I am thrilled it is Friday and I’m looking forward to a very happy weekend! My plans for this weekend include sleeping in, watching a movie or two, painting my nails, raising money for Wishing Well through our Kappa Kappa Gamma event, and hopefully once and for all fight off this sickness that has been keeping me up at night! I hope each and every one of you have a happy relaxing weekend.
After all our running around at the show, we had to recharge to go back the next day! And there is no better place to recharge than New York because they have the best restaurants. We left each restaurant feeling so stuffed. Almost to the point of being uncomfortable. But, it was totally worth it (especially for this college student who is used to cafeteria food)!
Shake Shack and Pinkberry
This was Oscar Night. When we left the show that day, we had exactly 15 minutes to make it back to the hotel just in time for the Red Carpet. And we booked it to make it back with two minutes to spare! Thank goodness…I didn’t want to miss a second. And my wonderful sister offered to be our pick up and delivery girl for the night. She went out twice for my mom and I. The first time for Shake Shack burgers, which are so unbelievably delicious, and the second time for Pinkberry. Isn’t she just the best?
What we ordered:
Three cheeseburgers
A Hotdog to share
Fries
Chocolate Hazelnut frozen yogurt, chocolate shavings, raspberries, blueberries
Sfoglia
We knew we had to go to Sfoglia because this restaurant was one of our favorites on Nantucket. The restaurant actually began on Nantucket, but then closed and moved to their NYC location (BOOOO!). We missed it terribly, especially the bread, so we made sure to walk down memory lane by eating our favorite dishes here.
What we ordered:
Cheese plate
Pappardelle alla bolognese
Ricotta gnocchi, spicy pork shoulder, leeks, tomato
Chicken al mattone
ABC Kitchen
If you are in New York, you have to make sure you come to this restaurant for dinner one night! From the atmosphere to the plates on the table and of course to all the food, everything was divine. And the restaurant is an addition off of the store, ABC Carpet & Home, so be sure to stop in there too! They had so many unique finds. I was just in love with this place.
What we ordered:
Housemade ricotta, fig compote, grilled bread
Pretzel dusted calamari, marinara and mustard aioli
Roasted butternut squash, hazelnuts, goat cheese and spicy onions
Mushroom, parmesan, oregano, and farm egg pizza
Kasha and bowtie pasta, veal meatballs
Whole wheat cavatelli, rabbit ragu, pecorino
Brussel sprouts with mustard vinaigrette
Donutplant
I am a sucker for donuts. Seriously, it is so hard for me to say no. I can say no to cupcakes, cake, cookies, and just about anything else, but donuts are a weakness for me. And this place had a peanut butter and jelly one…I nearly fainted just at the sight of it.
All of the food was so so yummy and my mouth is watering just thinking about eating the food. I can’t wait for my next visit to NYC so I can try more restaurants!
Yep. I caved. I am now the proud owner of Cindy Crawford’s skin care line.
Sidenote: I had seen the Meaningful Beauty infomercial many times before and was strong not to pick up the phone right away and call, but they got me this time.
A couple months ago, Caroline and I ran into Cindy at the Malibu Lumber Yard. She took our breath away. Her skin is perfection. She was glowing. I hope to I get the same results. Fingers crossed.
This is just another job of an actor. You always have to be camera ready because you never know when your big break might come! This goes along with the whole marketing idea of creating the perfect package for your product.
I know I live in Beverly Hills now, and there is probably a faster way to fix those wrinkles that are starting to form on my forehead…. BUT I am doing everything I can to stay away from BH’s “drug” of choice – Botox!
This is what sold me. Watch below…
