RANDOM SHOTS!

I have been busy working here in NYC and in my spare time I come to a couple of places that spark my interest.
Very cool interiors from the indoor Market

Most of the time these center around the food or the restaurant that I like to try of my friends recommend.  You all know I love brunch and this for me works because I end up eating two meals a day instead of one!  However I know this is not the healthiest way to live but I still love it!  Will just work out more-  in this case take less cabs and just walk more!  LOL!
.
Well my friends started working on the area where we would love to be in  and then have brunch in that area.  I always love the Meat packing district because the stores there are really nice and they are just really interesting.  We walked through the Market are which was always cool and ended up in the old FLORENT…which was one of my favorite diners when I was a student!  It is now called GANSEVOORT 69 named after the address it is at with Telephone number 212-6910069.
The Gansevoort interiors. Its a cleaned up version of florent but I miss the grit and I definitely miss the food!

Honestly,  I would not bother making a reservation because it was not really that great!  I mean the food was normal and nothing  really to blog about!  LOL!  Although the staff were really nice but the food was a waste of time.

My Huevos-Rancheros! Pwede na! But I had much better versions in the city!

Good thing the shopping put us all in a better mood!  LOL!  Shopping does that all the time doesn’t it?
