What a day

This past Sunday was definitely a memorable one.

Seeing the Backstreet boys after being a fan for 13 years was something one doesn't forget. I was at the Highline Ballroom where they performed an hour long acoustic concert playing some of their most famous songs alongside with a few brand new hits. I don't care what anyone says, but they are fantastic musicians. After the show I also got to meet them, so I really couldn't ask for anything more.

After that I went to this fantastic wine bar called Caselullla. Amazing! Each cheese had its own pairing and the Argentinian white wine I picked was fantastic.
If you are ever in the Chelsea, this is a must!

I loved the goat cheese hazelnut truffles which came at the end of the meal,but also the main dessert which was Creme Fraiche Parfait with pistachios and rhubarb sauce.

The smell of summer

Last time I wrote about Daniel being in the top 10 best restaurants in the world, now I have to add that Chef Daniel Boulud won a James Beard award as the best restaurateur. We did celebrate indeed!
In the meantime, I have been really enjoying work, since I feel more comfortable with the station and the work I need to do. Of course, you are always racing the clock, but that's what's pushing me to be better and faster.
I also try to do some jogging (whenever I can get myself out of bed) and also go to different places on my days off. Oh boy, I have seen so much already, I don't even know where to start!
Here are a few snapshots of a wonderful Farmers Market I visited on 47th and 3rd. Asparagus are everywhere and summer fruits are slowly arriving. Strawberries are looking nice, but taste wise...They still need a bit more time.
I have also been going to many fantastic bars, most of them speakeasies because I love when they have a story and well thought and beautifully presented cocktails. The drink was from a lounge called Angel's Share. If you are in the East Village, make sure you make a stop!
