Post Tourista Tour

After our big adventure to the top of NYC we were pretty pooped but wanting some dinner. We kinda wandered and found ourselves near the Flatiron building. One of my favorite buildings in the city and right near Madison Square Park. We found a few places to consider in my NFT book but had a little trouble finding them. The Shake Shack looked very popular but the line was so long there was no way that was an option. So we walked a few more blocked and Mom saw a string of lights that beckoned us down a side street. Jackpot. Almond was delightful. We had a window seat so we got the benefit of outside sights with inside temperatures. Perfect. And the food......oh my.



Mine was the Ravioli of goat milk ricotta and swiss chard with lemon cream, chiogga beets and hazelnuts.



Mom had grilled sea scallops with sweet peas, baby carrots, polenta ravioli and duck prosciutto.
Yeah. Uh huh.




Of course we had a walk after dinner but with sights like this, it is most pleasurable.

Trapeze!!!!!

I finally used the gift certificate I got for Christmas from my little sis, Jill. She and I took Trapeze lessons when she came to visit me last year and she knows how much I love it. So last week I took another class and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. It is SO DARN FUN!!!! I have learned new tricks every time and they are getting so fancy and cool. Today I was so excited to try the set split. It just looks so circusy and trapezey! I know that neither one of those are words but that is the only way to describe it. I let me camera run and got a video that ,while it is crap lighting you can see my catch on my new trick LOVE IT!  Take a look.

Me and LD back in da day

My former assistant from Quiksilver was in town this week and she crashed at my place while she was here. It was fun to catch up and have girl time. As I was archive digging tonight I ran across this gem from one of our QS Waterman shoots. We always knew how to throw a little fun into an otherwise tedious project with our Mannies, Bryan and Chad. Oh the days.

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
