translate: 'i found love on the Internet'
'....isnt it ironic....dont you think....'

now that's ironic.

moving on...
yesterday was valentines day ( just in case no one rubbed it in you face and you forgot),
so the three of us went to cafe habana and had some yummy food&drinks.
we walked up and down Manhattan like mad people, but ended up running into
a very pleasant surprise.




it was during the of course last night that i finally found it!
a super secret insiders dining stop that i'd been hearing about!

though i've debated whether or not to disclose the location, lets just say it's 'a sleekly restored diner car doubles as a taqueria and a front for one of the city's most stylish dining destinations. Behind the door marked "Employees Only," down the stairs and through the bowels of the kitchen, lies a gothic vault ornamented with wrought iron gates and dripping candelabras. Clusters of fashion and music types, outfitted in their best dungeon glam, augment the allure. Thankfully the unique space doesn't outshine the food, influenced by consultant Richard Ampudia of nearby Cafe Habana. Every step pleases, from skillfully balanced seviches to authentically styled tacos and the generously flavored mains.' -cs

Word on the street is that is it super hard to get reservations here and ends up boiling down to 'who you know'.
the fact that this is such an insider thing elevates my desire to eat there.
better said this is something exclusive.

i must be a part of it!!!

i feel l must share yet another treasure i encountered in my adventure to the laundry mat the other night.
as my clothes washed and the dramatic Spanish speaking soap opera played, i decided to try my luck in a
claw machine.

there i saw behind the glass a beautiful little max doll that had my name written all over it.
i was confident i could snatch him and 2 1/2 goes later...
taaaaa daaahhh!
mine!

swwweeeet victory!

today i'm wondering if i should ride a bike or not.
mmmm i think i'll just do it!
maybe.
ahh.
no.
yes.
dunno.

tho,
-i feel great-
now that's irony.
