Hello from NYC! How was your day?
Mine was the BEST!
But, I’m fading fast so here is my Run and Eats from today. I’ll fill you in tomorrow
Run: Central Park. 6 miles.
This place is starting to feel familiar in the best, warm snuggly way.
Dunkin Donuts iced coffee because I know you’d be disappointed if I didn’t…
A little continental breakfast from the hotel
and some from the Sabra conference…
Lunch from Beyond Sushi. It’s all vegan and delicious!
Afternoon fun:
After:
Museum! We had a private tour of the food exhibit – so interesting. I’ll tell ya soon.
Dinner at Max Brenner’s
Cocoa and Chili dusted waffle fries to start.
FONDUE.
That would be tempura bananas and a warm waffle with ice cream on the plate…
We over ordered for the table and had A LOT! It was heaven. The chocolate chip cookies had melty chocolate chips and were over and inch thick. Life.Changing.
Question: When was the last time you had fondue?
(If it’s been longer than a week you should go ASAP. Life is short. You don’t want to regret that on your death bed…)
Karen says
Awesome watermelon bowl!
Lorin says
when I went to max brenner’s a few years ago we got the chocolate pizza. I saw it on Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network. It was soo good!!! I will definitely go back to Max Brenner’s next time I’m in NYC.
runeatrepeat says
I should have got that! Sounds amazing 🙂
Jelena@FabLifePhD says
We recently did a chocolate fondue that can be made on the grill. It was amazing!
Charline says
had a good chuckle at this typo…
“40 million children are overweight
870 people were hungry in 2013”
Jessica R @ fromthekitchentotheroad says
I have only had fondue at a restaurant once ever and it was delicious. You make a good point, I should probably go back. It has been almost 2 years since that experience.
Liz @ The Girl on Fire Now says
I haven’t had fondue in over a year and a half
Maribeth @ LOVEmyHANDLES says
Running in NYC is the best. Central Park, the east river and the west side highway are always beautiful.
Cheese fondue is my favorite. Mmm why is cheese so good? I think it beats chocolate by a landslide.
Jenna Rodgers says
6 miles is quite an accomplishment. Well done! The sight of all that food is causing some serious cravings on my end. . .
Maria Zimmerman says
WHOA I own the same shoes
Corrine @ Eat Run Wine says
I’m so jealous about your run around Central Park! It’s gorgeous!
And fondue- I haven’t had it in about a year (**GASP**). I miss it! Although we DID get a fondue set for the wedding… so maybe I need to break that out this weekend! 🙂
Jojo says
You would paint that bowl like a watermelon 😉 You can eat watermelon out of a watermelon!
The last time I had fondue was… about 2 years ago. I went to the Melting Pot for the first time to celebrate something, and we just went for dessert. The salted caramel was so good!
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
That bowl is so cute! Perfect for you and your watermelon! I love NY! When my family and I were visiting there last spring we went on a bike ride around the park a few time and had so ich fun, it’s such a beautiful pace!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
We had a dinner after my grandma’s funeral a couple weeks ago. It included a chocolate fountain! My favorite was covering the coconut macaroons in chocolate. So good!
Looks like a beautiful run in Central Park!
Taraleigh says
I actually have never had fondue. 🙁 What a fabulous trip! Running central park looks awesome.
Sarah G. says
You know, I have heard so many people talk about running in Central Park but never saw pictures of it! I haven’t been there myself so it was really cool to see what it’s like! I also didn’t know they had the same LOVE sculpture in NYC that they have here in Philly! I am sad to admit that I have NEVER had fondue… I need to change that ASAP.
Have a great weekend!!
Susan says
So long ago that I don’t even remember how long it’s been. 🙁
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
I love your watermelon bowl!
I haven’t been to a fondue restaurant in at least a year! We went for our anniversary a couple of years ago!
Looks like you’re having a great time 🙂
Ashley says
I can’t even remember the last time I had fondue- I really need to remedy that!
Jackie says
Love that pink dress!
Julie @ RDelicious Kitchen says
loveeee fondue! I had a chocolate peanut butter one .. I didn’t even want to dip anything in it .. i just wanted a spoon!
Karen @ Runner Girl Eats says
I have a fondue pot and we used to do monthly fondue girls nights but sadly got out of the habit. I may need to pick up this tradition! I love everything about this post and NY. Have fun!
Megan says
I’ve actually never had fondue! Crazy I know!
sally (sweatoutthesmallstuff) says
I spend so much time training in central park and running NYRR events that I take it for granted. I’ve run through downpours, snow storms, and hot humid days. The park is ALWAYS breathtaking. My capri chub rub wardrobe malfunction happened pretty much right where you’re standing in that 3rd shot. LOL.
Enjoy the rest of your trip. The watermelon bowl….priceless=)
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
LOVE Max Brenner’s and super jealous of your frequent trips to one of my favorite cities! 😉
Emily @ Running for Boston says
It has been longer than a week since I last had fondue…obviously that’s a major issue.
Dunkin Donuts coffee = best coffee ever!
LosingLindy says
I love the watermelon bowl.
meredith says
I love Max Brenner! I think those chocolate chunk cookies are probably at the top of my cookie list. (Not sure if they beat Disney World)…Love the fondue there as well, which might be the last place I had fondue. Did you have the chocolate syringe? So yum.
Annie @ my fuel and fitness diaries says
My problem with fondu is I end up ditching the stuff Im supposed to be dipping the food in and just basically drinking the chocolate sauce…whoops…
Looks like an awesome day to run in NY…JEALOUS!
Kaitie says
I usually just take a spoon to it and call it soup. Soup is healthy, right? 🙂
Kaitie says
Last fondue night I had was a little less fancy than this one – sitting on a crappy college apartment floor, watching Les Mis and drinking wine out of tervis tumblers. Classy, yes?
I want to hear about that food exhibit! Sounds like an amazing trip!
Claire @Yumruns says
I have never had fondue – it looks amazing! Clearly adding that place to the list of food havens to visit when I go to NYC on holiday next year!
Aleks says
I had fondue 2 weeks ago, but it was nothing like yours ;). My bf is Swiss so we had traditional ‘fondue chinoise’, which is basically like a hot pot where you cook your own meat in broth. Nice, but still prefer cheese fondue (must be with Gruyère!). There is a trail in the Swiss Alps we went which has a cheese fondue place at the end, but unfortunately it was not yet open for the summer.
Loving the NYC pics!
Daniel says
We’ve got a fondue set at home that we never use. Seems like we’ll have dessert tonight.
Thanks for the great idea!
Mary says
That watermelon bowl is amazing! I love it!
We went to NY for NY and it was my first time seeing Central Park. It looks so completely different in your photos at the opposite end of the year. Absolutely beautiful in a different way.
Casey says
1. That watermelon bowl is PERFECT
2. Now I really want some fondue
3. You are so awesome!
michelle kim says
Last time I had fondue was probably 5 years ago. These days, I’ll just buy things that already come chocolate-covered. Looks like you’re having a great time in NY!
Sue says
Same here! It’s been too long! Gotta find a dessert choc fountain this weekend and get my fix after seeing all these pics!
