The Ansonia



One of my most favorite places to visit in the city has been visiting a friend who's been living at the Ansonia on the UWS. The landmark building stands on the corner of Broadway and 72nd in all her glory- every single detail about her, from the entryway to the mailboxes is exquisite and upon stepping into the grand entryway one is immediately transported to New York City in all it's grandeur in the early 19th century.

Last night we bid adieu to our evenings in the Ansonia with a gorgeous Rhone and a tasty dutch cheese called Vlaskaas. Surprisingly complex and yet relatively inexpensive, this cheese is firm but creamy with end notes of caramel and hazelnuts.
