A invitation for a birthday lunch in the Financial District is a great way to make me smile.

The openers: Valet parking is $15. The entryway is small - so if the hostess tells you there is a brief wait for your table, sit at the bar.  

They started…More »

I love the set up of this great stand in the co-op at the 331 Cortland Avenue Address.

The spices are brilliantly put into test tubes with cork stoppers so you can see and smell the individual spices. I love the variety of sea salts she carries. I…More »

What is not to love about Hawaii? Aside from the lush, natural beauty of the land, the fragrant scent of the air, and the weather that begs you to wear skimpy clothing - I really love and miss the food, the people, and the warm Aloha spirit.…More »

This "mom and pop shop" in a small town has more appeal to me than the usual suspects in the city. Know why? Because after you have a couple of 5 lb sammiches with jalapeno poppers and onion rings, you start to realize you are a fat ass and all that…More »

Time for Tea! (2)

I love to tea. I love how relaxing it is. I love to drink delicious tea while nibbling on perfect little bites passing the afternoon away.

Savoring each sip, each bite, in the company of ladies.

Learn the distinguishable differences between high tea and afternoon tea: http://en.wikipedia.or...

Sugar, Sugar (26)

Candy makes me happy. Sugary, fatty, carby sweets make me happy. I don't just have a sweet tooth, I have a mouth full of sweet teeth! A little something sweet always makes me happy. Nothing thrills me more than to be given a box of something sweet! Here are the places that have ticked my sweet teeth and made me smile.

Spotlight On Places That Make Life Easier (17)

These are the places that make life easier. They are the unsung heros because they are not a restaurant, they rarely get the attention they deserve. Enjoy the spotlight!

ROTD LOVE. . . It's really fabulous! (14)

Ok promise not to laugh. Hey, no laughing! These ROTD's (Review Of The Day) are prized gems . . . like my girl scout sash full of badges when I was small. I love how Yelp and my Yelp friends appreciate my quirkiness by reading my reviews and celebrate it along with me through each Review Of The Day! Thanks so much everyone! I just love my Yelp friends!

I love ROTD's, I do! ROTD's are faaaaabulous! Ok. . . you can laugh now.

Fabulously Yelp! (24)

I always say I love to have Yelp friends 'cause it makes Yelp  "FUNNER" - here are the good times I have had with fellow Yelpers. . . with many more to come!

Leisurely Lunch (4)

It's nice to have an afternoon weekday date that includes a lunch where you linger, enjoying great company, great food, and great cocktails. Here are the places I had a lovely leisurely lunch. . . savoring the afternoon. Skyrockets in flight. . . afternoon delight. . . .a-a-afternoon delight!

Hangar One Vodka Served Here (29)

I love Hangar One. . . I drink it EXCLUSIVELY. Here are the establishments that wet my whistle with the delicious hand made local vodka that makes my taste buds sing. Hangar One Straight Vodka Martini. . .that is my most favorite cocktail. MMMM MMMMM!

Fabulous Finds in 2012 (6)

These are the wonderful places that I experienced in 2012 that I feel should be shared so that you, too can have a reason to smile, laugh, and enjoy life!

This list bulks out as the year progresses. . .

Cheers to 2012 being the BEST YEAR YET!

Be Beautifully Faaabulous (21)

Beauty comes from within - it radiates outwards which means work on the inside and the outside equally. Life is much sweeter when you feel beautifully fabulous on the inside and the outside so go ahead - be your personal best - I dare you! ::smile::

Next Stop . . . Wine Country! (17)

Californians cannot be called winos because we live in an area that boasts an abundance of great wineries so really we are supporting businesses one glass at a time. Now how can that be considered being a "wino"? I say it is being fabulously supportive! These are the places I stop by and laze away the day with a glass of red - or just enjoy the slow pace and simple elegance of being in "Wine Country" because the only questions you are asked here: "Would you like another glass?" or "Would you like to schedule another spa treatment today?"
