Shopping & Good Eats

Accessories?

Pookie & Sebastian- CAN'T go wrong with this store. They usually have BOGO sales on earrings and their necklaces = Amazing. It's chic and most of their accessories can go with day wear or night wear. Necklaces range from $30-$80 but worth the splurge. Earrings range from $20-$40. Sale items are going to cheaper of course. LOVE IT.

Sweaters/Cardigans/Everyday Affordable Winter-Wear?

Mystique in SoHo. They have one Midtown a block from the Empire State Building also. They also have leggings and cheap tank tops too. I like this store because they have a whole lot of VARIETY. I LOVE VARIETY. Their boots are also uber cheap- ranging from $19.99-$35.00 and they're still stylish. Then, there's always H&M for money saving winter wear.

Jeans?

Urban Outfitters always has some kind of demin sales going on. If they don't their basic stretch jeans range from $30-$60. They're comfortable, stylish, you can dress them up or down and they have light to dark denim. I HATE JEAN SHOPPING and Urban is the only place I'll go for affordable jeans. As far as designer jeans go Hudsons and 7 for all man kind are my BFFS.

I am a Pad Thai fanatic and after trying a few places and Sa-Woy on the Upper East Side is my favorite. A little pricey but worth it. Free crispy noodles as an appetizer and they give more meat over noodles. I like. Spice has good and cheap calamari.

Illy has amazing coffee.

Fat Sal's so far is my favorite spot for pizza. Also, this restaurant called Glass House down in Chelsea.

Mad Chicken in Korea Town has amazing fried chicken and sushi balls- don't knock it til you try it. They also have GRRRRRRRRRRREAT drink specials. KyoChun Fried Chicken is also opening towards the end of this month- can't wait!

Q&N Food Mart is great for a variety- salad bar, soup bar and other random foods.

I still need to do more food exploring and can't think of anywhere that sticks out for now.

Random: I crave kettle corn.
Random too: This is more so a blog for myself. Sort of a reflection on my shopping/restaurant explorations in NYC thus far.
