Weekends in New York for me usually consist of some hybrid of cycling and climbing in nearby nature.  Sometimes,  they consist of brunch.

I trekked over to Astoria yesterday to celebrate Juliette’s (my best friend’s daughter aka niece) 6-week birthday.  Chardonnay flowed freely and was paired with mahi mahi tacos,  ginger beer battered fish, lamb lollies (top) and pavolva (bottom) at Thirsty Koala,  an Aussie café.

Dare I say it was all delicious and promptly devoured.
