Dinner at Le Bernardin

Last night went to Le Bernardin and it was amazing. I must say that it is now my new #2 favorite restaurant, right after Gramercy Tavern. The food was excellent, a really nice staff and the potato bread I could not get enough of. The deserts were great especially the one in the hazelnut category!

The Red Cat Restaurant and Museums


Recently went to the "The Red Cat" restaurant on 10the Ave and 23rd....the food was really good and the Bacon Tempura lived up to the expectations!!!!

Yesterday went to the Metropolitan museum, always inspires....It is so beautiful!!! Then went to the Frick museum on 70th street and 5the ave. Can't believe that was a home my whole apartment can fit into the dining room!!! But really amazing works of art. But there is also gardens inside and outside, great old clocks and furniture. It's really nice to relax in the atrium and just listen to the fountain.

Found a great cocktail dress at Nicole Miller

Found a great cocktail dress for a wedding at Nicole Miller in Soho. The sale staff were really nice and patient, tried on alot of dresses. Her dresses are great they have some stretch and rooshing (sorry for misspelling) so it complements all figures. Hides faults and shows off positives. If you need a dress try her dresses first, a friend of mine who is very curvy bought a dress there and she looks amazing. I am not curvy.. no hips and the dress is amazing it some how fakes some curve woohoo!!!!!

A Great Restaurant with a nice floor plan for a date

Went to Jean Georges, great food, so so to bad deserts, great service. But they have these booths that are inset into the wall so somewhat private, great for a romantic date. The chairs are amazingly comfortable and the tables are spread apart which is really nice!

Another great thing to do in New York City...BROADWAY

I just saw "Next to Normal" on Broadway....it was AMAZING! It was funny it was sad and the music was spectacular. The stand in for the female lead, Jessica Phillips was phenomenal. If you get a chance to see this I highly recommend it!!!! You gotta love Broadway :) The other shows I loved; "Jersey Boys", "Wicked", "Avenue Q", and "Chicago" to name a few!

This Weeks Restaurant Review

I love New York City and all the fabulous things you can experience here. I want to share some of my favorites and not so favorites. Just went to Daniels this weekend it was good not great but the desserts were amazing. At the end of the meal they give you warm madeline cookies I suggest having a glass of Sancerre (white wine) with it, it made the orange flavor stronger!!!

My top 3 restaurants in the city so far are Gramercy Tavern, Union Square and Mas Farmhouse - an added bonus with Mas, really cute men serve you great food for each customer....very nice :)

Went to MOMA over the weekend had a great show on the 2nd floor about saving stuff it was really interesting.
