FOOD and Exercise for Summer Streets, Restaurant Week and Strava!!

If you make it to 24th Street and Park Avenue during Summer Streets on Saturday, August 19, 2017 try the Yasso Frozen Yogurt!!

Hi,

SUMMER STREETS . . . 10TH ANNIVERSARY . . .

Your Weekly MaveSave is here once again . . . As I did last week, I'm opening this one with Summer Streets!  Like so many great deals it's a recurring one!  So, even if you missed the first two Saturdays of August, you can still walk, run, bike, scoot or skateboard (I didn't see many skateboarders, though) during the last Summer Streets this summer on Saturday, August 19th!

Yasso was delicious!!  My husband, daughter and I devoured the yogurt bars and thought the S'Mores yogurt bar was divine!!  Clearly, we weren't alone because they ran out of it before the other 3 types of bars were finished.  When you ask for your bars, be sure to pick up the $1 coupon!

The Nature's Path Organic Bars were also delicious and well worth the exercise you had to do in order to receive one!  I had to do 3 jumping jacks for a Blueberry Bar and my daughter did some lunges for her Chocolate Bar.

I think the noosa yoghurts were also a hit because there were none left by about 11:30 AM!

The Apple Banana GoGoSqueez, numerous flavors of Honest Tea and Cabot Cheese were also tasty!!

I  will gladly continue talking about food (hint -- it happens twice a year) but of course, Summer Streets is about exercise and what protects your precious head better than a bike helmet?  On 24th Street, they were giving away free DOT biking helmets.  The line is very long but patience is a virtue! The link below shows you a picture of how you will have the helmet fitted when they give it to you.  Thanks DOT!

This seems to be a year with some major anniversaries.

As you can see above, this is the 25th Anniversary of Restaurant Week.  It's a misnomer and there couldn't be amore marvelous misnomer!  Although Restaurant Week began in late July, it actually lasts until this Friday, August 18th.  Sure, it would have been great to have made reservations on the first day.  But, that ship has sailed for this summer!  See what restaurants you want to try out during this last week.  I have to say that I'm glad I tried Vermilion during Restaurant Week.My friend and I enjoyed their Indian-Latin Fusion menu.  Also, everyone I've recommended it to has loved it!  I hope you will, too!

Back to Exercise!! 

This free app may inspire you to track your exercise.  Particularly in NY, I think we take for granted how much we walk.  I'm curious to know if people find themselves connecting to friends on Strava and finding even more inspiration for exercise through this  social network . . . 

Strava
