Wait for it....

Okay I am going to have to play catch up on my pics from 2011 before I start posting for this new year haha...

Be prepared for lots of awesomeness !

artsy new york

i loooove nyc. if i ever win the lottery, i would have a penthouse in SoHo :)

here's some fun graffiti in the financial district. doesn't this remind you of calvin and hobbs??

don't be sad, grey man. dont be sad!

high line park. it's a park on old, elevated train tracks! it's my second favorite park in nyc (the first is people's garden where they filmed the end of You've got mail hehehe).

beautiful flower :)

just a random building near high line, but i love the architecture

cafe de architectes

earlier this year, i went to Cafe de Architectes in the sofitel hotel. we did a tasting, and it was delicious!! probably one of the best and tender filet mignon i've had.

so i cant remember what exactly we had for each course, so my captions may be a bit generic lol.

let's start with first course - appetizers :)

now to the main entre! we both had the petite filet mignon hehe

and now we finish with deserts!! :P marc had some kind of fruit soup thing lol. and i had a very yummy dark chocolate mousse.

they even gave us on-the-house chocolates for a late vday dinner hehe

must try to be in Fine Spirits

earlier this year, i got a groupon for In Fine Spirits in Andersonville. the place got good reviews on yelp, and so me and marc tried it out in January. and it turned out fabulous! the atmosphere was intimate and fun and the drinks were so delicious :) so great, that we ran our tab over $100 lool. and we went back again for seconds (in june).

can't remember the name of this drink (below)...but i love how the lemon peel just floats in the drink hehe

just beautiful! and also yummmy

and i'll leave you with this fun 'where's waldo' picture :P
