Our Day OFF!!!

Jon and I usually have at least one day if not two days off together. Our week seems to go by so much easier when we do. Its nice to relax together. When we don't have days off, I have to tip toe around the house in the morning to head to work while he still sleeps,or Jon has to come home to me sleeping. We work opposite schedules right now. I go into work around 6am and head home around 7pm. While Jon starts off at 10am and doesn't get home till 2am.

They do say " Absences makes the heart grow fonder."

This photo was from a party we stopped in on. Our friend Phill invited us out to meet a few people. A few cocktails, sugar cookies, and cupcakes was all I needed to feel the holiday spirit! I cant wait for Christmas, NYC is so busy, and beautiful right now. My family is coming into town on New Years for a week to see us, nothing beats great company :)

Hope all is well with everyone. Jon and I are doing terrific and think of our friends and family often. We love you all, miss you, and Happy Holidays!

Restaurant Review!

Allen and Delancey had their first New York Times Review:
2 STARS!!!!



The whole place is going to be a mad house...almost impossible to get a reservation during the holidays. Please take the time and read the article, its charming. Keep in mind that Frank Bruni wrote this, a man that is hard to impress!

"next stop: 14th street, Union Square"

Union Square Market is a great place to entertain yourself for one afternoon! Fun times, we went food and people watching. You can purchase a good amount of things; veggies, fruit, meat, Christmas decorations, Christmas trees, flowers, hats, gloves, purses, paper shredders (seriously...in the shape of a hippo) all we walked out with was a cup o warm apple cider. Though we did get some awesome fashion sense:

young and old... these hats are everywhere. its the new thing...the Mohawk hat! i wanted a photo from the front, but I was to afraid :)
apparently ALL patterns are in at the moment, the more, the better!!!

The trees in the park are amazing right now, the bright colors, the whimsical branches...I enjoy this photo.
Good Old fashion Brussel sprouts! not many people are aware they grow this way, on a single stalk! they came in purple too!
