Breakfast at
BUVETTE.
Croque Madame followed by think, rich, whipped cream covered chocolate mousse.
Chocolate In The Village
The second chocolate shoppe that called out to me was Royces. Japanese chocolate. Who’da thunk? I will think now I tell you. The milk chocolate bar was amazing. Melt in your mouth smooth. I wasn’t so thrilled with the marshmallow chocolates. The champagne chocolate was pretty good, but the best were the cookie wafers… mmm mmm good
Dance Dance Dance, Choreography, oh Yeah!!!
Gemma Bond at The Joyce.
I hit The Ballet Festival this year.. for me it was three glorious nights of visual excellence.
And I would have to say that I enjoyed Gemma Bond as much as I enjoyed Jewels and The new Taming of The Shrew performed by The Bolshoi at Lincoln Center.
BEST BURGER!!!!
Minetta Tavern is a meat lovers dream, A burger renowned across the city. Located blocks from Washington Square Park…. By far the most expensive meal I ever paid for but worth it to see my kids happy.. And the steak tartare – nothing will ever come close. We had a steak for two the size of a house accompanied by the best bone marrow and shallot ever. After dinner we enjoyed a soufflé of chocolate yumminess. I have never been so full. Nor happy.
Italian on 53rd
When looking for a place to eat I sometimes just have a direction.. Tonight I wanted to see what we could find on 53rd Street. I was here a few months ago and between 2nd and 3rd Avenue this street is packed with restaurants, and an Insomnia cookie. After reviewing a few menus we selected Angelo Bellini. It was very good. I had a fabulous Cosmopolitan from the bar which left me a bit stupid, and a delicious Veal Marsala… I couldn’t finish it. The bread was good, a bit of olive oil and cheese.. voila, Im a happy camper.

Marie Belle Chocolate
484 Broome Street
And Its all about the box. The chocolate are very good and really beautiful, but you actually need to pay for that box. The place has rules. They will sell you a maximum of 2 chocolates at $2.50 apiece, If you want more, You need to buy the box. At Marie Belle the box is the “concept”.
Do the Math.. 4 chocolates at $2.50 each cost $10. But if you want to buy 4 Chocolate you will need to purchase a box of 4 for $20.
Needless to say this did not sit well with me and after speaking to the young manager who refused to give me his name, nor did he seem to know the words “I’m very sorry” , I eventually walked out with a free $45 box of chocolates. Don’t ask. And yes, that would be $40 worth of chocolate and a $5 box! I will go back, to try the hot chocolate. I hear it is great… I may bring back my box and see what they do? hehehehehe
Teuscher’s Chocolate
At about $4.75 a bite I thought it was crazy but went in to buy for a friend. Then I tasted a sample. It took a moment but it was $6.25 worth of pleasure. “Teuscher’s” I was dreaming the name in my sleep.
HIDE CHAN
We stumbled across this little noodle shop (HIDE CHAN 248 east 52nd street.) on our way home one afternoon. Though the noodles were good and the 2nd floor shop with 7 tables charming, what stood out were the edamame. Cooked in garlic, butter and soy….
