NYC + May = La Vie en Rose

This year I realized that 

I <3 May!

I heart the fresh, crispy sunny mornings 

the new green on the streets 

the multicolor sunsets

and the excitement of leaving all those layers of 

clothing at home.

Besides, people seem to be in a better mood, 

don't they?

NYC in particular, 

shines during this time of the year.

It only takes a few days for New Yorkers

to shake off the winter flakes

and hit all those outdoor cafes, beer gardens and rooftops 

spread throughout the city.

All of a sudden, 

La Vie becomes Bella again!

(or at least that's how it feels)

How would a mythical May weekend 

in NYC look like?

Friday, 6PM -- happy hour at the closest beer garden. 

Whether you are in Manhattan, Queens or Brooklyn, it will be crowded.  

Guaranteed.  

The good thing is that after a few pitchers, 

you forget who is around you 

and how long you have to wait in the bathroom line. 

Remember, La Vie Est Belle!

Saturday -- wake up excited 'cause it's Saturday,

 have a leisurely walk with your dog, 

grab a coffee and call your fam.

By 1PM -- be showered and ready to hit the the flea markets. 

After taking part of an exhausting 3-4hr treasure hunt, 

grab a quick bite, and recharge to meet friends 

and enjoy the sunset

while chugging a few cold beers.  

What comes after the sun is gone

is only up to you...

Sunday -- wake up a bit concerned 'cause it's Sunday already,

do house chores

and have brunch....

what would NYC be without a brunch?

In most cases, brunch leads to dinner

but if not, hop on your bike and 

spend those final hours of the weekend

in solitude, regrouping yourself 

and getting ready 

for the next five days

before the weekend is back again.
