I also forgot to mention that I finished both my online courses 2 weeks ago and I feel AMAZING.
Cannot wait to go shopping tomorrow (because I don't have to work FRIDAYS!) and for Park Avenue Summer!
Other little tidbits: I am reading my second Gabriel García Márquez novel Love in the Time of Cholera because One Hundred Years of Solitude was wonderful. I really enjoy his style.

You've Got Mail!
Okay, I realize that the iPhone does not capture the beauty of food very well but I don't care. I lovelovelove remembering what I ate so I DGAF about my crappy pictures.
Last Sunday Yolanda and I had plans for brunch and sunning in Central Park. She kept talking about how we're going to Cafe Lalo, where, little did I know, You've Got Mail was filmed. Of course I HADN'T seen the movie (I mean come on, I saw Forrest Gump and Clueless my junior and senior years of highschool, respectively) but it was a delightful brunch/patisserie. NOM. So cute and French and most importantly DELICIOUS.
Outside:
Fresh orange juice and napkin, so you can get an idea of the aura:
My steamed eggs with BRIE and mixed mushrooms, Mediterranean salad (missing the potatoes, those came later):
Oh, and I watched the movie later on at night as it happened to the only movie Yolanda actually brought with her because...SURPRISE! It's her favorite movie. Betcha didn't see that one coming!

Butter
Pictures from Butter. We sat on the first floor which is more restaurant than club. It was yummy of course.
Summer shrimp and pea raviolis:
Mussels, in a bed of spinach and everything fancy:
Oh, I also spilled one in my lap, where my napkin had slid down to my knees so I had oil/butter stains alllllll over for the REST OF THE DAY.
Raspberry caramel custard aka FLAN:
Carolina's cheese plate which was nomnomnom:

Long time, no blog!
So I've decided to save all my food pictures of restaurant week so far and make a massive post. I still have a few more to go but this is what's up.
Some Tuesday ago, I went to Rouge Tomate on the UES. Contemporary American. It was beautifully decorated and designed. A very clean, crisp ambiance. The service was excellent. There was even a bathroom attendant!
Lame pic of the downstairs area:
I had a fancy ceviche, it was nomnomnom 5/5 on this one folks, done very rare, sashimi-like in texture!
Bershire Pork Loin, omg, they cooked the pork sooooooo WELL:
Coconut tapioca with mango, jellies and fancy foam, it was really good:
Okay...so I was going to do more but I am tired and will save that for laterrrrrrr. Next is Butter.
More lists of things to blog about:
where I eat lunch
This blog might as well be called Sandy's food in NYC. Yeah....
