The Travel Files: Resto in Mexico

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

When we were in Mexico this past Spring we saw some of the most inventive and creative stores and restaurants I have ever seen in any city...New York included. So much imagination and so outside the box! Cool places that drive trends in home design and home design that has influenced some of these places so there is a wonderful exchange happening between the two. This store, bakery and resto, all in one, has some fun design elements and great branding from the store front to the cups.

I will be sharing some of the inspirational stores and restaurants I find (not because I am traveling but because I am always researching) around the world. I hope you will get to see some of these places in person on your travels!

Enjoy!

New York Eats

While we were in New York this week we went to some of the most interesting and delicious restaurants so I thought I would share. As I said yesterday...and well, many times before...my favourite store is ABC Carpet and Home so naturally I love to eat at the two restaurants in the ABC store location. On Friday night we went to ABC Cocina, which is Tapas style and was it ever good! It is such a pretty restaurant and amazing food. Love the mix of lamps thoughout the restaurant. On Tuesday night we ate at the second ABC resto called ABC Kitchen. Both of the places use the most wonderful handmade pottery as their dinnerware and the whole feeling is very organic, handmade and earthy. 

We also ate at Spice Market...owned by the same restaurateur, Jean-George Vongerichten......Really the best meal of the week...spicy food with a mix of wonderful flavours. Again the decor is amazing.

Lastly I discovered a Korean restaurant on Broadway called Barn Joo. Delicious and fun. 

Try some of these out next time you are in New York.

Interiors: Restaurant Höst

Check out these pictures of the restaurant Höst by the architects Norm out of Denmark. I love how they used reclaimed wood and woolen blankets to create a warm and inviting environment. Who would want to leave this place? What the designers did was mix the feeling of eating outside on a Scandinavian farmyard with an urban, more minimalist decor. They also produced a line of tableware for the restaurant as well as design custom tables and seating. 

The cuisine uses traditional ingredients of Nordic cooking made modern and new. Very much like the design of this wonderful space.

Enjoy!
