📍 Moleskin: 1168 Lexington Ave
We love getting a new planner and notebook when a new season starts, and there’s no better place to go than the iconic Moleskin store! We went and got a customized notebook but they have so much more to offer at the store! There’s also so many options in terms of color, cover type, engagement, lines vs no lines, etc so you truly can make your notebook feel special and person to you! Go check them out! #fall #notebook #moleskin #planner taken in Upper East Side by @ues_xoxo

📍 HEY TEA | Upper East Side

A Chinese tea chain just opened its first U.S. tea bar right here on the UES, and this 86th Street location is definitely worth checking out! 🧋🍵 Unlike the more grab-and-go HEYTEA locations, this spot is super spacious, with a chic, modern interior that immediately catches your eye when you walk in. ✨ It’s also laptop-friendly, making it a great place to WFH while enjoying a premium tea.

Fun fact: this location features 20+ unique items that you won’t find at standard HEYTEA locations, including: 🍎 Teamix Series — tea blended with craft cocktail-inspired flavors like King Jasmine Guava Pear and Roasted Caramel Apple Jasmine Tea. 🍵 Brewed pot teas 🍫 Deep Matcha & Chocolate Series 🍦 Tea-infused gelato & ice cream
We tried the Roasted Caramel Apple Jasmine Tea from the Teamix series and the Bitter Matcha Latte… they did not disappoint 👀🍵

If you’re a tea lover—or just looking for a cute, spacious new spot on the UES—add this one to your list! taken in Heyteausa by @ues_xoxo

📍 Maison Brew

@maison.brew is a cozy, women-owned neighborhood café tucked away on a quiet side street on 93rd between 1st and 2nd Avenue. It’s a peaceful spot to escape the city noise, settle in with a drink, or grab something quickly to go.

They offer regular & artisanal drinks known for smooth, strong coffee, cold brew, and comforting signature drinks such as their pistachio raspberry latte. They also have fresh pastries & danishes even eclairs😋

We tried a little bit of everything when we came in, and it was such a fun mix of flavors!

🍋 Espresso Lemonade — Such an interesting combination! Bright, citrusy, and refreshing, with the espresso adding a bold, slightly bitter kick. Definitely unique and worth trying if you like adventurous drinks.

🥭🍵 Iced Mango Matcha — Creamy, fruity, and refreshing. The mango adds a nice sweetness that balances the earthy matcha really well. A great choice for a refreshing pick-me-up.

🍓 Strawberry Éclair — Light, sweet, and delicious, with a lovely strawberry flavor. The pastry was soft and the filling made every bite feel indulgent without being too heavy.

🥐 Almond Croissant — Buttery, flaky, and packed with that rich almond flavor. A classic that never disappoints, especially with a cup of coffee.

🍋 Key Lime Cheesecake Danish — The standout for me! The tangy key lime flavor paired so well with the creamy cheesecake filling and flaky Danish pastry. Sweet, tart, and seriously addictive.

Whether you’re looking for a calm coffee break, a fresh pastry, or a cozy place to linger, Maison Brew offers it all! Also don’t forget to check out their rotating refreshers before summer officially ends! taken in Upper East Side by @ues_xoxo

📍 Bangark Thai Cuisine

Had the sweetest dinner at @bangraknyc , a cute and cozy spot that feels like a hidden neighborhood gem 🇹🇭💕. Located on 2nd Ave between e91st and e92nd they serve lunch and dinner. They even have HH till 8pm with drinks starting from $6- $12 and $9 small plate bites…. What a DEAL🤩

For cocktails we started with the My Thai Yuzu — bright, citrusy, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink 🍹Lol

For small plates we shared the Roti Penang Beef a rich, savory, and perfect with the flaky roti. Then we were craving seafood so we went with the Soft Shell Crab which crispy, flavorful, and a must-order if you love
🦀. To add to our crab craving we got the Crab Noodle Clay Pot which has aromatic noodles with generous crab and tons of flavor. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal.
 For the actual meal we split the Lychee Duck Panang — the sweet lychee paired beautifully with the creamy, fragrant panang curry and tender duck. Such a fun combination of sweet, savory, and spicy.

Then lastly somehow we still had room for desert so we tried the 🎃 Custard with Sticky Rice— the perfect ending to our meal. Creamy, subtly sweet pumpkin custard with chewy sticky rice. It was cozy and delicious 😋 .

