Saffron and Honey

{happy 2015!} + Postcard from Nyack, NY

IMG_1895

Happy New Year, one and all!

There is something to be said for the semblance and motivation of a clean slate and a fresh start.

This is a belated postcard from last week spent up in the Nyacks, watching the icy and foggy mornings dissolve into afternoons full of winter sunshine.

I am a city girl, but I do adore the feel and flavor of quaint small towns.

And Nyack meets all the prerequisites: it has an adorable breakfast place (Strawberry Place), a bookstore full of hidden treasures (Pickwick Books) …

A beautiful and busy library in an old Carnegie building overlooking the Hudson River, a great coffee shop (Gypsy Donuts)..

IMG_1896

A place for morning buns & zucchini muffins and a very popular cyclist stop (The Runcible Spoon), and a little art museum (Edward Hopper House).

And streets to wander and wander.

Here’s to great wanders in 2015.

    What a gorgeous place to visit! I love the city, but I definitely need small town time one or two weekends a year. There are some sweet places on BC’s Sunshine Coast and on Vancouver Island that have the same sort of vibe that Nyack seems to have.

      Same here, Teresa – I need the energy and accessibility of a city most days, but my head also needs the space and warmth of a small town from time to time!

    I should convince my husband to do more little weekend trips to places close to the city. I need to get out of Brooklyn more often! Happy new year to you!

How do you pâté? My favorite from @3pigspate is the Pork & Chicken Liver Pâté with Armagnac​ aka
“Grandma’s Pâté.” This coarse pâté is made with pork, chicken liver, and spices with a bit of armagnac. All natural and minimally processed, made and sliced by hand and DELICIOUS ❤️ // I like it on a sweet cracker or with pain d’epices!
