It's a fact that the 4th of July is totally tacky. I'm pretty sure it is common knowledge that nobody EVER wants to wear a flag/stars and stripes unless you're in the backyard of a frat house at a state school, where theres a blow up kiddy pool and bucket of Andre to bob from. But the weirdest part about this tacky holiday is that I totally like to embrace it. And with this Fourth of July shopping guide, I will give you the tools you need to build a Fourth of July wardrobe that will not disappoint. Feast your eyes . . .
This Thirsty Thursday, cool down underground at Fedora. The drinks are true works of art, cocktails starting at $14. Check out the menu and take your time because each and every one has something different to offer. The MMM...It Does Go Well With Chicken is actually really really delicious, just saying the name with full confidence is the first step, then the rest is easy. I also suggest the Songbird and Cousins & Barbecue. See you there lovas . . .
For someone who loves food so much, I tend to accidentally make the choice to eat the most fattening and unhealthy of the options on a menu. So when someone mentioned to me that there was such a thing as Healthy Fats, I instantly asked where I can go to get these. Fat? that's healthy? Sign me up. Enter avocados. Avocados, having come from CA, are my fruit of life, and can easily substitute for a meal, with a small dash of lemon juice, some chili pepper powder, olive oil, and some light parmesan cheese. They act as a filling and healthy choice for sustenance. But take this a step further, and meet one of my most favorite food trends: Avocado Toast. Though it is one of the easiest things to make in your own kitchen, there is something about the way restaurants prepare and make avo-toast (this is the hip lingo just so you know when ordering). So I have rounded up some of the bests in NYC. Take a gander... This bag's contents are all about staying fresh and fired-up, inside and out. Whether its writing down your daily tasks or knocking back some detox elixir, staying energized within is as important as having statement making nails.
Is it Tuesday again already? Take your Taco Tuesday party bus all the way to Tacombi (a taqueria where there actually is a VW Bus inside the warehouse). As a fully open warehouse, this restaurant is like an inner patio, with deck chairs and tables to eat at, a bar of delicious and amazing Horchata flavors and other specialty drinks, and as mentioned above, a VW van where all of the tacos are made. Before even looking at the menu, I strongly recommend starting with the guac...because it is amazing (sprinkled with parmesan cheese and served with homemade tortilla chips) and the move on to two tacos. Two is all you really need because each comes with a load amount of stuffings and two corn tortillas, which an expert merges and makes into two tacos. But I can't tell you what to do because Taco Tuesday is all about doing what YOU WANT. Go forth and have a very merry Taco Tuesday. |
