Baby, it's cold outside...

This past Blizzard was so nice, for me anyways.  I enjoyed walking around while the snow was falling down hard, and watching the ground slowly turn black to white.  And then waking up to a blanket of snow over NYC.

This snow has definitely made '09 a good year.  Thank you Blizzard of 2009.

Reflections.

These buildings are around Bryant Park and the reflections caught my eyes for a good 5 minutes.

You know it's cold when...

...fountains start freezing over.

Shake Shack

Warm buns, juicy beef patties, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, crispy crinkle fries with cheese, and a delicious custard.

It's no wonder why lines for Shake Shack causes people to wait for an hour or so, depending on the day.  If I could, I would eat this everyday, but I'd rather not have a heart attack any time soon, so I'll just have this in moderation.

I wonder what the next month's flavors will be for the custards!

Fall Colors

Remember when you were little and the leaves started to change colors?  I used to get excited because I would go to queens to see my aunt and there would be piles of leaves everywhere!  I always took the opportunity to jump into one of these piles!  The other day I was in Central Park I had the opportunity to walk through some crunchy leaves and it just made me smile. 

I like the fall and it's brisk weather and it's crunchy leaves.  

Rahrr!

So I saw this little guy drawn on something in the middle of the street, and it caught my eye right away.

I got overly excited upon seeing this and noticed that it made me smile.

Yes, I know I get excited over small things, but I think it's the small things in life that count.

S'MAC

So the other day my friend was craving mac n' cheese and wanted to get some BADLY, and so we did. We ended up at S'MAC, Sarita's Macaroni and Cheese. I've been wanting to go here for the past year, but when I went earlier this year there was no indoor seating, and it was too cold to eat outside in the park, so I put it off.

S'MAC consists of an indoor area, which is two doors down from their take out spot. The inside's decor and set up reminded me of a pizzeria, you'll agree with me when you see it. Seating is fairly limited as well, so I suggest coming here before 12 - 2, or after, seeing as a lot of people like coming here for lunch.

Before we got here we already decided on getting the Sampler, which consists of:

- All-American, 4 Cheese,Cheeseburger, La Mancha, Cajun, Napoletana,Alpine, Parisienne.

I really liked all of them to be honest, but if I REALLY had to complain, I would say that the combination of Creamy Brie, roasted figs, roasted shiitake mushrooms & fresh rosemary is very powerful and hits your taste buds hard, maybe a little too hard, but still yummy.

It was definitely filling and worth the $16. I doubt I'd go here every day though, considering the fact that mac n' cheese is not the healthiest thing for you! But I would go here whenever a mac n' cheese craving hits!

So I forgot to take a picture of the Sampler before we got it, but here's one from their website.

But, I did remember to take a picture of it afterwards!

So yeah, it filled two people for sure! So come here hungry!
