Tiffany & Co.

I forgot to mention that Olli and I took a detour through Tiffany.  The third floor has the silver (read: affordable) jewelry.  I dropped a few hints for Christmas.  Let's hope they stuck!

Swanky!

So, Lotus was totally swanky with it signature drinks, "list to get in" and food served in chinese food cartons vs. plates.  We had a really good time. 

 

Off to Marseille for brunch with friends!

Baby it's cold outside...

It's 30 degrees in New York City and the gang and I are going to order out for Buritoville for lunch.  (Review to follow!)  I'm always in the mood for a meal that involves melted cheese!

 Off to Lotus tonight for the holiday party and I have plans with family in New Jersey at the Wharfside tomorrow (reviews to follow).  Ah, the life of a 20-something in Manhattan!

Holiday Party

Olli and I are headed to Lotus (review to follow) for his company's holiday party.  It looks fairly swank and I bought a new outfit to mark the occasion.

South of the Border

Just got back from a yummy business lunch at Mary Ann's on W. Broadway.  Talk about great Mexican food at a fantastic price.  Their enchiladas are fantastic – I get them every time I go. 

 Don't miss their white sangria, even if you <u>do</u> have to return to the offfice.  It's worth the breath mint.

Day in the Life...

We're back from a busy weekend in NYC.  We had friends in town from Saratoga, NY so we spent the weekend touring Manhattan and seeing all of the holiday sites.  Rockefellar Center, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, yogurt at Forty Carrots, and browsing the Park-Avenue windows – you name it, we did it.  We capped off the weekend with delicisous dinners at Marseille (West Side) and Uva (East Side), which are still making my mouth...
