Five Friday Favorites | 81 | Best Italian on the UES, North Fork Vineyard, Book Favorite & UES Speakeasy

1. 83 1/2- Alex said this is one of his top five favorite meals of all time. It was absolutely delicious. I had the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce and it did not disappoint. I think Monday nights is BYOB!
2. Swan Song- I have become a huge Elin Hilderbrand fan. I finished the Swan Song a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it.
3. Terra Vite North Fork Winery and Vineyard - I took the day off and my mom and I drove out east to Jamesport for a little wine tasting. Most vineyards on the North Fork don’t have lunch options, but this is one that did. The sandwiches were pretty good but the potato chips were better. Super fun girl’s day trip.
4. Hill House Vivi Dress- Hill House can do no wrong in my book. They have the best dresses. This is the one I picked up this fall (seen above). I will probably wear it for Thanksgiving with a sweater and tall boots. If you really look at the print you will see horses. 
5. Keys & Heels- This is such a cool speakeasy. It is right next to UVA on the Upper East Side. It looks like a key and shoe repair shop, but it’s really a fabulous bar. The drinks were delicious. Great vibes with a beautiful interior. They take walk ins and reservations.
