Eat All The Burgers

This was the first location we shot in yesterday: The Burger Joint, which you get to in a very neat way, by wandering through the fancy-pants lobby of Le Parker Meridian Hotel and then ducking behind a thick burgundy curtain (the only indicator of what's to come is a small neon hamburger on the wall).

Inside, a super-cool (and tiny; go early or face completely crazy lines) space with wood paneling, vinyl booths, and one of the best burgers in the city (get it fully loaded with cheese).

Anywhere with lampshades like that has my official Seal Of Approval.

Cozy Winter Brunch Spots In NYC

It's snowing!

And that means cozy sweaters, Hunter boots, and brunch anywhere you can find a fireplace.

I gave Andrea at BrunchCritic a ring to find out her top picks for Cozy Winter Brunch Spots in NYC, and these were her top five:

Tiny's (Tribeca): In Tribeca, the land of enormous, loft-like spaces, Tiny's is an adorable miniature spot with a fireplace to be reckoned with. A perfect place for a romantic date during the chilly months.

Real Simple Pop-Up Shop in Bryant Park

NYC is a fairly spectacular place to live all year round...but there's nothing like it at Christmastime. Yesterday morning, I swung by Bryant Park (the ice skating rink also has a pretty fun bar adjacent to it - we went last year around this time with some friends) for the Grand Opening of Real Simple's Pop-Up Shop - a must if you're in NYC.

The Pop-Up Shop is full of the kinds of gift ideas that are the reason you (or at least I) love Real Simple: inventive and practical. Like Mario Batali's new cookbook, tons and tons of foodie items...and Christmas tree decoration organizers (want).
