Tiffany WoodsAnyone else having major Monday scaries tonight? With the summer being “over” and our first real work week of September tomorrow, I am feeling tons of pressure on all fronts. My birthday is also coming up and I ALWAYS get super emotional during this week. The combo of everything is coming down on me tonight and I just have to remind myself to take deep breaths. I have to remind myself that I have everything I need to be happy - that it’s in my control. I have to remind myself of what I have versus what I don’t, and to be grateful for it. One thing I do have is my amazing community of followers. I LOVE meeting you guys around NYC and please never feel weird about saying hi to me - it truly makes my day. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk ❤️❤️❤️ #NYCDATENITE

PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsWas so excited to post this for “fryday” ... then I realized it’s only Thursday 🤦🏼♀️ OH WELL, anyways - through my research of black owned NYC restaurants to support this week, I have come across so many amazing places that I may never have learned about otherwise. One being @harlemshakenyc - the photos looked mouth watering so went on yelp and reviews such as “like shake shack but better fries” sold me 😂 . I’ve been doing a lot of listening learning and reflecting this week. Please feel free to DM me, even if it’s just to chat ❤️❤️❤️ #NYCDATENITE PC @mslindsays #blm

PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsArtichoke mushroom pizza on the most incredible fluffy dough 😍 @leonellinyc - where you can get Michelin quality food with happy hour prices 😱 It’s more casual bar/restaurant in the lobby of the Evelyn Hotel, but has the same chef as @bennorestaurant , the other more formal restaurant in the hotel which recently gained a Michelin star. All good and drinks $12 and under weekdays 5-7. Your nomad 🍷 🍕 🍷 #NYCDATENITE

PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Tiffany WoodsIt’s my birthday today!! I had a week full of the most special celebrations ( bc everyone deserves a week) starting here @campagnolanyc . This place is just a classic UES staple. White table cloths and old school vibes. The chicken parm and penne vodka is some of the best you will try. Beware, it is $$$ and the waiters help with your order for groups which is nice, but the bill might surprise you. Worth it for a special occasion...I just wish I could go back on a regular basis haha. Anyway, although I had the best week, birthdays are always very stressful and emotional for me - so I’m relieved for it to all be over tomorrow 😂 Thanks to everyone for your kind wishes ❤️❤️❤️ #NYCDATENITE

I was skeptical walking up the dark empty bar stairs, but once we got to the rooftop I knew it was going to be a great experience. Get this hangover pizza +the truffle fries and add on $25 for unlimited mimosas / bloody Mary’s/ beers. Check out my bottomless brunch list on my website for more ideas.
