Normally, I keep the places that are near and dear to me close to my vest, but after living near Mamajuana’s for a while, I couldn’t resist.
I finally had brunch for the first time at Mamajuana’s this afternoon for a birthday brunch. It has a buffet style brunch with an omelet bar [...]

I went to Bubba Gump Shrimp Company yesterday in Times Square for a birthday party. At first when I heard about the venue, lets just say that shrimp is not one of my favorite foods. However, when I saw the menu online, I was reassured by the ribs, pulled pork and chicken choices.
I decided to [...]

Central Park
Originally uploaded by furiousgeorge81
After starting to feel like if I live in another city, like Seattle or London, the rain finally lead up.
Some friends and I decided to have a potluck in Central Park. The weather was gorgeous for picnicking.
Sometimes, there is nothing like getting out and enjoying the great view and weather.

Nothing like an Easter Sunday afternoon and an impromptu call from a partner in crime to get you out of a funk.
My friend invited me to see a play (more about that in a later post). After wards, we went to South to grab a bite.
I opted for cobb salad since it rare that [...]

It was another work afternoon in the city. I had intentions of going home and scraping up leftovers when I got a call from a long-time friend. She was going to see an Off-Off-Broadway play and wanted to know if I wanted to come along. She also recommended that we eat Ethiopian.
I had to wait [...]

After a dim sum to welcome in the new year, a high school classmate of mine took our group to a chocolate shop. Not just any chocolate shop, chocolate with treats inside.
I’ve grown partial to the tiramisu and the orange fill, but you can vote for your favorite by visiting their stores in Soho or [...]

I took the chance to finally take some downtime and treat myself for my birthday. Instead of jetting off to a resort somewhere, going to the spa last week is as simple as a train ride away.
I have a long history with the spa, so I admit it’ll be tough for me to stay biased. [...]

Their bubble-gum pink store front along with their princess-skull logo vividly stands out on Bayard Street; the small tea and snack shop essentially embodies [...]
