Black Milk Bubble Tea

 One of my favorite drinks that I stumbled upon while living in New York is Black Milk Bubble Tea… It has tapioca balls at the bottom to help when you take a gulp. It’s kind of sweet and has a bit of caffeine to pep you up. Did a little business today in my blue Zara suit and stopped by to grab a bubble tea. In the city, my favorite place for bubble tea is Vivi Bubble Tea but this spot here in West Palm Beach is called Art of Boba. They also sell an amazing green waffle. Go grab one today!

NYC Restaurant Week: Top 3 Must-Try Favorites

Estiatorio Milos’ Milos Special

Hey there! So it’s been a little bit of time since I was in the city but I just had to share some of my favorite restaurants participating in New York Restaurant Week from January 16 to February 4th. If you’re not familiar with the week, restaurants provide discounts and prix-fixe menus so that you can have a somewhat less expensive dining experience. 

So, here are my top three favorite restaurants in New York that are participating in Restaurant Week.

Estiatorio Milos – has some of the city’s best Greek food, some of the fish and other produce are flown in on a daily basis from the Mediterranean

Estiatorio Milos’ Loup de mer
Philippe Chow Chicken Satays

Phillippe Chow – upscale Chinese restaurant with some of the best chicken satays and peking duck I’ve ever had

Red Rooster Fried Yardbird

Red Rooster Marcus Samuelsson created a Harlem staple some time ago and I just love Red Rooster. Forget the decor and the music, the Southern American food is just delicious. The deviled eggs, fried chicken, collard greens and cornbread are some of my fave dishes.

Are you going anywhere for New York Restaurant Week?

NYC Restaurant Week

   

So happy New York city restaurant week! I recently stopped by Eataly in Flatiron and of course had to get some food. Unfortunately, a lot of my go-to restaurants in the city have permanently closed due to all the COVID problems. But, I think the city is ready for a comeback and with everything these restaurants had to go through during this pandemic, it’s great to show some support. So why not book your next lunch or dinner? You can check out which restaurants are participating in New York restaurant week here.

Proenza Schouler Masks for Mayor’s Fund

So I started wearing a mask to go out and run errands amidst the global coronavirus pandemic. And, as a New Yorker, my heart goes out to the essential workers and vulnerable people of the city. Proenza Schouler is supporting the relief efforts in the city with seven limited edition masks made from archival collection fabric. 100% of the net proceeds are being donated to the New York City Mayor’s Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund. So you can be cute, protect yourself and help the situation in New York at the same time. See more below!

Funky Graffiti Wall

I love graffiti. There’s just something so rebellious and beautiful about it. I recently came across this door downtown and just thought it was really cool. New York is a dirty, grungy city but this is the kind of beauty that you can randomly find on the street sometimes.

Have a great day and don’t forget to check out some of my new paintings here.

So, I’m snowed in like everyone else in the Northeast right now. Jonas is not exactly a blizzard here in New York but it’s definitely dumping a lot of snow on us. I mean, I can’t even see outside too well because of this snow. Anyway, this kind of weather calls for some great snow boots. And why not be cute while you stay warm this winter? Check out these boots below and even more winter accessories here.

Last week I also caught some of Nolcha Fashion Week. It was a frenzy backstage but as usual everything came together beautifully. I really liked designs by Christian Benner, Leka, and L Catherine London. I love a good statement jacket and Christian Benner and Leka’s biker jackets scream New York City. I was also able to catch up with Christian Benner later and get a closer look at his jackets which have full rock star status. See more photos below!
