Sidewalks of New York: Madison Avenue

 

It might as well be spring (in this photograph), but alas, today it's a very snowy January 

Last week the weather was a very unseasonable and (almost) springlike fifty degrees and today it's a regular snowy January day. I made the most of the great weather with lots of walking and getting as many errands done as possible. 

Last Monday I took one of my favorite walks on Madison Avenue. Fabulous window shopping -- it's still No Spending January -- and fun photograph opportunities. Let's visit a few of my favorite stops. 


I'm not a Labubu collector, but I couldn't resist a photo of this 
cute group in the window of a manicure salon.  

No wedding plans for me, friends, but love to window shop this bridal store 

I passed by a place I've been wanting to try for awhile. I passed by before Christmas and there was a line around the corner, so I didn't even try to take pictures. The winter specialty at Glace is hot chocolate, a very fancy hot chocolate. The summer  specialty  is soft serve ice cream, which is one of my favorites. It's pricy -- two scoops for ten dollars -- and the usual line and the price have stopped me from indulging. But this time there was not much of a  line and I indulged myself by going inside and taking pictures.

Everything looks so good. One day when the stars align -- no line and warm weather -- I'm treating myself to soft serve with the  hardshell. I'm leaning to the Brown Butter Vanilla, but there are also ice cream flavors (as seen on the website) which include mint chip and creme brulee. Is anyone else an ice cream or soft serve fan? Which flavor(s) would you go with?

As I mentioned the warm weather has passed and it's snow time. This was the look in Riverside Park yesterday. It was very quiet and I shared the park with people walking their dogs.   

Snowy New York, January 2026

That's the news in Buttercupland. On my agenda for this week is book club, Pilates, a trip (or two) to the gym and there's carrot soup to be made. Any cold weather cooking projects on your schedule?

As ever, thanks for visiting and keep cozy.
