When I pick which photos I want to include in my posts, I “flag” the ones I like most when I upload them in iPhoto. Right now I have 50 “flagged” photos. It’s just too beautiful here. This morning we spent some more time in Antwerp, our first stop in Belgium. Unfortunately it was a [...]

I think this picture is sweet. Last night in Amsterdam there was a bit of a storm, and we didn’t have umbrellas so we were just going to run back to our room for the night but by the time we got back, it had stopped raining so we decided to turn around and go [...]

Has anyone ever been to a “hairdresser”? Let me know. I tried herring today. Meaning: that’s not a hot dog I’m about to eat. It’s a raw fish sandwich with pickles and onions. My mom had two bites and I probably had four. It wasn’t bad actually, but I didn’t see a reason to finish [...]
Penguins!

I meant to post this picture yesterday, actually. When we were on our little bike tour in North Amsterdam, we drove by this house and I just had to stop because there were penguins in the window! I want one.

Heyo! I am live-blogging from Amsterdam here! We’re staying at a crazy little hostel right now (in the Smirnoff room, actually… and there’s a giant red button on the wall and below it a sign that says, “Do not push button” but I am DYING to push it) and they have wireless internet so la [...]

For the record, I did not eat this. Not that there’s anything wrong with eating this giant, juicy burger here per se, it’s just that I had already eaten most of my lunch when I decided to meet up with my friend Lisa at Stand yesterday. And also, a certain someone was recently looking at [...]

So, if you didn’t know, Restaurant Week was extended to Labor Day. It seems that all Restaurant Weeks of late have turned into Restaurant Month or Two instead. Is it the economy? Maybe, but I don’t mind. Last night I took advantage of the three-course prix fixe menus one last time by going to Devi [...]
Jacques Torres Ice Cream

I’m trying really hard not to make this a blog about ice cream, I can’t help that I like it so much! This weekend, to my mother’s dismay (she would have rather gone to the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory) we stopped at Jacques Torres’ ice cream shop in Dumbo. It opened sometime in the past [...]

It’s not every weekend I get to have brunch on Saturday AND Sunday. Yep, that was my brunch this morning. After going to the Journey Church with my mother, we went to Good Enough to Eat, a cute little spot on the UWS. I’ve tried to go before but the line was too long and [...]
