Well this is what New York City has been looking like lately! There were some Christmas Carolers in Washington Square Park the other night which was really nice and cheerful for New York and also for the fact that I've been bogged down with work lately. It's nice to see a little bit of holiday cheer throughout the city, even if it sparingly. On the left are a few little decorations that I got to remind myself that it's Christmas and to be excited and enjoy the holiday season! They do cheer up our little apartment.
There is a lot of food in this post, because it just so happened that we went out to eat at new or interesting places over the last few weeks and I wanted to document them! On the left is artichoke pizza from the same-named place on MacDougal Street here in Soho. So delicious! And on the right is a croissant grilled-cheese with tomato from a little cafe around the corner from me that I just discovered, called the Little Fox Cafe. I believe it's a new place. Very charming, and extremely quiet, so when Zach and I went in to grab this special they were advertising we felt kinda strange talking while everyone was quietly studying. So, good place to study and bad place to go for socializing, I guess! Also, I went to pour some sugar into my cup of coffee I got there, and the entire lid of the sugar came off of the container and literally spilt all over the table and rendered my coffee un-drinkable! Also, our food wasn't very hot. The place is promising but all in all we didn't have a great experience there unfortunately.
My mister looking cute ;)
We also checked out AsiaDog for the first time, another place around the corner from me I've been meaning to try. They have delicious hot dogs and french fries, and it was interesting to taste the difference between hot dog joints in NYC (like, Crif Dogs is so much different, the two places just have such different tastes). Anyway, Zach got a hot dog with crumpled potato chips on top, and mine included chili and sweet onions, they were very good. Also, with the french fries we got some sort of delicious sauce that they recommended.
Eileen's Cheesecake, literally a block away from where I live, is ranked throughout the city as the best cheesecake place. This had only been the second time I had tried a mini cheesecake from there, but it was delicious. Actually, I had a raspberry, white-chocolate mousse, so not technically cheesecake but still delicious. On the right, back at home, I saw Daisy cuddling with Zach and couldn't resist a photo-op, although Zach thought otherwise.
At Spice! Can you tell we love this place? We're always here. Two words: Pad Thai.
This past weekend I was so happy to come home and find that my parents didn't get a Christmas tree yet, so I couldn't wait to go get some hot chocolate and search for the perfect tree with everyone! We actually went to a place we've never been to before because on a Saturday night at 10 PM apparently everyone was closed! Can you believe it? Anyway, the place we ended up in was really nice and had a beautiful little seating arrangement (on the left) where you could take pictures! And on the right is my mom decorating our tree, it came out lovely!
Zach looking charming under the lights while searching for a Christmas tree, and me posing with Daisy who wouldn't sit still.
On the left is the most adorable little puppy that Zach's mom is fostering for the time being. He came from a home with over 39 other huskies, because the owner was a hoarder of dogs. He is just so adorable and a really well-behaved puppy, surprisingly. And me with Daisy, on the right, because despite the fact that she is super stubborn, she still loves me :)
Also, I got my first internship! I applied for a position at the Editorialist, an online magazine for luxury accessories, went to an interview with the Features Editor, and then did some exercises via email. Then they offered me the position! I am so happy!
Once it is Thursday night, after 10 PM, I will finally be able to relax, but until then I have lots of work to do still. And even after then, I have to study for two finals...but each day that I finish another assignment, paper, or project, it feels that much better! So close, yet so far! And after this, I can't believe it, only one more semester (well, one and a half if you count a summer class..) and I cannot wait!
Melissa.
