The Foodie’s 18th birthday was prolonged with so many celebrations 🙂 This was finally the day itself and he picked a place from his list. I love trying new restaurants and Jaime is adventurous too!

It was only Me and Jaime since James was not feeling that well that evening

Exhaust 🙂 on top of each table

The foodie is adventurous – he was attracted to this restaurant because of the unique menu offering they had – read carefully below 🙂

Foie Gras Stuffed Mini kobe burger!! It was really mini 🙂 but an interesting dish!!! They poured the hot chocolate sauce on top!!

Niku Uni

Instead of ordering the regular kalbi and other grilled meats you can get in other restaurants, we got the Pot Kalbi which is a house special – it’s marinated overnight for 24 hours with their special sauce and has miso butter sauce on the side. I am not sure why it’s not in the menu on the website

Shio Tan – Tongue. We wanted the special tongue to try something different but they were out of it

The birthday boy chose the dessert! Why Choose? “I’ll have it with the works”! YUM!

Visiting Jerome in New York

By Heart2Heart | Homes and Interiors, Travel | 2 Comments

We were so happy we had time to spend with Jerome! And I made sure we visited his new flat which he is renting in the meantime he is looking for his permanent flat. On one side of the building Jerome told me that they have outdoor movies for the residents

And on the other side is the pool area

Cool fan by the lobby:-)

Lighted reception and hallways

Mail room

This monitor tells you if your unit has a package! High tech!

Here we are 🙂 Jerome is a bachelor but he got a two bedroom because almost every month he has a family or friend visiting! 🙂

From his window he can see his office building so he lives close by 🙂

Jerome is so neat and organized!!!

His books up close 🙂

Laundry inside the closet

Guest room which Jerome is still fixing up

Jerome’s room! 🙂

On the way out, Jerome showed me their garbage disposal room – even this is computerised!

Before throwing your garbage you have to push some buttons so it goes to the right chute

West Side Highway

By Heart2Heart | Real Estate, Travel | No Comments

Driving down from New Jersey back to Manhattan, our driver passed the West Side Highway and I am glad I was able to capture some interesting buildings. It was a nice drive seeing all these structures. I later on told Jerome about it and I asked his help to tell me what buildings they were

An apartment complex on Riverside Boulevard in the Upper West Side that Donald Trump and a few others developed for Luxury Condo sales and rentals

100 11th Avenue (a luxury apartment building designed by French starchitect, Jean Novel) on the left and the IAC headquarters on the right (designed by another starchitect, Frank Gehry).

The Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking district. It’s notorious because of the big and very transparent windows that have provided many free peep shows to any passerby.

The James Hotel in Soho. It has a nice rooftop bar

The Perry Street Towers designed by Starchitect, Richard Meier. Jean Georges Vongerichten, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman all have units here. It also houses Jean Georges’ restaurant- Perry Street

Royce and Lady M by Ken Romaniszyn

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Great Achievements, Travel | One Comment

We received news from the two lovely sisters Faith and Ana that Ken’s new branch in Bryant Park was opening!!! That was why we went to Bryant Park 🙂 We were happy to be in New York at that time and glad to send good wishes

Store front

The guy behind Royce USA, Ken Romaniszyn! We were so glad to bump into him there! I was really hoping he would be there so I could take his photo 🙂

Pretty Store manager, Marica Lucia Santiago, who is Filipina!

New to me 🙂

Wow!

Congratulations Royce USA!!!

And right beside the Royce store is Lady M! So we walked next door

Here he is again! Ken started out as an investor in Lady M and eventually now is in full control. And it is because of him that Lady M has grown from one store to four stores! I heard there are many exciting locations in the pipeline!!
