@lebasquenyc is a new vegan restaurant in New York

@lebasquenyc is a new vegan restaurant in New York City with a menu featuring French and Spanish cuisine. Although Thiago and I are not vegan, we love to explore all the types of cuisine and we are especially fascinated by the creativity from the plant-based cuisines.

This restaurant is part of the City Roots Hospitality, founded by Chef Guy Vaknin - we had the opportunity to visit his other restaurants, like Beyond Sushi and Anixi and it never disappoints!

Our experience at Le Basque was incredible. The environment is super chic and cozy and we were surprised with all the dishes, but the Mushroom paella and the Entremet aux Noisettes were definitely the highlights!

(I know the audio quality is not the best one, sorry for that!)

Address: 15 Union Square W.

WINTER OUTFITS - Some tips and advice - coming fro

WINTER OUTFITS - Some tips and advice - coming from someone who insisted on wearing wool coats on freezing days when move here and quickly discovered it was not sustainable! lol

‼️SHOP THESE ITEMS THROUGH THE LINK ON MY STORIES, LINK IN BIO OR CHECK MY “FASHION” HIGHLIGHTS.

🧥WINTER COATS - I have two great winter coats - one is from @sam.newyork, and the other one is from @mooseknucklescanada, and I saw a huge difference when upgrading to these more premium brands. You can always save by looking for a secondhand option. @mackage @canadagoose @thenorthface and @patagonia are also great brands!

🧣THERMAL LAYERS - I’m a fan of @uniqlousa thermal layers - and these items are key - especially the tops. I’ve been thinking about getting a thermal pant as well!

🧦FLEECE LINED TIGHTS - I know I talk about these a lot, but it’s because I LOVE THEM! Such a game-changer when wearing dresses or skirts.

👚SWEATERS - you are not gonna be that warm by wearing polyester sweaters. Paying attention to the label composition is something I do for all my clothing.

🩹CROP TOP BAND - such a simple accessory that helps me to style bulky or long sweaters!

RUNNING IN THE COLD - training for the @united NYC

RUNNING IN THE COLD - training for the @united NYC Half 🏃‍♀️💪🏼

As someone who started running about one and a half years ago, I was always amazed and shocked by people who run outside in the cold weather.

But since I’m gonna run my first half-marathon – the United Airlines NYC Half in 2025 – I had no choice but to accept the fact that I would have to join that group, lol.

I got some tips from a friend who already ran 3 half-marathons - thanks @alegailey - and these are all the items I’ve been using to run outside.

‼️ Please check my stories for all the links - or check the link in bio (outfits) or my highlights “Half Marathon”

🏃‍♀️ Use my code LAURAP to try @runna for 2 weeks for free!
