Dodging taxis going 60mph on a Ducati motorcycle, gorging myself at a gorgeous al fresco Italian restaurant, then catching up with my friend from high school at her Forbes-featured dessert place… yep, that’s all in a New York Minute! Check out how I try to gain five pounds (as part of my YouTube travel series +5) in my old hometown of New York City. And serious props to Go Pro- how incredible is that footage from the “motorcycle cam”?

Places visited: Barolo Restaurant NYC for Restaurant Week (only the best holiday in NYC) and Stick & Pop.
