Anabela + Geoff are getting married

Anabela and Geoff need very little introduction as I am sure most of you know they are the creative force behind Fieldguided and their shop full of pretty things. I have always admired how well these two work together creatively but more so, how evident these two truly care for one another. I am so honoured to be part of their wedding.

We wandered around Toronto and shot some engagement photos a few weeks ago and I am so excited to show you a few of my favourites!

Last Day (in NYC)

Funny enough, we spent the last day of our trip away from Manhattan. Jin lightly mentioned that he wanted to go to Coney Island and as the trip went on, that "mention" came back again and again. He finally wore me down and we drove there on our last day. We couldn't have picked a better day to go. I was originally worried about the heat but when we arrived, it was breezy and the temperature was perfect.

We had lunch at Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitana and their pizza was simple and perfect. We spent a few hours at the fair and on the boardwalk where some people were dancing to music on one end and others were fishing on the dock. We had so much fun walking around that we forgot to ride the Wonder Wheel!

This turned out to be one of my favourite days on our trip. I learned my lesson, I will always listen to Jinny's suggestions from now on.

We ended the day in Brooklyn where we had a delicious meal at Five Leaves (we had their Rosewater Pavlova for dessert. Delicious!).

And the next day, we were off. Bye bye for now New York.

Decisions, decisions

Every day in New York, we tried to eat somewhere delicious and there is no shortage of great places to eat in this city, the tough part was choosing which one to go to that day. This was at The Meatball Shop which really hit the spot after walking all day and I loved the restaurant decor.

Here are some other places we really enjoyed on our trip, most of them were recommended to us by Gabe and May, our go-to food advisers!

The Standard Grill
Miss Lily's
Five Leaves
SMORGASBURG!
the lobster roll at The Plaza's Food Hall

Infrastructure Jealousy

The last time we visited New York, The High Line was just in its proposal phase and we saw a lot of pretty renderings of it.

It was really great to see it in person this visit and Jin loved it so much, we went back twice (also mommy and baby were melting from the heat the first time we went so we didn't make it to the end). I hope the next time we go to New York, the High Line will be even bigger! This was Jin's favourite part of the trip, he wishes something like this could happen in Toronto (maybe one day).
