Tidbit: Doggy Bagged
The leftovers that came home with me.
I went to dinner with my possibly new #1 eating partner. It was at Boka, the restaurant version of Bon Chon (the chicken wing place). We ordered incredible amounts of food and for the first time, I wasn’t the one doing the damage on ordering excessively! In addition, we went to Luke’s Lobster for a snack right before dinner when we were on the...

First Pudding Party!
Pudding, as in —>Christmas pudding. It’s a bit late since we’re just about getting into February, but where do you think that statement “better late than never” derives from?!?!
It’s the first year for the ultimate pudding party..I want this to be an annual event! It is also a first for many of us to try christmas pudding.
The pudding was served with...

La Bellezza - The Lunch Spot for Foot-Long Heroes
Frank’s father wearing Frank’s cap
YES! Another kick ass lunch spot in midtown east by my office!
I heardabout this spot from someone in the office. I would frequently see him eat his lunch and it always smelled and looked so good. I was super envious and finally made my way out there to his lunch spot. It was more than I ever imagined it to be.
The owners are so friendly and very...

Wild Edibles!
Seafood in Manhattan that’s not corporate account like expense?!?!?! CHECK. I never thought in a million years that would exist but I found it! Fresh, delicious, AND affordable. I felt like the king of the world ordering unlimited amounts of oysters, fish, scallops, and clams.
I am growing up. My taste buds have matured and loving new things. Up until a few years ago, I was an anything...

Apiary
A friend of mine worked with the executive chef, Scott Bryan, formerly at Veritas a few years ago. He suggested we go to try his menu at Apiary. I’ve walked by this restaurant over dozens of times, and always naturally sneaking a peek. There was something that drawn my curiosity towards it (perhaps it was because of the clear glass exterior) but I haven’t put much effort into...

Tidbit: Macarons!
I love getting things in pretty boxes, and then finding out it’s edible! (Don’t get me wrong, I also like diamonds, ALL women do!)
But I have to admit, totally unexpected gifts are the best gifts. When you have expectations, you are destined for disappointment. Sad but true.
Macarons are wonderful. They are soft, light, airy, fluffy and crispy from its shell like crust..all in one!...

Vosges
…a luxurious, exotic chocolate experience.
It’s a great place to stop in from the Soho madness and a much needed shopping break. The décor is really chic and cool. There are mirrors and the color purple everywhere, leaving a very laid back yet, unique upbeat vibe at the same time. It left me thinking, “this is a place to stop by where the cool kids hang out”.
