Barbados part I: Homemade!

For Dee’s birthday, we celebrated by jet setting to Barbados! It was a whirlwind holiday that was planned in less than 2 weeks. We had an amazing time to say the least. The Friday we landed, we decided to go to a local and popular hotspot, Oistins. The first night we were lucky enough to meet 2 new friends: Dominic and Ian. We had such a great time hanging out with them that it...

For the 5th installment of my Michelin Star Challenge, I decided to go somewhere different. How different, you may wonder? Well… for starters I picked a place where they did not serve any meat!

I brought my bacon quiche (not...

4. *** Le Bernardin @ Midtown West, NY

Apparently, 2011 was a very generous year in the work realm. Not only did I receive a bonus, I was also a recipient of the CEO award (as well as a couple of minor awards). The CEO award goes to a few individuals who were part of a team that contributed to a project that directly impacted the company’s ability to deliver the best investing experience to the customers. Innovation and...

Red Rooster, Harlem

Marcos is one of my best friends in New York. He’s a Managing Director of a bank on Wall Street and every so often we will hang out to either celebrate our birthdays by watching a football game at Yale (we’re both Libras), art stalk Genesis P-Orridge or enjoy some other cultural event. Before Marcos’s one month business trip to India, we decided to meet up and dine at Red...
