French Bistro
And of course, I had to mention the Dominique Bistro to make this weekend all about romance or a perfect happy hour in the city! The bistro concept is to offer Parisian food with traditional French finesse and flavor. I was there with Ryu and we started with a selection of cheeses, followed by a salad, pâté, tuna tartare, a seafood stew and dessert. Everything I tried was delicious! Another cool thing that gives a special touch to the place is the piano bar in the basement, with a warm and elegant atmosphere. Despite all the finesse of French cuisine, the bistro has a vintage and informal feel, perfect for a happy hour with friends after a long day at work, a dinner for two or even a business meeting. Ah! They also serve brunch, with the best of French style! To check out the menu, click HERE! The Dominique bistro is located at 14 Christopher Street. Bon appétit!
How to be Single
“There’s a right way to be single, a wrong way to be single, and then…there’s Alice. And Robin. Lucy. Meg. Tom. David. New York City is full of lonely hearts seeking the right match, be it a love connection, a hook-up, or something in the middle. And somewhere between the teasing texts and one-night stands, what these unmarrieds all have in common is the need to learn how to be single in a world filled with ever-evolving definitions of love. Sleeping around in the city that never sleeps was never so much fun.”
And if you have not watched the comedy of the year, hurry up and go see it, it is still playing in some theaters! In the movie you will learn to be single in New York in the funniest way possible! I love movies that take place here, and if it’s comedy, even better! Invite your girl friends and get some good laughs this weekend!
