Indoor Dining is back in NYC & This is the 1st Place You Should Go

After months of indoor dining not being available in New York City, it is finally back in action and I found the perfect gem you must go to dine indoors to get the full experience, and that is Angelina Paris.  

Angelina Paris has opened its first US location, right here in New York City by Bryant Park. Due to the pandemic, their opening kept getting delayed, but they finally opened in November and boy was it worth the wait. 

When you visit Angelina Paris, you really want to go for the experience and pleasure of dining in their Parisian Tea Room. It is so elegant with its high ceilings, chandeliers and paintings of different parts of Southern France on the walls. You will forget you are dining in the middle of New York City. If you're on the run and don't have time to dine indoors, you can always stop in to grab a treat to take with you, as they have plenty of items to take away as well. 

First things first, come with an empty stomach because there is so much to enjoy. They are open Monday through Friday from 8am to 8pm, and serve breakfast, pastries and light lunch fares all day long. I went around 2pm which, in my opinion, was the perfect time to try their sweet and savory dishes. 

Start with their signature hot chocolate. This is hot chocolate like you've never had before! It is so rich and delicious, and so perfect for these chilly days we are still having. They make it easy for you to have this on the go and at home, so don't forget to grab a bottle on your way out.

Next, I went with their French Onion Soup, Croque Madame & Roasted Salmon. All of these dishes were absolutely delicious and stayed true to their French Roots. 
But don't fill up too much on the main dishes, because you must save room for their pastries that are made fresh daily in house.

Angelina Paris is most known for their signature Mont Blanc pastry (middle), a crisp French meringue under a dome of whipped cream covered by chestnut vermicelli. Unbelievable!

Then I had to try their Trocadero (right), not only because it is one of my favorite metro stops in Paris (it's the one to see the Eiffel Tower from) but it just looks amazing and of course, it was. This pastry is made of crunchy hazelnut, creamy chocolate, hazelnut biscuit, chocolate icing & almonds, topped with milk chocolate whipped cream. Oh la la!

Finally, I had to try their newest pastry, Choc' Intense (left) , a chocolate brownie with dark chocolate moose, salted chocolate cream and crunch dark chocolate. This pastry is a chocolate lovers' dream!

The experience I had dining at Angelina Paris brought me right back to the time I spent living in Paris, and while we still can't travel abroad to the real Paris, I am so glad I now have Angelina Paris in my backyard to go to. I'll just have to make sure I walk to and from the restaurant, so I don't gain (what the French call) a Brioche Belly from eating too many pastries!

Everybody Needs to be Compensated Properly, Equitably, & Above Board

image from @evanrosskatz instagram Amanda Seyfried said it best “Everybody needs to be compensated for their work. That’s f*cking easy.” She said this in reference to the recent WGA strikes happening in Hollywood. However, I would like to take her quote and apply it to what I’ve noticed the issues are with how the entertainment industry is ran here in Florida.   After working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years in New York City, I expected some things to be handled differently in Florida but not to the extent that I have witnessed. The biggest issue here is that people are, simply, not compensated for their work.   Let’s start off with, how Florida does not see the value in models. Business owners believe that if they provide you with a free item from, let’s say their restaurant, so a cocktail, that’s enough compensation to use your likeness and image in perpetuity on all mediums and formats. This is so wrong. Modeling is a profession and it should be treated as su...

Quarantine Night time Skin Care Routine

Throughout this time in quarantine, I really have made a conscious effort to take care of my skin. I think this is the best it has looked in a really long time, partly because of how I've been keeping up with this nightly routine.  So here is the quick video version of it and then I'm going to go into detail of what exactly I am doing... If I'm wearing make-up, I first use Biore's Charcoal Cleansing Micellar Water to take off my make-up, or at least the majority of it. Now even though, it says on the bottle you can use this without rinsing it off, I feel like it still leaves a film which is why I go to wash my face with soap afterwards.  To wash my face, I vary between different gentle cleansers but for this video I used Lancome's Miel-en-Mousse Foaming Face Wash, which smells incredible! Washing my face after removing my make up, helps make sure there is no remaining residue of make up on my skin before I continue with my routine. After washing my face, I ...
