Harlem Nights

   CHEERS TO A GREAT SATURDAY

In celebration of my childhood friend's birthday (happy birthday Marcy) we decided to meet and have dinner at this amazing restaurant located in Harlem!  Its extremely busy so make sure you make reservations if you plan on visiting.  

I went for the Surf n Turf!  It was delicious, the steak was so good!  I'm not much of a steak eater but this was on point 👌🏼.  I'm a bubbles kinda gal so I had a Bubbles & Pink, while my friends drank Ocean Goddess.  Both drinks were equally yummy!  I mean 3 glasses glasses later...

Passion fruit sangria and a birthday toast

We ended the night with some shots and a toast to long lasting friendship.  Seriously, how many of us can say we're close to our childhood friends?  Not many that's for sure!  Life keeps us busy, kids, struggles etc but we make it our business to get together whenever we can. Not as often but we try. 

If you're in NYC near the Harlem area definitely give Ricardo's Steak House a try!  The food, drinks and vibe definitely get a 2 thumbs up from me!  

39 and fabulous!!

Ooooh what a wonderful birthday I had!  I make 39 look good - don't I?  Ha ha ha!  It's been quite some time since I last spent a birthday in NYC.  I've gotten so used to spending my birthday in Puerto Rico, by the beach usually ending with a nice quiet dinner.  This year tho certain circumstances did not allow me to travel so home is where I stood.  The weather was good, rainy but not cold.  The Mr surprised me with a Broadway show (On Your Feet) and dinner at my favorite Cuban restaurant (Victor's Cafe).  The following morning my best friend surprised me, she stops by my house and literally rushed me to get dressed.  She left me no time to get pretty, I was so swollen, literally had that *I just woke up* look lol.  Next thing I know she drove me away.  She planned a brunch with some of my friends / coworkers!  It was such a nice gesture, I appreciate her so much!  I'm so grateful and blessed.  I couldn't have asked for a better birthday!  Let's see what 39 feels like...
