SARABETH’S- NEW YORK CITY

Published by Nicole Isaacs

My girls and I with our Peach Bellini’s! A Sarabeth’s favorite brunch cocktail.      Brunch at Sarabeth’s never looked so good lol. My ladies and I made the atmosphere even that much more cute 🙂 We went to Sarabeth’s across Central Park for brunch and it was the cutest brunch place. There were a couple baby & bridal showers going on (which is the perfect place for that). Sarabeth’s is very charming and the menu and decor reminded me of a bakery shop or a bridal shower invitation lol. It had that “pastel color charm”. Sarabeth’s is a very popular breakfast, brunch & lunch spot in New York City- the place was very busy on a Saturday afternoon. There are a couple of Sarabeth’s around the city, so look online to see a location near you. GUACAMOLE W/ HOUSE MADE CHIPS This was very good. The chips were made from scratch in the kitchen. They were crispy & salty. The perfect chips with fresh guacamole. ALMOND CRUSTED FRENCH TOAST W/ FRESH STRAWBERRIES I liked this french …

SAN PEDRO FISH MARKET- SAN PEDRO, CA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

Located on the harbor in San Pedro, is a long boardwalk of fresh seafood and fair food. Candied apples, kettle corn, funnel cakes among freshly caught grilled fish, oyster and ceviche bars, crab and lobster tanks, and heaps of grilled and fried shrimp served with huge loafs of garlic bread. Oh, and how can I forget, fully stacked bars with frozen daquiris, margaritas and a Mexican staple, Micheladas. There are several seafood shacks to choose from. Take your pick, or try a bunch of different places and enjoy! High quality, freshly caught seafood for cheap. You can’t beat that. Such a fun thing to do on a weekend with friends.

My new favorite chocolates. Choclatique sent me a beautiful box of chocolates for me to try and blog about, and I have to say…kind of obsessed now.

All the assortments are beautifully packaged and the chocolates are colorful, uniquely flavored and absolutely delicious. I was sent the “Designer Donuts” assortment, which is a collection of 15 pieces of chocolate beautifully wrapped in a brown and gold box.

THE PENTHOUSE AT THE HUNTLEY HOTEL-SANTA MONICA, CA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

Sippin’ my watermelon mojito! Cheers!      For DineLA week, my friends and I chose the Penthouse in the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. I heard it was a beautiful restaurant and had been wanting to dine there for awhile. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. With a 360 view of glass windows, you get a spectacular view of the city of Santa Monica and the ocean. All the tables against the windows are white cabanas with chandeliers, and in the middle of the restaurant is a big bar and a DJ booth- the whole scene is very chic and trendy.       Three of us ordered from the DineLA dinner menu, three courses for $34, and one ordered from the regular menu. We ordered a couple bottles of wine and some cocktails. Overall, it was a really great dinner- everything was good. APPETIZERS BOTTLE OF PINOT NOIR & BREAD/BUTTER VEGETABLE PUREE SOUP I LOVED this. Great flavor. ROCK SHRIMP Fanny’s Old Bay & Creamy Grits I usually order creamy rock shrimp tempura, so this was …
