Expensive Meals and Great Moives!

Lovelies, the theme of this weekend was "How Much Can I Spend on a Meal?" and "What kind of fun indie/ foreign films are out there?"

Here's why:

Saturday night I went with my friend H.Co and her boyfriend to see "Elsa & Fred" at the Paris Theatre.  What a LOVELY movie!  Spanish film with English subtitles.  The plot revolves around these two seventy-something widowers who fall in love!  It was so funny & smart & classy - I loved it!  If you want a good laugh that makes you grateful for what you have this is a good movie for you!

After the movie we were looking for some bar food - what better place to find bar food than The Four Seasons Hotel?!  Seriously, people.  

It was FABULOUS!  We had exquisite (and expensive) cocktails, heavenly french fries with truffles and gravy on the top, and also the little mini-burgers with crab meat.  I was stuffed.

But the next day was British Fellow's birthday!  So to make sure he had a Happy Birthday I picked out a GREAT new restaurant that's been getting rave reviews!  It's called Scarpetta and it's in the trendy meatpacking district. 

Kind of an earthy Italian feel with food so rich it could give you gout!  Was a lovely meal complete with Barbara wine, duck foie gras ravioli and an AWESOME dessert of vanilla/chocolate puddings layered with espresso beans and hazelnuts!  Perfection my lovelies - sheer perfection.

Perhaps my classy weekend will make up for the fact that I watched the Oh-so-tacky "Celine: the Celine Dion Story" on the We channel Saturday morning....   

Forgive me.

Ain't life Good on Good Friday!

Lovelies, pardon my non-blogginess in the past few days. I actually have been less busy than usual, but more tired.... Weird.


Last night I went out with my buddy British Fellow to see "The Year My Parents Went on Vacation" at the Paris theatre. Was a LOVELY movie! Very deep, but also very charming! I enjoyed the monochromatic nature of the film and thought it evoked the prefect feeling for seeing change & turmoil through a young persons eyes.


Then we went to the Russian Tea Room after for a quick cocktail! Was super fun - I'd never been there before & I guess it's a NYC landmark! The had a great cocktail that had Vanilla Stoli and also Creme de Cacao. Was quite yummy!


Today I have an audition for My Fair Lady and then I'm going to go & work at the Pan Asian Palace and then hopefully see a Broadway show! I'm hoping to go to either In the Heights or to South Pacific! We'll see!
