The Manhattan Skyline on Your Feet Ladies!!

Check it Out!

"The Urban Footprint
FOR the opening of his first store in the United States, Pierre Hardy created a sculptural sandal designed to evoke the Manhattan skyline. It costs an eye-popping $1,540; then again, the platform heels are gold-mirrored. Mr. Hardy’s price range starts at $395. (No wonder the designer’s wallet-friendly collaboration with Gap, including wedges for $195, sells out in a nanosecond.) The 1,400-square-foot shop is in a former carriage house in the West Village at 30 Jane Street, (646) 449-0070; pierrehardy.com."

I'm unable to attach a picture, they must have it protected.  You have to check it out though!!

Lola Latin Bistro




Lola Latin Bistro - BYOB - A must visit!!

 

The pictures above really do not give the food justice.

Bread ~ The cutest little hot biscuits in the box!  Accompanied with a dipping reduction of sun dried tomatoes (chopped very small), garlic, and oil.  So simple, but an amazing flavor! 

Appetizer ~We started off with an appetizer special that night, Tuna Tartare.  It was tuna, guacamole, and other goodness, atop a toasted tostado. 

Entrée ~ For the entrée I had the citrus chicken with coconut rice ~ amazing!  My mom had the skirt steak and sweet potatoes, the skirt steak was cooked to perfection and the sweet potatoes were very tasty!

Dessert ~ It is available, but didn’t try it.  An excuse to go back real soon!

Check out the website for the menu, directions, and hours!

No Spitting?!

I've seen many "No" signs, No Parking, No Skateboarding, No Smoking, No Standing, No Dumping, No Trucks, but NO SPITTING, that is a first!!

Some of my favorite picks celebrating PINK is the Giants’ keychain with the pink ribbon, which is available in other teams too, the pink toolkit, and of course the pink Chi iron. Check it out, there is much more to choose from! If you’d rather not celebrate the PINK I’ve also added a Boots and Beauty category. Stay tuned for many more categories that will be added!
