Really easy to make.. complements of Trader Joe's ingredients..

I actually wish i had some pizza now.. instead of having to study Baye's theorem and Poisson distributions...

Bread pudding, vanilla ice cream.. and wine from Tonalli's.. an amazinggggg restaurant a few blocks away from my apartment.. it's a true treat to have such a delicious place so nearby!

Philly Philled and the Fantastic Fantasticks

So I have been behind on my blogging again but these past two weekends have been amazing.. I got to visit Philly to visit my amazing friend Vivian and go to the famous reading terminal market, eat philly cheesesteaks (Pat and Gino's go head to head!), watch harry potter in imax at a museum, go to a jam-packed philly street festival, eat an amazing london feast at Dandelions, run up the rocky steps... and more...!!

Christina also visited from New York this past weekend and we watched a great musical, ate good sushi and macarons.. and she got to spend her first night in Harlem!

I am so lucky to have close friends near by in New York!!!!

We got the freshest juice at Reading Terminal Market

So many delicious places to choose from

The philly street fall festival

At the top of the Rocky Steps! Take One!

Take two!

Pat's Cheesesteaks?

Or Ginos?

They go head to head

Their fries too

Pat's is the clear winner! And Cheese Whiz is a definite must over provolone (we tried both from each)

Vivian's amazing apartment (Definitely rare in New York)

Capogiro Gelato (a true must if in philly..!! The most amazing and freshest flavors)

Yum Yum

Dandelion's! We got the best seat in the house

The most amazing cheese platter! the cheese, crackers, compote, and honey.. were a perfect combination..

The best way to eat meat, bread and potatoes

Shepherd's Pie

Buttery Trout

AN AMAZING LONDON FEASTT!!! THANK YOU VIVIANN!!!

Christina visits... and we watch the Fantastiks!! This off-broadway musical is soooooooooooooooooo cute.. and I highly recommend it! It is showing at the Snapple theater!!!

Macaron Cafe in New York... I love macarons!

Christina tries macarons for the first time!

Although New York still doesn't feel like home just yet.. i am glad to have close friends and visitors! Time to go to class!!!!

My hunch is on brunch

I don't think I've eaten out to get brunch more than I already have while being in New York. It seems like weekends are meant for going out to brunch.. although that sometimes means getting brunch after lunch time which doesn't really make it brunch but it's still considered brunch anyways. I have always loved pancakes, french toast, eggs, and brunch food but never got to really eat it as much as I wanted to till now. I've had some delicious brunches at Recipe, Kitchenette, and Nice Matin to name a few.. but just got to try Jane in the West Village this past weekend. It was delicious.. and I actually went with my sister.. whose name is JANE!

Vanilla Bean French Toast

Made with brioche bread and creme brulee batter that actually melts in your mouth

Benedict Jane

Poached eggs on top of crab and crawfish cakes

Hopefully more brunches to come soon.. Eating so much brunch has gotten me thinkin...Where is your favorite place to get brunch and why? I would like to know.. so please comment!!!!

Lady Em

A thousand layers of crepe... in a cake.. what more can i say..

NEW YORKKK

It has been several weeks since I have been to New York and I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like the days pass by like hours. I have been trying to take alot of pictures but don't always remember! I go to a restaurant and take a picture of the decor.. but get too hungry and forget to take a picture of the food before I eat it all up!

I have enjoyed alot of the city due to the great weather but it has been busy getting settled and adjusting to being a student again! I have definitely had some moments of craziness but finally feel like I am myself again. Classes are already getting tough with tons of reading and assignments but I hope to get in the swing of things soon. After a few bruises and pulling out a few incorrectly hammered-in nails, I finally put my bed, dresser, desk and chair together almost entirely on my own! I have already had the chance to escape from the busyness of the city with a hike to Bear Mountain and another day picnicking and laying out at Central Park. I have already tried so much good food and still have so much more to try. Since it has been so long since I have posted, I am going to try to provide a variety of pictures from the past few weeks.
These pictures are in no particular order! Sorry for the disorganization

APPLE DAY in Lower East Side!
