HELLO FRESH…

HELLOFRESH1

So much romance can be achieved with a home-cooked meal. Soft music in the background, candles are lit, the lights are dimmed and you’re in your most lovely dress.  And he arrives looking handsome with a nice bottle of wine.

Have I set the mood?

Hello Fresh is a delivery service that brings you all the ingredients for your home-cooked meal. They will also provide the recipe you selected.  Romance made easy.

How lovely is that? 

Love,
Rose

 

Fourth of July…

Hurricane Arthur has come and gone. Here in beautiful Cape May, New Jersey (at the Inn of Cape May), the sun has returned as well as the crowds.

Hope everyone gets treated to a spectacular fireworks display on Friday night, setting the stage for what will hopefully be a beautiful Summer weekend ahead.

Ongoing wishes for a great and lovely Fourth of July.

Love,

Rose

POP-UP STORES…

2014KELLOGGS POP-UP 6.26.14

A Kellogg’s Cereal And Milk Pop-up store. New York City is filled with these type of stores. Most of them are for a limited time only. This one is treating yourself to a huge bowl of cereal and filling it with all kinds of Flavor Boosts. It’s neat to be a part of New York City Pop-up’s. Be sure to try them as you make your way through the streets of New York City. 

How  lovely.

Frankenfood…

  2014 eclair3 

As I was strolling down Broadway last week, there were numerous food trucks that lined the streets. I came across a Frankenfood truck.  Only in New York City, can you find A Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog With Cheez-It Sauce In A Chocolate Eclair Bun. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. 

We should always experiment with different things.  Even when they don’t look appealing. I’m glad I did.

Love,

Hell’s Kitchen…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The last few weeks we have been exploring Ninth Avenue in New York City.  This specific area in Midtown is known as Hell’s Kitchen.  Hell’s Kitchen generally refers to the area from 37th to 57th Streets.

There are numerous restaurants and the sidewalks are crowded with many diverse people. This is New York City. And that’s what makes it the best City in the world.

While we were exploring, we went and had dinner at an italian restaurant called PietraSanta. We ordered a capellini dish with fresh vegetables and marinara sauce. It was delicious. The place is small and intimate and the décor was romantic. The service was very attentive. 

It was a lovely evening.

Love,

FASHION IN NEW YORK CITY…

The fashion event of the year is here! Tonight, celebrities from the worlds of fashion, film, society, sports, art, and music will gather for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit. This year’s gala celebrates the opening of the Anna Wintour Costume Center and the exhibition Charles James: Beyond Fashion (on view from May 8 through August 10).

 If you’re traveling to the New York City area please visit the Anna Wintour Costume Center. It’ll be the most lovely experience you’ll have.

 It’s Fashion And It’s New York City. Isn’t that lovely?

SPRING FRESH…

SPRING FRESH...

I seem to love every season of the year.  But, Spring is at the top of my list.  The flowers start to bloom from the ground and the leaves start to bud on the trees.  There is a freshness in the air.  You can just feel it wherever you go.

The Spring season is just lovely.

Love,
Rose

Oh, So Good…

Five Pennies Creamery

One of my favorite things to do, whether I’m on vacation or in town, is to patronize a local ice cream parlor.  I love walking into these quaint little stores with the owner there to greet us. It’s a warm and inviting feeling and I feel as if I’m part of the community.  It couldn’t be more lovely.

One of my favorites is Five Pennies Creamery. They are the best home-made ice cream parlor!  My favorite flavor is the French Pastry Cheesecake. Top it with hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry…Amazing.

Wherever you may live, let’s help our local small businesses with being a repeat customer.  It may be freezing outside, but I love this place!

Love,
Rose
