menu pages

incase you haven't already discovered it....menupages.com is the BEST site to find ALLLL the restaurants in new york from booshie upscale exclusive spots to the tiny ghetto ass holes in the wall. it's the number 1 resource to dining in nyc. all listings have contact numbers, addresses, reviews and most importantly....MENUS!
so when having moved to LA...i find that most ppl use yelp...which isn't all THAT usefull. so i came up with the idea of doing a menupages for LA! GENIUS right? umm...not so much. after discussing it with a friend....he said the first thing i have to do is research for competition to see what is out there right now. low and behold...the first thing i find that's related to menupages.com is "losangeles.menupages.com" as it turns out....i'm not a genius. great marge...there goes that idea.

menupages.com


losangeles.menupages.com


but keep in mind...losangeles menupages isn't HALF as extensive as the new york one is...there were some restaurants off the top of my head i searched for that came up with no results... tsk tsk.

my new baby...

she's soooo cuuuuute!



my brand new 2008 mini cooper s. so perfect and beautiful.
i'm so in love. as everyone says driving is a bitch here...it's still pretty fun for me. I can deal with it for now...i actually get excited when i get to drive my car. ppl give it a year at most though...before i get sick of it. I dont doubt them...but i'm enjoying it...while the "enjoyment" lasts.

i just hope i don't regret moving over here. I'll give la it 2-4 years ...then i'm def heading back to new york. i'm sooooo not a cali girl. ppl here are too damn chill....meaning SLOWWWW. it takes me 15 mins to get my coffee in the morning...just in line!!! the starbucks on 4th ave and 8th in cooper square in the morning is a f*king machine....i'm always in and out in the matter of seconds. ok...slight exaggeration...but common...you and i both know that new yorkers are just always on the go....time is money people!

well..enough bitching....at least i got myself a sweet ride....right? =)

me moving to LA

so my last sunny sunday afternoon in new york...(for a while at least) my buddy jelsen, another fellow friend Rodney and myself decided to get an early start to the day and went to see an exhitbit at the oh so beautiful Guggenheim. It was my first time there (this day was full of firsts...and lasts...for that matter) ....unfortunately it was still under construction so I still haven't had a chance to see it at full aesthetic capacity. booooo.
anyway....the exhibit was amazing. i would highly recommend it.



after it was such a beautiful day that we decided to walk through the park where i experienced my first and last "nuts4nuts" i never knew they were sooo damn delicious! if i had known...i would've bought them every time i had a chance!



That's Jelsen talking to his beautiful soon-to-be wife B. =)



this awesome band was playing at the park...it was the first time i actually bought a cd from random performers. (which actually turned out to be a mistake....things are never the same when it's not live)

after walking what seemed like 15 gazillion miles. we finally picked a spot for bunch.





it was the perfect end to a perfect sunday afternoon. couldn't have asked for anything more from my last sunday.
