Feasting at Freemans

Gerald and I had a crazy lunch at Freeman's. It was great and very filling.
The sandwich was great, the artichoke dip was amazing and these bacon-
wrapped dates filled with gorgonzola, were insane to say the least!!

My Giant Big Screen

This is my new desk at work. It's the crazy huge 30" display,
it's great for designing magazine layouts =) The office is super fun
with stuff all over the place, quite creative and always busling!

Café Habana to Go: A Local Treat

On my way home I stopped by my favourite corner in New York,
Prince and Elizabeth....home of Café Habana. Next door they have
a "to go" spot, a smaller mini resto that serves a similar menu but
more quickly for people on the go! It's the perfect spot to grab
something to bring home.

My New Favourite Lunch

At lunchtime I asked my new their recommendations on lunch spots,
and they pointed me to a little japanese market hidden away in Soho,
called Sunrise. It's great, it's a full on japanese grocery store with tons
of things from produce, household amenities, to cute candy! They have
pre-made food to go and also serve up hot udon and soba in the back,
that you can eat there or take to go! ... sugoi, desho!

Rainy Days

It was pouring rain when I got up and started getting ready for my first
day of work. (which kind of ruined my pre-planned-first-day-outfit =)
I arrived at the office at 9am, trying to be punctual and eager. Of course
there was not even a light on, place lay dormant until well after 930am...
it wasn't until about 10:30-11am when people started rolling in... nice!
waiting, I enjoyed a warm cappucino inside cozy Dean & Deluca's, and
watched out the window people out the window.

First Day in the City

It's the first day of my new life in the big NYC. Today was a lovely
Sunday, beautiful weather, crisp winter air... a great day to walk
around and people watch. I strolled through Soho and got aquainted
with my new route to work. It's only about a ten minute walk to work!
I then got familar with my "new" hood, the Village, it's such a great
neighbourhood, full of italian deli's and resto's and even a small street
that reminded me of our village in northern italy, Cornalea... similar,
but of course not the same.

My New (temporary) Home

I'm staying at Monika's place in the Village. It's so cute and cozy! I love it!
I only hope I'm as lucky finding a place.
