If it is true what they say that how you spend NYE is how you will spend the rest of your year, well, I am certainly not complaining. At Ayza Wine and Chocolate Bar with a chocolate martini, tray of truffles, and a slice of NY cheesecake I was simply in heaven. Guess my year will be full of classy nights out, wine, and lots of chocolate!
My favorite part about New York was all the scrumptious food. I could literally eat my way through the city. I even ate a pretzel off a cart which is a pretty big deal for this germ-a-phobe. Some other notable things I ate were Cannolis from Caffe Palermo, Ladurée macarons (my favorite dessert in the world), a burger and custard ice cream at the Shake Shack, and a plate of penne vodka from La Mela in Little Italy. We knew the place was good from the Italians just chillin with a table full of empty plates. Had to do a double take when I heard in a thick accent, “Hey Joey, what’s amatta witchu? Why you look so tired? Have some espresso…” among a few other hilarious commentary.And you can’t go to NY without seeing a Broadway show. Anything Goes with Sutton Foster was delightful and had the best tap number I have ever seen in a musical, I had a smile across my face ear to ear the entire time.

Now that I am back in LA with a heat wave in January, I could not be more appreciative of my homeland. This year I have decided to take full advantage of living in LA and go on more outings. So far I went to Fresh Corn Grill in Westwood (finally!) and grocery shopped at the Farmer’s Market at the Grove. The people that work there are all fantastic I will definitely be going back to Monsieur Marcel and Papardelle, which has flavored pasta like lavender or chocolate.
And finally my resolutions I hope I keep are to drink more mineral water, learn to pair wines & cheeses, and DANCE more.
