perfect day in nyc

june 7th, i went to meet my friend ana for the paella parade at south street sea port. it was a beautiful day in manhattan. it started out a little rocky, the paella parade was chaos under a tent. but all in all it was a fantastic day. one of the type of days that make me so happy i live in new york city. oh! and i finally found the shade of saffron yellow bed sheets that i've been hunting a year for!
after the pealla parade, we decided to walk the brooklyn bridge to meet carmen in dumbo and get a ice cream cone at jacques torres. i saw hearts everywhere.
i came home and relaxed in my peaceful apartment and even had the moment to call my best friend jen to wish her a happy birthday. happy birthday jen! i love you.

the way to the heart is through the stomach

my lovely friend ana sofia has been collecting some hearts from around brooklyn for me. i think these are fantastic! she has such a good eye for them, better than mine in my opinion. if you look at the heart album picture, you can see ana's reflection in the glass.

ana is a foodie so its only fitting that she sees hearts in her food. check out her food blog here:

Hungry Sofia

she writes about her food experiences all around nyc and miami, and as an added bonus she provides recipes! she inspires me to cook and explore (and run, but thats another story). i love her.

love drunk on the sauce

ana found a heart in her marinara sauce, brooklyn 04.14.09

note that the marinara sauce is placed on ana's shelf between a jar of fluff and a bottle of tabasco sauce. i think i love ana more for the randomness of it.
