This week, I rode my bike near one of my old favorite spots. Known for complimentary champagne service in the women's bathroom and their soup dumplings (also, as a bougie New York establishment catering to A-listers and the well-dressed), Beauty & Essex was one of my go-to picks when I first moved to New York City back in 2012. I haven't been back in years, until this week, when I rode by it en route to find caffeine post-workout. Today, I'm reflecting on my early days In this magical city, thinking about how the times of changed, and finding some gratitude for what was (and, what is).
