City Lights

This was a perfect sunday afternoon. Chris and I ate at Pipa, a tapas restaurant on 19th Street between Broadway and Park. We had the most delicious brunch. I had Smoked Salmon Benedict which was comprised of two poached eggs, smoked salmon, potato pancakes, mascarpone cheese and hollandaise sauce. My boyfriend had strawberry pancakes with warm strawberry maple syrup. AMAZING. 

Pipa is so beautiful. There are dozens of sparkling chandeliers hanging from the rafters. Its a great date spot or place to go with friends.   



The sparkling lights theme continued with our trip to Madison Square Park. There is a beautiful art installation in the middle of the park that is comprised of hundred of light bulbs hanging from wires. At night its absolutely stunning to see these suspended shimmering lights in the middle of the park.



This light installation is very adaptable to a in-home light installation. All you need is a couple of these cords from Ikea. The product is called the HEMMA cord set and runs about $3.99


Then you add the light bulb and ...WHA-LA! These are some great examples from Apartment Therapy:
