Nothing beats a summer day with nothing to do. It's perfect in New York City today: 75F, sunny and warm with a gentle breeze.

After a lazy morning, I met Jake, my favorite dining companion, for lunch at Westville East. The weather dictated salads so we indulged in their huge bowls of greens and bowls of spicy, tart gazpacho.

Club salad for me, Arugula and Parmesan salad for him. The only thing I regret about this meal is not indulging in their frozen mint lemonade. Next time, for sure.
