I finally got the pictures from our dinner at Hearth (from when my parents were visiting me in NYC), so here is a long overdue post. After eating WAY too much vegan chocolate double cake throughout my work shift, I wasn’t exactly starving as I entered Marco Canoro’s restaurant.  Still, with the numerous awards and praise that Hearth has received, I was willing to overlook my lack of appetite.  Plus, this place is within minutes of the hospital and I’ve been wanting to try it for a while.  Dining at another award winning spot with… Read more >

I can’t even put into words what this restaurant experience was like.  As their mission statement says, Del Posto creates the highest quality dining experience in what is one of the greatest indoor spaces in New York City.

Ever since I asked you all for Q&A ideas, my inbox has been flooded with your questions.   Wow.  I am loving answering them, and I’m hardly even half way through! For now, here is my answer to the easiest (and most popular) question of all (you guys are such romantics!). The story of how/where me and my beau met. Quite simply, Kyle and I met at our on-campus job at UCLA.  Not that I’m advocating inter-personnel relations, but dipping my pen in the company ink proved to be quite effective in my case 😉 He… Read more >
