A Friendly Farmer & Sunday Funday

I'm beginning to really love these Sunday Funday posts! The freezing temperatures continue here in the Big Apple...this Sunday was particularly unbearable. The winds whipping around the buildings and down the narrow streets sent chills to my core. It was deceivingly beautiful though, the sun was doing its best to shine bright and warm us. 

I started the day with brunch at Friend of a Farmer just south of Gramercy Park. It's a popular brunch spot that does not take reservations, so you can usually see a long line formed outside, especially around noon. My favorite part of Friend of a Farmer is the interior decor. The owners did a great job of replicating a country farm house feel with vibrant floral wallpaper, overflowing cases of fruits and vegetables, dried flowers, fireplaces, woven baskets, & mason jars. Cozily nestled into seats at a rustic wood table, I had a sweet catch up with a couple friends. 

Coffee Coffee Coffee!!

The food is home-style, down on the farm, cooking. It is hearty yet health and fresh with a large selection of egg dishes. I chose the Farmers Market Omelet filled with fresh spinach, mushrooms, and cheddar. Most brunch dishes come with a side of home fries.

Nat opted for the Down Home Hearty Corn Beef Hash.

Fresh French Pressed Coffee is an easy way to glam up a simple brew. The flavor is always bolder, smother and richer. 

What's a Sunday Funday post without a little bit of fashion inspiration! It was all about the layers on this wintery day!

We picked up a few coffees at Irving Farm and headed over to church!

I actually learned a few new phrases in French this weekend (#1 on my 14 for 2014 list)! Abena taught me how to say & sing Happy Birthday - Joyeux Anniversaire - and thanks to Natalie's sweater, I can now say "Black is the New Black" - le noir et le nouveau noir.

On a side note, Meredith took up playing the harmonica as a hobby for about 24 hours. In that time, she got really good. 

What did you do this past Sunday Funday? Any fun plans for next weekend?
