Kristen Stewart [1] looked happy and relaxed during a fun day out in New York City with a friend on Thursday. The actress, who recently returned to the US from the Venice Film Festival in Italy, kept the outing casual in pants and a white t-shirt. Kristen was spotted smoking a cigarette while walking around the SoHo neighborhood with her friend.
