Milk & Roses
@jensierra
This spot is so underrated that makes you feel like you escaped the city without actually leaving. It has a beautiful rustic interior with a gorgeous patio/garden outside.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jen Sierra
Hi guys! Happy to see you here :) I'm a NYC-based travel creator who grew up in Atlanta, GA and previously studied/worked in London, but I have been traveling since I was just 6 months old! My family truly created my love for travel as I am half Indonesian visiting my family, my dad has a PHD in German and visits every few years, etc. I am trusted by travelers on social media to create the ultimate guides/itineraries and find "money-worthy" spots to share; NYC and Paris are my most popular locations! I wouldn't call myself a luxury traveler, but I'm not a budget traveler either, somewhere in between that gets the most bang for your buck. I love a balance between adventure and slow travel because working a 9-5 has taught me the importance of balance! It has also taught me how to maximize my time to be able to travel frequently (my friends don't understand how I do it haha)
