After passing through Condo's Mental States on Sunday afternoon, we decided to ascend to a higher altitude - the seventh floor Sky Room of The New Museum.
Because even the laziest of Sundays adhere to our 4-inch-heel minimum, we only managed to navigate through NoLiTa for 1 short hour before nestling into L'asso for champagne and light Italian fare. Stylish patrons, delicious gluten-free options, and a waiter that's easy on the eyes -- that's enough reason for an encore.

When your daily motions start becoming routine and you find yourself sitting at the same Sunday brunch locations week after week, you know it's time to step out of the box -- This is New York, after all; there are no excuses for living in monotony.
Slip out of your comfort zone and into something memorable.for a weekend of new-boozing and subconcious contemplation.
As you head over to Bowery's New Museum to check out George Condo's "Mental States" exhibition, make sure to dress the part. Nothing accurately communicates one's unrelenting mental condition quite like properly applied punctuation. When paired with a mimimalist Lois Eastlund minidress of maximum graphic proportions, a girl can still grab glances on either side of Delancey.
And as quickly as we learned to say it loudly in Helvetica, Plastique Shop creates more shiny irony for us to wear during these weekend escapades.
After an hour or two of cerebral celebration, it will be time to shift into another mental state achieved only by determined brunching. L'asso on 192 Mott Street combines Dov Charney-like decor with modernized Italian cuisine and a Shazam-worthy playlist.
Before sauntering deep into Nolita, be sure to prove your devotion to Italian design -- as it is always appreciated just north of Canal. A pair of Cesare Paciotti shooties will certainly evoke a "ciao bella" or two as you make your way down Mulberry. Just keep your balance on those uneven sidewalks.
