A few years ago, we dined at Crabtree’s Kittle House Restaurant & Inn for the first time around Thanksgiving or Christmas (not sure which one). We had a nice dinner. A staff returned my “doggie bag” in the shape of a tinfoil swan… oh, the little things that delight me =)… We subsequently re-visited for …
Takayama Japanese Restaurant
Really consistently great japanese cuisine. We’ve dined here at least twice, but I mostly order take-out since Andrew rarely has the urge to eat japanese food. I usually request their beef udon in vegetable soap, ebi mostly sometimes amaebi, avocado cucumber rolls, and abalone rolls (if they’re luckily available). I’ve gotten too used to their …
Grappolo Locanda Restaurant
I’ve only dined here once and had a very nice birthday dinner in 2006. It was slightly expensive but well worth it. I have to give it another chance, especially since I was very preoccupied that evening with getting back home earlier to complete a graduate assignment for my Leadership & Strategies course =P. This …
Le Jardin du Roi Restaurant
I’ve dined here several times and have never been disappointed. I think next time I should sit outside for weekend brunch since I’ve only had dinners here. The staff is always very pleasant and helpful. The food of course, impeccable. I’ve always thought of this restaurant as having a dark and romantic evening ambiance. Le …
La Crémaillére Restaurant
Described in another review as “a charming country French restaurant nestled in a 1750 white clapboard farmhouse.” We ate here twice and had excellent experiences both times. Slightly expensive (though well worth it for special occasions). La Crémaillére Restaurant 46 Bedford-Banksville Road Bedford, NY 10506 914-234-9647
North Square in Manhattan
Andrew and I ate at North Square Restaurant a couple of times and liked it very much. From what I remember, the food was tasty, the price was reasonable for its quality, the staff were attentive, and the decor was beautiful. North Square Restaurant Washington Square Hotel 103 Waverly Place (at MacDougal Street) New York, …
Heart Beat USB Memory Key
I’m so excited about my new USB memory key! I received a big discount through a loyalty program. I remember yearning for this USB ever since it came out. The first time I saw it I was in Pisa, Italy. I’ll still keep my 256 MB around for just in case. The key has a …
My Lust for Guerlain
My first Guerlain purchase was in 1999. It was none other than their Meteorites =). I still love Meteorites- it is Guerlain’s yearly re-invention. Every season I try to visit the counters at Saks or Neiman Marcus. Unfortunately, my three most favorite Guerlain make-up artists have moved on (Pamela, Polenka, & Julio). Julio used to …
More Pedro Garcias
Here are some more gorgeous Pedro Garcias… If only money was no object!
Bluefly.com
I’m so mad at Bluefly.com @#%! I experienced a few problems while using their site to order a pair of shoes. It was so weird e.g. both their search bar and shopping cart weren’t working right. To make a long story short, I’m stuck with a pair of Pedro Garcia Noa Pumps- a pending order …
