Redhead With Secrets

A weekend of good friends/food/drinks.

Thursday - Dinner at Redhead, a soulful burger and tots not to forget.

Friday - specialty cocktails proceeded by secret entrances. Hemingway Daiquiri at Employees Only, and a Pear Martini served in a tea cup at Back Room (this entrance more sketchy than the first).

Sunday - Back to West Village at Wilfie and Nells, home of the famous fried egg/sausage thing.

Spring Forward?

March 23rd and it's been snowing all day!

Spring forward?

More like fall back...to the LONGEST winter ever.

Been There. Ate That.

Thanks to a 1st time, long weekend visitor, I crossed more off my list and re-visited some favorites.

Totonno's pizza - twice
McSorley's - oldest continuously operated saloon
Eastville Comedy Club - always a hit
Mayahuel - twice (love the new pilot punch)
Brooklyn Bridge - walked it to and from borough (beautiful)
Chinatown - for cheap baby clothes
S'Mac - buffalo chicken and 4 cheese
Circa - amazing contemporary circus show, somewhat erotic, at NYU
Apple Store - still haven't made in there longer than 5 minutes
FAO Schwartz - only b/c Kim and Kourtney did it
POP burger - there's one in midtown!
The Plaza - just to say we did
Stonewall Inn - great music, 2-for-1 drink specials
Blind Tiger - beer and wine only
Peanut Butter Co. - the Elvis did not disappoint
Pomme Frites - finally discovered the joys of 30 dipping sauces
Random psychic reading after it all. Worth it? I'll live to be 89 - that's all I remember.

And, of course, Crumbs and Shake Shack were local givens.

Yes. And...

Saw Stacy London speak on style and self esteem at the 92Y. Her "Yes. And..." approach to acceptance and story telling was inspiring.
