This lantern is sooo tall…it’s so hard to find this size. It would look amazing on a front porch or step!!
Have you ever been to The Palm in NYC, the 4th generation Steak House? I go to the Palm in the Theater District before many of our blogger Broadway outings. I also love the other Palm locations!! My favorite is the Monday Night Chopped Salad. Everyone loves their steak (its the best) and all of the yummy sides. I was in the city last Thursday night and decided to have a pre-theater dinner with some friends at the West 50th location. It must have been an off night because our waiter was not the best. This is not at all common for The Palm. Their philosophy is “treat guests like family, serve great food, and always exceed expectations.” So we decided it was completely opposite from our other dinners there, probably just an off night and moved on. Saturday night, I was in the city again and we decided to go back to The Palm. Upon arriving, we mentioned that we didn’t want the same waiter and were hoping to sit in a different area. The manager, Craig, came over, introduced himself, bought us a drink and found us a great table. He felt so badly about our Thursday night experience. He and our new waiter helped us pick out our dinner (though I stuck with my chopped salad as a starter). They had some really wonderful suggestions for us. Craig could not have been more hospitable or accommodating. He used to live in Rye so we discussed so many things that we loved about our area. He was a total gentleman and so professional and checked on us a few times throughout the meal. Our dinner, per usual at The Palm was incredible. We had to run to make a show so we quickly asked for our check…..GUESS WHAT!!!??????? To make up for our experience on Thursday, they treated us to dinner….Can you believe it?…Now that is customer loyalty. Craig, I did not see you when I left, we were in a rush to get to the show…we stayed wayyyyyy too long at The Palm because we love it so much…..A million thank you’s for your kindness and understanding and the most amazing meal…..You have a Palm fan for life!!!!
Here are some of the amazing dishes you can find at The Palm. Make it your next NYC dining destination and if you do go to the West 50th location, tell Craig I say HI!!!!
After a crazy couple of months, I am trying to get back on track with my own life and also with my blogging schedule. I found an awesome book for this week’s Book Club choice, Searching for Sylvia Lee by Jean Kwok. This book not only was an NYT’s instant best seller, it was one of Jenna’s club pick on the Today Show AND it was named a most anticipated book by the NYT, Time, Marie Clare, Elle, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, The NY Post and soo many more!!!! Here’s the story:
I recently partnered with a local company Breck and Grier….The company was founded by 2 sisters Breck and Grier from Riverside, CT. They were constantly looking for the perfect bag and decided to create it themselves….The bags are made from Moroccan craftsmen. The sisters added their own touch… a personalized twist. They will help you create you own unique bag that will take you from the beach to town and everywhere in between. Where will your Breck and Grier take you? Order your own HERE.

I first met Elizabeth a year ago and saw all of her incredible designs. Elizabeth creates the most beautiful fancy monogrammed ponchos and wraps. Her prices are sooo beyond reasonable and her designs are of the highest quality. My first piece was a really cool heather grey poncho with a raspberry initial on initial 2 letter monogram. Since then I have purchased a light grey ruffle wrap with a turquoise monogram and a really really cool camo wrap. I have also purchased a bunch of gifts for friends and they have loved loved their ponchos and wraps and sent me photos of them wearing them all around the world!!!! Elizabeth’s items are so in demand that it took me forever to convince her to agree to a post. She is sooooo busy fulfilling orders. I am telling you…..you are going to LOVE all of her items…Elizabeth is working on her website but you can see some of her items HERE and she is always happy to answer questions and take special orders if you CONTACT HER. As Elizabeth says, “A cape belongs in every woman’s closet”.
