Sweater top: Club MonacoNecklace: Aldo
Skirt: Fendi

Every now and then, my husband and I like to go to Cafe Katja in the Lower East Side for some amazing, hearty Austrian comfort food. It's quite the neighborhood gem.
Emmentaler sausage with savoy cabbage and quark dumplings
The amazing beet salad...I used to detest beets (I never ate them growing up), but I have grown to love them.
A freshly baked pretzel with some tear-inducing mustard sauce on the side (I swear there's wasabi in it!). And of course a meal would not be complete without a sweet and slightly bitter ambrosial drink.
We passed by this gnarled and misshapen tree outside of Le Petit Puppy, an upscale puppy pet shop on Christopher Street in the Village.
Quite arachnid and creepy...~
On an unrelated note, a reader asked me about my favorite brands. I've separated them into categories:

I think the pretzel mustard is called Kren.. if it is it's made with horseradish, just like Wasabi! I love it, it's a specialty in Northern Italy too.
Luxe outfit BTW :D
