Delicious Day

despite this and last week's heat, today was delicious. I mean delicious. My mom and I were leaving a store around the 33rd and 5th and almost walked right past Cafe M, which is in that general area. We came upon this exquisite piece of joy:


a delicious red velvet cupcake. which we shared

upon leaving with that much more joy in our tummies, i caught this shot of the empire state building.


after walking around in the sweltering heat, and then continuing on to get a pedicure with an immaculate foot massage, we were hungry again. feast your eyes:



overall it was a good day. and our tummies were satisfied, and we survived this ridiculous humid hot day.
did i mention we got AMAZING bubble tea from Crazy Bananas not too long before the red velvet cupcake?
yeah...you're jealous =)

Separated at birth?

Anyone who knows anything....(kidding) knows who Conor Oberst is. Former frontman of Desaparecidos, Bright Eyes, Commander Venus, Park Ave, flew solo, chilled with The Mystic Valley Band, and now his current project Monsters of Folk (collaboration of other indie frontmen). Oberst has been around for quite some time. Of course, he can never ever be replaced, but there is a new artist. An artist, that I think carries an uncanny resemblance and sound.

Conor J. O'Brien, frontman of Villagers, entered the scene not too long ago with the debut album " Becoming a Jackal ", also the title of Villagers' first single. Needless to say, both artists are of equal greatness, Oberst has just been around far longer.

Though, I do have one question. Were they separated at birth? Because, they have the same name, they're both Irish, their voices are slightly different but more the same. Their appearances...well...I'll let you be the judge.

Either way.
I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to see what else Mr. O'Brien graces our ears with.

Oh, Jerusalem

I passed by this little restaurant no bigger than my own bedroom and picked up a menu. The tagline said something about your body thanking you or feeling the difference. I suppose the food is supposed to be good for you. To be honest, stomach aches usually ail me in the middle of a meal after a few bites. But I kid you not when I say that no such stomach ache came during the sandwich that I ordered.

The hummus on the whole grain pita bread was so creamy and delicious. The cucumbers, tomatoes, and slices of lettuce were so crunchy and all went with the texture of spicy spiced spicy chicken pieces.

If I only had taken a camera in the midst of my feast. It was delicious.
63rd and 1st = Jerusalem Grill.
