Love what they did in New York where you can now use the bike to go around!! Sponsored by Citibank!
Economical, green, anti pollution, healthy and practical!
I am so glad Jaime took it for a day – he is very independent so he just travels around the city – usually the bus or underground- but I prefer this 🙂
I saw the same thing in London!

We were so happy to meet up with Raul, cousin of James! He was also in the USA helping his daughter settle down for school. We accompanied him to buy the mattress which Mia wanted. So Raul came from Brooklyn and we met up. Mia wanted a specific mattress – futon – which was available only in Miya Shoji in New York!

The shop really sells furniture- Japanese chests, tatami and tables and Japanese screens.
Happy to meet the owners- Father Hisao and son Zui. Miya Shoji means temple carpenter so they make furniture using the old Japanese way without any nails! They assemble the furniture without nails
Petrified Wood Coffee table US$ 12,000
If I am not mistaken this is a 300 year old stone – US$ 8,000 for this one!
US$ 80,000 for this beautiful table
More beautiful pieces of wood ready to be made into furniture
Futon is just an accessory they sell with the tatami. Papa Raul happy to grant the request of Mia and make sure she sleeps comfortably 🙂

We discovered this new way to travel within Manhattan. Since we usually take taxi cabs, we noticed that it is getting harder to hire a cab in the city and each cab has different conditions – with aircon, without, friendly cab driver, unfriendly cab driver etc etc. We tried UBER to see and compare. First is to download the App in your phone
Click on it and it will show where you are and the UBER cars roaming near you. You can even choose your type of car depending on your budget and requirements
We chose Black car and it says how long till the car will get to you approximately
Here is the actual test that we did and it even showed who your driver is and plate number
Here it is 🙂 It is a little more expensive than the yellow cabs but the car is much much better, the ride is safe and comfortable and more pleasant

I saw this in Facebook and wondering if it is the same service

We were so happy to meet up with the New Yorkers 🙂 Jerome chose the place and so we met up at Foragers. On the ground floor of the hotel is a wine shop, grocery and restaurant
The trend now is really from Farm to Fork or from Farm to Table 🙂
Super nice, smart and handsome New York bachelor – Jerome
Super pretty New York Real Estate Broker – Samantha
Super sweet New York couple – Caloy and Ria
Another trendy dish – Porchetta

While we were lining up across the street at Halal Guys, we saw this line which was much much longer circling the whole block! So while James was lining up I decided to go and ask what the line was about
Apparently it was for the Museum of Modern Art ( MOMA )
It’s call the Uniqlo Free Friday Nights – You can enter the MOMA for free from 4pm to 8 pm on Fridays
Free entrance means long lines and very busy museum 🙂 We only went inside the lobby to check it out and decided not to enter anymore because there were a lot of people
As we were walking back home, we passed the back of the Museum and just took a peek 🙂
Found a photo of James from 1998 with the same car but not on the wall

Our first dinner in New York! Jaime had his list with him and this was one of them. It was hard to get a reservation since they were fully booked and you need to reserve a month in advance!! So we tried to be creative and we asked the help of the American Express Concierge and they were able to get us a table at 5:30pm. We took it immediately and were actually glad since we are used to 6 to 630pm dinner time 🙂
Love the interiors of the restaurant!
I like the drapes leading to the kitchen!
Everything in the restaurant is Italian including all the servers and I love their outfits!
OH MY GOSH!!! Parmesan Cheese!!! They give this compliments on your bread plate
Even the dinnerware is Italian – Richard Ginori – I know this from my Grandmother who loved the brand
More complimentary antipasto- Soooo good!!!
and more!!! This bread was amazing!!!
CLOSE UP!!! SUPER YUM!! It’s called Grandmas’s bread which is a foccacia with all these yummy things on top!!
We will wait till you open your restaurant one day, whether it be in Manila or anywhere in the world!!! We will definitely visit you! 🙂
The foodie ordering our dinner. He knows already what is good, so we leave it up to him to order
Everything we had was perfect and so delicious!!!!! The best Italian meal we have ever had in New York!!!
Octopus Pizzaiolo – I don’t normally eat Octopus but this was amazing!!!!
Vongole from our friend in the kitchen 🙂 Yum!! A bit spicy but yum! 🙂 At this point, we were already very satisfied and full but food kept coming out!! And we continued to eat and eat because it was really good
We did not order Ceasar Salad but this is where they make it – they do it on the spot in front of you 🙂
What do you think this is for?
Nope! Not pizza but for the Veal Parmesan!!!!
Oh my gosh!!! This is so so good!! The grilled corn sidings!! It had shaved truffles on top and the corn was just amazing!!!
As I entered I noticed this tray and immediately took a photo!! It was a work of Art just looking at it!!
They gave us one of each!!!!!!! We tried all!!
This was a carrot cake which was my favorite and I loved the shape! It’s not the usual round carrot cake!
All the other desserts were very good!!
Biscotti to end which was also very very good!!! Took a bite and took the rest home! And even three days after it was still very very good!!
They own three other restaurants in New York!! Hoping to try them next time, but definitely will be back in Carbone – now officially one of our favorite restaurants in New York!! Thank you to Alec and the whole Carbone restaurant for a dinner we will remember forever!!
