Daytime Playtime in KTown @ Maru NYC + Tous Les Jours

On Saturday, Allan and I had a fantastic day shopping and smooching around Herald Square, 34th street area near Korean Town. We went to a few places but ended up at Zara and Uniqlo, the two stores we love to frequent for our basic wardrobe needs. After dashing around for the best deals, we got super hungry and we strolled over to Maru for a loungy Asian fusion dinner. For dessert, we got pastries from our favorite French-Asian patisserie, Tous Le Jours. I always love spending the day in Korea Town :)

ABC Kitchen - Easy as 123

Remember my handsome, fabulous, and super smart friend Jon? Well Mr. Smarty pants and I went on a little dinner date to ABC Kitchen located on east 18th street between Broadway, and South Park Avenue in New York City. This restaurant is one of roughly over 6,000 restaurants opened around the world by world renown French chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who resides in NYC. This delightful gem is a magnet for the "chic crowd of fashionable movers and shakers" like Patrick Demarchelier and Hugh Jackman.

So good, we'll eat off their carpet

ABC kitchen prides themselves on being an "aggressively green" Restaurant similar to the Blue Hill Restaurant, who get's all their ingredients from their own organic farms.

"Everything here is: Fair trade! Globally artistic! Reclaimed and recycled! Soy-based! Post-consumer fiber!...The notion of the place is haute organic and Hamptons sustainable. The restaurant is airy and open and relaxed the way the second homes of the wealthy often are, with LED-style lighting over warm floors. Ingredients for the cooking, as a position paper on the back of the chic cardboard menu declares, are “consciously sourced.” The breadbaskets were “handcrafted by the indigenous Mapuche people of Patagonia.” On ABC Kitchen-NY Times

Food Pilgrimage- Lunch @ The NoMad Hotel NYC

Last year, the most eagerly anticipated hotel opened up in the Flatiron district in Chelsea called The NoMad Hotel. The name alludes to the popularity of the "food pilgrimage" around the triangular shaped area right above Madison Square park. Right above the park, one can find rows of food trucks in the triangle square during the summer. Around the square are popular restaurants like Shake Shake in the Park, Eataly, and Eleven Madison Park. Steph (weffieweffers) and I decided to ball out a little, and have a naughty long lunch to make the week feel brighter.
