Fiore’s

We needed to fuel our bellies before heading out of the city for the Labor Day weekend and Gav wanted sandwiches.  Since we were leaving from Hoboken (still a pretty foreign place to me), I was unable to contribute any suggestions, but luckily, Gav had us covered and insisted we grab food from Fiore’s. This…

Bagatelle Brunch

Want a party?  Go to Bagatelle for brunch.   Believe me, you need to be briefed beforehand so you know what you’re getting into. We arrived at 1:30 on Saturday to celebrate Steph’s bday, and I saw a few disbelievers in the group.  I think they were just surprised to see so many sequined dresses in…

Book Review: Little Bee

Just finished a great book.  If you want a quick read, be sure to pick up Little Bee by Chris Cleave.  Note, I said quick read not beach read.  Though you could read this on while laying out, don’t expect chick lit.  It may move fast, but it’s not exactly light.  The chapters alternate between the…

Milos

I’m going to tell it like it is right now.  Work is HARD.  We are super busy which means everyone is putting in some long hours, stressed to the max.  In my opinion, the best way to relieve stress is with a great meal, which is why I headed out to a nice lunch with…

Standard Grill

We started by sharing a…

A Bit of Bubbly

I almost forgot to blog about a cute little bar we went to on Friday night after the comedy show and dinner!  That would have been a little sad because it was a good little find.  With Susan’s direction, we left the West Village and took the E to TriBeCa to check out Bubble Lounge.…

Yerba Buena

Saturday night, we headed to Yerba Buena for what was to be a wonderful dinner.  I’ve been to Yerba Buena before, but I’ve never gone after the menu the way I did this weekend.  We discovered the maitre d’ used to live in Savannah and soon became BEST friends.  Our new buddy hooked us up with…

The Commodore

Yesterday was all about eating in Williamsburg.  We started the afternoon by going to 3rd Ward‘s 3rd Annual Pig Out! celebration.  3rd Ward is an artist collective that offers classes and workspace and apparently some pretty awesome events.  Check it out if you’re artsy…or if you just like fun, porky events.  The team from the…

Book Review: Orange is the New Black

I need to thank Allison for telling me to read Orange is the New Black, Piper Kerman’s memoir of spending just over a year in prison.  Imagine the least prison likely person possible.  You’re probably picturing me right now.  Well that’s basically what it was like for Piper Kerman a blond WASP who ran with…
