Flossie's Guide to Eating and Drinking in New York

I'm back from New York and was almost in tears on the flight because I was so sad to leave...and then I was in tears from watching really emotional movies. I will miss the funny buskers on the 6 train with their dance routine to 'signed sealed delivered', the 24 hr availability for anything you want. The constant attention of "Oh my god...SUCH a cute British accent". Randomly walking past movie stars. Not getting lost. Going out for dinner on a schoolnight and ending up out in bars you couldn't find again if you tried. Brunches in Brooklyn. Being an uptown girl and all the amazing restaurants and food oh and of course..the shopping! So since I did little work and lots of play I thought I would share with you the best places to eat and drink in my opinion.

La Maison du Chocolat

Last week I went to a tasting event at La Maison du Chocolat at the Plaza Hotel, I jumped at the chance to go and have a snoop in the Home Alone hotel and also home to Eloise at the Plaza. It's a little different than in the film but still very snazzy and glamourous. The Macaroons are meant to be the best in New York rivaling Ladurée and they were seriously good. The chef at the event was loading up cups of their famous chocolate ganache which was smooth and delicious, and little salted caramel chocolates that were melt in your mouth yummy.
