decided to own the fact that I love using fashion as a creative tool and a way to express myself, making me feel good in my skin. I would love to say the opposite, but our clothes communicate about ourselves.

Plan a trip to Astoria, Queens, to visit this incredible gem in NYC and have a behind-the-scenes adventure!

🎬The @movingimagenyc is such a cool museum - did you know that it’s actually housed in a former historic film studio? You can’t get more immersed than that!

🎥From the collection of artifacts related to film and television production to the interactive experiences, I’m sure adults and kids will have such a great time exploring everything the place has to offer! One of my favorite experiences was the dubbing studio, soooo cool!

✅Make sure to check their website for special events, screenings and exhibitions.

🇧🇷🇬🇷Also: once you are in Astoria take advantage of the Brazilian and Greek restaurants in the area!

COOKING CLASSES AT THE INSTITUTE OF CULINARY EDUCA

COOKING CLASSES AT THE INSTITUTE OF CULINARY EDUCATION 👩‍🍳

You don’t need to be full-time student at @iceculinary to take advantage of their facilities and their knowledge! This was my second time attending a recreational class there (my first time was a Spanish tapas class back in January) and I not only had a lot of fun but also learned A LOT!

🍽️The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City is home to one of the largest programs of hands-on recreational cooking classes, baking classes and wine classes in the world.

🍝They have Cooking classes, Baking classes, Wine & Beverages classes -from Tuscan cooking to classic French desserts, there’s an option for all the tastes!

⏰Not all the workshops last two-days, it depends on the theme - when I took the Spanish tapas one it was only one night.

🤯What fascinates me about these classes are the techniques and the explanations. Everything that happens in the kitchen has a reason and it’s so much more interesting when you learn that!

💰Check their calendar of classes on recreational.ice.edu/Home/CookingClasses - classes start at $125

📍ICE is located at the Brookfield Place building, in Downtown Manhattan

NANNYING FOR THE 1% in NYC Trying a new format he

NANNYING FOR THE 1% in NYC

Trying a new format here - I’ve been sharing my readings in stories and on Substack for a while, so I thought why not sharing a review on the feed as well?

I read Stephanie’s book in less than a week and I loved her vulnerability and all her stories from the time she worked for wealthy families in Manhattan. She is very open and it’s really interesting to see her perspective, the comparisons with her own life, her vulnerability and her awareness. I think that living in NYC also helps me to appreciate the story even more.

Also recommend reading “Primates of Park Avenue” - not a new book, but it also brings more “behind the scenes” of the lives of the wealthy in the UES. Shocking, to say the least…

Linked these books on my Amazon storefront page, link in bio.
