[I *heart* NYC] Society Cafe + Summer Stages

2 Comments

@Mirrs2 came to visit me and of course I had to show her a good time. I had been hearing great things about Society Cafe on 114 and Fredrick Douglas so we decided to go give it a try.

Mirrs opted for Stuffed French Toast with a Mimosa while I picked Red Velvet Waffles, eggs, and turkey bacon.

Delish. Delish. Delish.

The waffles were delightful but a bit to sweet, I think I would have them again for dessert.

…and the turkey bacon.. nom.nom.nom… I could eat all day! 😉

After we stuffed our faces we walked over to 72 + Park to enjoy an afternoon of good music courtesy of  Summer Stages.

And a fabulous afternoon it was!

I was EXTRA excited when they announced my newest favorite artist

Miguel Jontel ( @migmoney @teammiguel) was performing!!

This past weekend I took a little trip back to D.C

I was longing for some quality time with my  B.F.F Jill and she was wishing the same. 🙂

She asked me what I wanted to do and I said “nothing” butttttttt Georgetown Cupcakes + We The Pizza.

We the Pizza is owned by Spike Mendelsohn’s. You might remember him from cycle 10 of Top Chef. He also owns Good Stuff Eatery right next door. ( Delish! I ate there on my last trip )

[I *heart* NYC] Target Kaleidoscopic Fashion Spectacular

2 Comments

Last night I attended the best fashion show ever! It was the Target Kaleidoscopic Fashion Spectacular at The Standard Hotel. Target rented out 155 rooms facing the south side of the Hotel. Following nine days of dance rehearsals on a 20,000 square foot rehearsal stage, 66 dancers performed dazzling choreography. 156 LED lights and a warehouse-sized buildings worth of fiber optic cable  were used to create fast-paced lighting patterns. The show was set to one original musical score by Sam Spiegel, recorded with a 30 piece orchestra, 10-member chorus and traditional drummers at the legendary Capitol Studios, best known as the home of Frank Sinatra.

Since I don’t work to far from The Standard despite the rain I popped a squat on the Highline 3 hours before the show. I figured I could get some much needed editing done and of course score a great seat!

Target provided its guest with custom binoculars for better viewing of the models high above.I was extra excited that @FRANCESHATHAWAY came out to join me.

We had a perfect little date that included freshly popped popcorn provided by Theo 😉

And the show began!It was truly breathtaking!Seriously one of the coolest shows ever! Granted I could barely see the “clothes” but the synchronized lights and dancing totally made up for it!Kudos to TARGET for such a phenomenal job!

You can’t really hear the music.. But enjoy the show!

[Random Ramblings] Happy Monday!

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the way you love yourself, well, that’s just fabulous”
-Carrie Bradshaw

Happy Monday All!
