The Station House

posted on : June 6, 2018 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

I have been sooo busy this month with restaurant reviews and here is yet another WINNER!!! I had been hearing about the Station House at the Port Chester train station. The word on the street is that I had to try the amazing pizzas. So when I was invited to a press dinner…I knew I HAD to go. The Station House is owned by the same restaurant group of the Rye House in Manhattan and Port Chester and the uber popular outdoor Beer Garden in Port Chester. The menu is awesome. The pizzas crust contains less than 1% yeast and undergo a 24 hour fermentation process which provides a more natural and complex flavor…It is AWESOME…the meatballs, roasted oysters and whipped ricotta are also incredible. Now YOU have to GO!! Trust me, you will not be disappointed!!!!

Today’s Book Club Monday’s Choice is “Jaw Dropping, Unforgettable, & Shocking”!!!! It is The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks, and Sarah Pekkanen. Here is the summary of this book that you will not be able to put down:

When you read this book, you will make many assumptions.
You will assume you are reading about a jealous ex-wife.
You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement – a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love.
You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle.
Assume nothing.

Twisted and deliciously chilling, Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen’s The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage – and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Read between the lies. – Amazon.com

I am sooo happy to announce that we have an amazingly talented new sponsor, Jenn Pizzo of BeYounique Designs. Jenn is our Fashionable Friend Friday for this week. I really think I went overboard showing you her items today. But, I cannot help it….I LOVE everything!!! Her patchwork hats are so great and her Birkin style patchwork bags and fur trimmed jackets are even better BUT my absolute favorite are the one of a kind terry logo bags. They are genius. I just got one for the beach and I bought a few makeup bags for gifts. Next week Jenn is introducing a new product to her line, a large logo clutch, perfect for those summer nights out!!! I cannot wait to order one. To see all the styles or to contact Jenn click, HERE.

The makeup bags make perfect gifts.

The logo bags come in a bunch of colors and styles!!

The camo is so cool!!!

As is the Goyard style.

This is also a fav and there are many color/design options available!!! I saw these all over the Hamptons last summer!!!

Here is an army green jacket but you can also get classic denim as well!!!

This fur bag is on my wish list for fall….

Myx Creative Kitchen

posted on : May 30, 2018 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

My family and I have a new obsession….Myx Creative Kitchen in Greenwich, Ct. I recently attended a press dinner there, where I sampled many things from the menu and have returned almost everyday since. And I have to say, so have most of the bloggers that were there that night with me…it is THAT good or as Myx says…”food that you can feel good about”!!!! From salads (the Mykonos is my favorite) to flatbread pizzas (all gluten free) to protein bites (love the peanut butter chocolate ones) and the daily homemade soups (I had tomato today) you really must try it. The breakfast menu sounds amazing..that is next on my list…oh and did I mention that even though they are right off Greenwich Ave, they have their own parking in the back, so stopping by is a no brainer!!!!

The salad shakers with the goddess dressing is soo good..here are the protein bites and yummy coconut water in the actual coconut shell!!!

They have a guilt free banana frozen dessert…we all LOVED it..its very similar to the one that Gwyneth features in her book!!!

Another one of our favs…gluten free donuts!!!

Here is a sampling of the salads you can order!!

These juices are delicious too and much easier than blending them at home!!!

Here is where I stock up..the ready made section is out of this world!!!

Kips Bay Showhouse 2018

posted on : May 29, 2018 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

Earlier this month I was invited to the Press Preview of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Every year I look forward to this incredible event to benefit the Kips Bay Girls and Boys Club. This year, the designers dontated their time and talent to transform seven floors of living space. The showhouse ends on the 31st so there are only a few more days to experiece this fabulousness!!! I have to say I loved every single room this year, but my absolutle favorite was the woman’s dressing room and bathroom by Marcia Tucker (see below).
