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?

The Perfect Outfit for Art Basel Miami from SIR.

Good morning from sunny South Florida! Art Week Miami is upon us and there are all kinds of events, parties and celebrations going on. I stumbled upon a cute, artsy dress from a brand out of Australia called SIR. that is perfect to wear to a dinner or Art Basel event this week. There is also a top and skirt with the same print available as well.

As I say, fashion is art in real life. Are you going to be in Miami this week?

Camoflauge Ivy Park

So, even though there may be no more Ivy Park after the Noir collection, I am still rocking some of the outfits. I have some great workout gear as well as just cute clothes for a nice date night. I just love this sheer Camouflage Ivy Park catsuit, part of what my sister Beyoncé wore on her Renaissance Tour. Paired with a cute hat and some Louboutins, I am definitely “feelin myself.” Do you think Beyoncé will design more clothing?
