My First Love Affair...

is still continuing and it's with a city- Manhattan.

I've been to 9 different countries and a bunch of different cities and yet one city still remains my favorite. It is a City that is known to me as The City. So many shows, movies etc. are based here and it's where, at least in my opinion, dreams come true. It's the only place in the world where you can be in Italy and China at the same time (thanks of course to the proximity of Little Italy and Chinatown), there's great museums and restaurants and nightlife and SHOPPING, oh the shopping. I love shopping almost as much as I love food and chocolate, so for me living in New York has always been a luxury.

Of course the other cities are nice too, they just aren't My City.

Midtown Lunch

Working in Rockefeller center allows me to eat really well for really cheap (well NYC cheap) two days a week-- its amazing! 

A blog- Midtown Lunch-  has made the process of determining my Wednesday and Friday lunch selection much easier--they go to different places in the midtown area and then review them on their blog. This site is sooo cool!! One week, in October they reviewed all the Halal/Kebob places in Midtown and compared all the chicken and rice dishes you could get. It's cool, fun to read and just interesting. 

Of course most days I'm swamped with work (and always afraid I'll run into Magnolia or Crumbs for a cupcake) so I just end up eating Chipotle, which is delicious in it's own way, although not as adventurous.
