Image: Mario Tama/Getty I’m in love. This is a chandelier from Tavern on the Green, that either went on auction yesterday or is going to be auctioned off today, as the Tavern has closed. Geeze, I cannot imagine being at this auction and the type of people who will be there. It would be quite [...]

You know what I love, right? Hot chocolate! My friend Andrea knows cause recently she sent me a box filled with all kinds of hot chocolate mixes. Look at this most beautiful thing I made a few nights ago, with some of the hot choc she sent me and my chocolate liqueur I got in [...]

I think I’m ready for spring now. This is the Shake Shack, and what it looks like in the winter, when you don’t have gobs of people willing to stand in an hour + line for a burger and a shake, no matter how good it is. I should take advantage of this lack of [...]

When I bought a pint of Bent Spoon ice cream at the New Amsterdam Market last month, they handled me a brown paper bag with a weird shaped container inside. I remember thinking it wasn’t the usual shape for a pint of ice cream but I just threw it in the freezer, with bag, when [...]

You can get anything in New York. The best lobster roll from Maine? In the East Village, baby. That’s why I live here. Yep, Luke’s Lobster. I’ve had Luke’s once before at the New Amsterdam Market, but I’ve been dying to go to their little food shop on 7th stree. I went my friend Lucy [...]

I believe this is the last of the City Mitten: Abby V edition, but the picture goes with a story. If you’ve read this blog for longer than two weeks, you know that I spend a lot of time in Long Island City, Queens, because two of my best friends live there. Well one time, [...]

Abby may be gone but I still have a few things from our weekend to blog about. One is Cafe Colonial, a Brazilian restaurant on Houston that we went to after deciding to forgo the insane wait at Clinton Street Baking Company. (But I WILL go there one day!) Abby got the traditional Brazilian breakfast: [...]

Abby is Greek. I like Greek food (study abroad, what?). We are great friends. When I first moved to the city, Abby visited me and we went to Astoria to meet up with her Greek friend and he took us to a fabulous restaurant where we ordered what felt like the entire menu. Yesterday we [...]

Happy New Year from me and Miss Abby V.! She came back with me from Detroit for New Year’s and our night turned out pretty okay. We spent the whole day yesterday shopping and then made our way to a blackjack party in Brooklyn to ring in the New Year but there was really no [...]
