Vainty Fair has some really lovely photos of William and Kate's whirlwind North American tour. But my favorite snaps were of Kate's feet.

NYC: Birreria at Eataly

DSC_1110

This weekend we hit the Birreria on the rooftop of Eataly for some cask ale and cheese. The sun was shining and the beer was flowing. Sadly, New York City is lacking in the outdoor dining department, so the rooftop is a novelty, especially on a beautiful Summer day.

Our favorite was the "Liquid Gold" beer, which was cold and refreshing.

We splurged and got the 7 cheese plate, which came with fresh bread and honey. My favorite was the fresh ricotta.

Unfortunately the beer and apricot marinated pork shoulder didn't last long enough to make it on camera. At $19 it was priced to move.

If you find yourself in the Flatiron district, hit the Birreria. Bottoms up!

Hoping to do a little grilling this holiday weekend with friends and this recipe for Honeydew Lime popsicles looks amazing.

Hoping everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July! I'll be celebrating in Charleston, SC. Any recommendations?
