Caracas Frappe
Most of you who know me by now, I’m a huge sucker for desserts, especially anything chocolate-related. I dropped into La Maison du Chocolat during one of those dog days of summer on my lunch break and ordered the Caracas frappe.

Edit (6/26/08, 7:45 PM): No more people needed for Restaurant Week, thanks for reading though! But you may certainly suggest me places to eat in Toronto or Niagara Falls.

Edit (6/26/08): Ok, since some of you already responded a bit later than I’ve wanted/imagined, I made reservations to Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, Del Posto, and Le Cirque.
For the first two (Gramercy and EMP), I will not change it since these two places tend to be booked that I can’t change it. As for Del Posto (it’s lunch for this place), I’m still open to have people eat with me here. For Le Cirque, I’m not adding people since I have a few friends here and a reader.
Thanks!

Hi Readers!
As most of you (the local New Yorkers and the visiting foodies alike) are probably aware of Restaurant Week, during July 21-July 25 and July 28-August 1st. Yeah, I’m obsessed with this bi-annual event since it means cheaper expensive food. Contradictory, no?
I know this is a long shot but I’m asking if any of you want to eat out with lunch or dinner with me at the following places:
We are paying our own way, it’s just for us to meet and to experience the food and the environs as well. If you’re interested, just e-mail me.
On a different note, I’m going to vacation during the 4th of July weekend. Well, a brief one to Niagara Falls and Toronto, driving all the way there from NYC. It’s suicide driving for 8 1/2 hours, but it’s cheaper than a train ticket. Anyway, do any of you have bakery or food suggestions that I should go to? I do have a few in mind but I just wanna hear your suggestions. This particular one, you should comment below, not send me an e-mail unless you feel like it, which I’m happy with either.

Three Saturdays ago I did have an intense fooding day since I went to the Big Apple BBQ 2008 with Giulia during the early afternoon (which I’m not going to write since everyone wrote about this eons ago and ate a lot more than I had, just Google it and you get a lot of hits) but you may look at my photos for that outing.
As for the second leg of this fooding excursion, I finally went out to Brooklyn! Park Slope to be more specific. It’s been ages since I went to this borough just because it’s a two-hour commute from home in Queens. Even though I do admit that it’s a 20-minute express subway ride from Union Square, so it ain’t that bad.

Terroir
Several weeks ago, I had a light dinner with a bunch of girl friends, Giulia, Helen, and Sarah at Terroir. We figured going out to a funky, affordable wine bar that won’t break the bank since a few of us are still in school and we don’t want to go broke for one night of fun.

During the last week of May I ate with a budget on mind since I’m eating with friends who are on a budget. I mean, these two meals definitely went under $20 per person. Interested? Read on…

PDT
A few weeks ago, Helen and I went to PDT for a cocktail or two right after we’re done with work. Normally, I would stay away from alcoholic drinks but I made an exception since I did like their drinks a lot nearly a year ago when I went to their Friends and Family night. Anyway, Helen was psyched to actually try it since I’ve been talking about this haute cocktail bar for months and she told me to take her there, so we finally did.
