SUNdeVICH SAMMIES

Friends and I have been deciding to check this hole in the wall for some time now. Decided to venture out to our back yard again on a deceiving sunny Saturday. This hole in the wall joint is no joke! The line was long, but that's what you get if the place is awesome right...? And.. if you visit on a Saturday afternoon... 
Anyways, Ended up with the Istanbul and Buenos Aires. The meat was cooked to pure tenderness and fireworks were  happening in my mouth! Mhm! 
And that's how you say sundevich.

DRENCHED



Tried out Bikram yoga today and I am madly in love ... It's a room full of half-naked beings sweating like there is no tomorrow. Literally people are faucets.. 
For an 1 1/2 hour I was feeling all sorts of "exotic feelings"... one being nauseous.. 
I walked out with my clothes drenched in my own disgusting liquidity toxins.. 
Definitely going back. 
I left feeling 80% less stressed and in a better mood. Those who are about to have their heads explode should do some Bikram yoga. Even regular yoga will suffice. Inhale people's odor and exhale the negative energy.

I LOVE NEWYORK

As tacky as the title to this entry sounds.. its absolutely true..
Haven't been back to the city since late August and I was suffering from painful city withdrawals...
Even though it was like a 30 some hour trip to help move in, I don't regret it one bit!

No shopping this time or site seeing...but of course I have to grub my little heart out ! One at the usual and one that's new.

My review will be excessively long on how much i love this place and their coconut cake... It's a long ass trip to make it here but every time they never fail to impress my taste buds. TRY IT.










For dinner we went for something else.. Thank god for having two very good persian friends to tell us what was good. Overall I was impressed but it still doesn't beat Shamshiri.
