Here's a post continuing the NY visitors from a couple weeks ago...



People watching at Central Park:


Then it was my first time eating at Lombardi's... and I can't believe people compare it to Grimaldi's!  It's not even half as good! (we colored on the box while we waited)




Drinks before the daniel's gig:




Gig at Fat Baby. Terrible space, but good music :)


Then we dropped off our names at the karaoke place to go eat some ghetto korean food!





Then... karaoke!!


We had our coats on because the room was FREEZING for some reason. Then we tailed our way home at 5am. Whew.

it's been a nice and snowy couple of weeks. I'm still not used to snow, so I try to take pictures whenever I can!



on my way to work...




a huge puddle!!! i wanted to jump in it.


I got an early birthday gift in the mail by some of my dearest friends!


they baked me the most delicious cookies! so cute!


they also included a few magazines with notes all over the inside... how creative huh?


here's my last Crumbs cake I'll probably ever eat. i asked the best artist to make it look as amazing as possible... and it came out great!


Birthday dinner & karaoke night with Paul & Lilers!






Oh... and I also chopped off my hair!


I'll end with this awesome picture.  There's nothing like singing your heart out!

Get ready for a lot of food pictures! The 2nd day was one of the best days I've ever had out of all of my entertainment/food experiences! First off, we ate Belgium brunch at RESTO:

Amazing buttermilk pancakes, almost the best I've had.. for only $9!


Belgium waffle with bacon BAKED into it, topped off with eggs benedict on top served with potato spuds. AWESOME.


The most special thing this place has is the HANGOVER PASTA, recommended to us by Gina. Basically it's carbonara pasta with a fried egg on it. SO GOOD!


Next stop... Doughnut Plant!! Gingerbread donut, hazelnut donut, creme brulee donut, a few small apple spice ones...


Afterwards we headed to our musical, Westside Story which was AWESOME!!! Funny thing is that the woman sitting in front of me, was HUGE! I had to keep moving my head around her. She was WAY bigger than her husband, so I'm assuming she was huge AND tall.


THEN we realized we only had 15 minutes to get to our dinner reservation, so we RAN off to grab a cab as soon as the curtains came down. Then we prepared to eat the most decadent meal we've ever had at BABBO:

Lisa talking to the Maitre' D:


First starters, the goat green something salad and fried octupus -- which had the same texture as chicken! it was SO GOOD!


I asked the waiter, should I get the Black Spaghetti or... and then he CUT ME OFF and said "Get the black spaghetti." HA. So I guess that dish is super popular! It was really good!!! (Even though the picture looks so gross)


Pork belly ravioli


foie gras! my first time... amazing


I dunno what this was. haha


Calamari


By this time, we were STUFFED so we waited until we were ready for dessert. We had panna cotta and some type of pistachio/chocolate thing and they were both AMAZING. This is a really bad picture but I was so tired.


We closed out the restaurant! A 4 hour meal that ended at 2am.... it was such a New York experience!


To be continued again!! More good food to come...
