Saturday night was girls night out with a few of my closest friends. We had a really nice dinner at one of my favorite restaurants - Kittichai. Although not as trendy, or as hard to get a table, as it once was, Kittichai offers its diners a nice intimate space, good decor, interesting and tasty food ( try the chocolate baby back rib appetizer - de-lish!) and even tastier drinks - passion fruit martini or a mixed berry mojito anyone? Although they no longer offer the asian pear martini that used to be my stand by drink, there is something to please every New Yorker's jaded taste buds, and each perfectly made.
After a nice dinner of girl talk, we headed over to the lounge at The Soho Grand hotel for even more girl talk. Which interestingly enough, has not updated their website to show the renovated lounge area. The space is now all chocolate leather with turquoise accents, highlighted by big bird cage looking objects filled with feathers and flowers. A relaxing spot to chill out with friends for drinks and nibbles. Many times this is where I do an after work meet up.( Since I usually work till 730-ish and this is only a few blocks from my office -it winds up being the best solution) And except for the velvet rope now ensconced at the entrance on weekends (which doesn't make a lot of sense- it's a hotel- not 27th Street) I highly recommend popping in sometime.
All in all it was nice night out. Sunday it was an Open House at 60 Broadway and reading this month's book club book - Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho. Since this is a family friendly blog, I will skip over the contents and theme of this one, and suggest that everyone reads his book The Alchemist . The Alchemist with its themes of love, luck, fate, destiny, and personal responsibility to fulfill ones dreams and goals - is truly a life changing book. Then... after a few loads of laundry, vacuuming, and my usual Sunday night facial mud mask, it was to bed and up for a busy Monday.
Hope everyone's week is off to a good start!
