NYC Thing: Eating On Your Lap

I had some strenuous errands that would require some healthy sustenance… and my car.  So I first hit up Matthew Kenney’s latest East Village spot, Plantmade, dining on my lap–New York City style.

Plantmade is pretty new so perhaps its obstructed menu on the wall and lack of lighting will be fixed.  The Pure Green side, which offers fresh juice and smoothie concoctions as well as acai bowls, was getting most of the action on the morning I arrived. 

Though the case contained some baked goodies, it was also littered with the boxes they had been delivered in.  So no, they are not made on the premises.

I got the beet bagel with scallion cashew cream cheese and avocado. I had planned to get the charcoal bagel but it is no longer on the menu.  It was a tasty breakfast and a

striking beauty.

After, much later, ice cream from Van Leeuwen in Brooklyn and on my lap again.  

A mini sundae with one scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough, whipped coconut cream, chocolate sauce and almonds. 

After all: you know you have had a productive day when your hair looks like this in the end. Job well done.
