Living for the Moment: the big apple babyyyyyyyyyyy

This past weekend I made a trip to the BIG APPLE aka New York City! I went last year the exact same weekend. Sooo with that being said...I didn't take very many pictures on Round 2. I saw pretty much the same things I saw last year :( it's probably because I went with my aunt and cousin again. My aunt was sick, she's even in the hospital at this very moment :( she's been there since the day Tuesday a few hours after we landed from NYC. The reason we went was because my cousin is a Cosmetologist and she was taking a color test at the Redken Exchange on 5th Ave. to become an educator IF she wanted to. We went last summer for the same reason, but she was unable to take the test due to the fact she broken her ankle pretty seriously earlier last year, but we had already bought out plane tix so we went anyways. So since last yr no one was sick or busy we did all the sight seeing! This year on the other hand was a little different. Yes, of course I still got some shopping done. I wouldn't be me if I didn't lol. AND of course I did some eating :) so I have plenty of foodie pix. I also got to see Cirque De Soliel's Zarkana @ Radio City Music Hall in the 15th row w/ my buddy & future MD ALI :) yayyyy!!

This was just a cute shop we passed on our way into the city of Laguardia

A random st during sunset

Carmine's Family Style Italian Rest. BEST BARTENDER FRED!! He gave us some awesome recommendations food and bar wise! He also makes some bomdiggity Sangria :)

Stuffed Artichoke for the appetizer. $17.50

The place!

Fred the MAN!

Total cost w/drinks+tip=$150.00

Yes, It was a bit pricey, but it was a yummy meal we didn't even finish half of it. We would definitely go back & it's NYC everything is more expensive.

My cousin, My aunt, and myself

Just a pretty centerpiece :)

My fave flower + a gorgeous color = PURE LOVE

French Toast OMG orgasm in your mouth!

Chicken sandwich w/pesto :/ I can't remember I ate half it was good, but not ahhhmazing

My cousin was brave and went out her realm with the Ahi Tuna Burger. It was a little too raw for her, but she did a great job! I was proud lol

My cousin LOVES dessert more than actual meals so she got some bread pudding.

I forgot the name of this super cute cafe. I'll have to check my bank statement, but the meal+drinks(non-alcohlic)+tip = $60.00

I finally saw the naked cowboy!! AHHHH lol I searched for him last summer and didn't find him

Ali and I

A few of the Characters. They walked around the orchestra pit for like an hour before the show! It was so awesome, but sadly most of the pix are on my cell phone :(

Ali & his fave character

One of the musicians and myself

Salad de Avacado..not what I was expecting at all

Chicken Tortilla Soup...blahhhhhhh in a bowl. All I had was the broth

The typical Colombian dish..awesome rice, beans, steak, an egg, sausage, and some other thing we didn't know what it was

Nachos

The place we ate the above meal at. The people were nice, but the food was sub par, I would recommend NOT going there for food or drinks since they put salt INTO the margaritas, who does that??

The bill $70 with tip.

The place turns into a salsa club after midnight on weekends that I DO recommend