Overall, Bangrak Thai Cuisine is a cute UES spot worth adding to the list — especially if you’re looking for flavorful Thai food, fun cocktails, and a cozy dinner date vibe💕🥢 taken in Bangrak - Thai Cuisine by @ues_xoxo

📍Lu Dream Spa

I love a good head spa treatment, so when I found out @ludreamspa_nyc just opened a new location on E60th street on the Upper East Side, I was thrilled I didn’t have to travel far!✨

They offer a relaxing scalp treatment that includes a deep scalp cleanse, plus a scalp, shoulder, and back massage. The whole experience is incredibly relaxing—from the different hair tools they use to the “rainfall shower” device, which feels so satisfying. 💆‍♀️💦

One of my favorite parts is that they finish the service by blow-drying your hair, so you don’t have to leave the salon with wet hair! My hair has never felt and looked so amazing. If you’ve been wanting to try a head spa, this is your sign 🪧 lol.

They offer a soft opening promo for a 60 minute heads spa treatment for only $68 or an everyday promotion for an hour heads spa treatment plus an hour any other service for only $178. Book an appointment before it gets too popular & check back next month for their grand opening! taken in Upper East Side, Manhattan by @ues_xoxo

📍Bar Enzo
This Italian-American cocktail bar, @barenzo.nyc just opened up on the upper east side and is inspired by the lively family parties in grandmas basement…. giving grandma’s basement after everyone’s had a few too many aperitivi lol. We love how moody, and intimate this space is. You can party at Nonna’s on 1st Avenue between 58th & 59th.

We started with the Sporcaccione Martini, made with Quattro Gatti olive grove brine + Contratto Bianco rinse — served with an aperitivo-inspired garnish that I’m officially calling the Italian kebab lol. 🫒

Then we had to try the Altrove Negroni, made with Banhez Mezcal, Suze, Cocchi Americano + orange bitters. We’re not typically Negroni girlies, but Bar Enzo is known for its Negroni selection, so obviously we had to see what the hype was about.

Last we tried Latru which had Neversink, Tempus Fugit, grapefruit, lemon, Peychaud’s + soda, served long. Bright, refreshing and a very nice way to finish the lineup.

10/10 would happily get lost in Nonna’s basement again🍸🥃

Also fun fact, be sure to make sure not to leave without one of their fun post cards because collect all 8 and you get a free drink😉. All physical post cards must be present to recieve your 🆓 drink. All characters on post cards are characters are part of their cute picture featured at the end of the video. taken in Upper East Side by @ues_xoxo

📍 Marlow East
We just had the best girls dinner at Marlow East! It’s located on Lexington and 73rd in the most gorgeous two story restaurant. You might have even seen this place featured in the Devil Wears Prada 2👀 We tried the lobster ravioli, burger with pimento cheese, miso cod, peach Aperol spritz, and pimento cheese dirty martini🍸 The star of the show seemed to be the seafood, but you really can’t go wrong with anything you order here, and the vibes are all around incredible! #marloweast #nycrestaurant #newinnyc taken in Upper East Side by @ues_xoxo

📍Lenox Thai

If you’re craving Thai food on the Upper East Side without the formality of a sit-down restaurant, this fast-casual spot is definitely worth a visit. We started with the Thai iced tea and lychee sunrise—both refreshing and a great way to kick off the meal🥢

For appetizers, we shared the 4-piece crispy spring rolls, which were crunchy, flavorful, and the perfect size for sharing. For our mains, we went with the tom yum noodle soup and pad Thai. The tom yum noodle soup had that signature balance of tangy, savory, and spicy flavors, while the pad Thai was a comforting classic with plenty of flavor.

Dessert was a highlight. We ordered the kluai kheak (Thai banana fritters), which were crispy on the outside and sweet and satisfying. To our surprise, they also brought out chive dumplings for us to try, which was such a nice unexpected touch.

Overall, it was a flavorful meal with a great mix of Thai classics, refreshing drinks, and a few unexpected surprises. It’s a solid spot for a quick and casual Thai meal on the Upper East Side. Book your next lunch or dinner spot at @lenoxthainyc taken in Upper East Side by @ues_xoxo
