Here are the links:
- Tapas at Casa Mono was a great way to celebration Inauguration Night. The pumpkin and goat cheese croquetas were so yummy.
- Whitehouse.gov is a great site to not only follow what’s going on with the 44th President, but it is good to brush on your American history knowledge with a listing of all presidents.
- Stopped by the Serious Eats Happy Hour and then a few went over to Momofuku Milk Bar where we ate soft serve ice cream. The flavors chocolate malt and orange julius were my favorites. I also had my first ever Momofuku pork bun (pictured above). It was so good.
- Worked at New Work City today and got a sneak peek of Tony and Todd’s co-working book, “I’m Outta Here”.
- Read the blog posts by Michelle and Anita, the two writers at I Can Bring Home The Bacon.
Tonight, I went to the book party for Baked at PowerHouse Arena in DUMBO. Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito, the owners of Baked in Red Hook, have written their first cookbook, Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, which is full of delicious recipes for cakes, brownies, whoopie pies and cupcakes. The Chocolate Malted cupcakes pictured above are so yummy!
Before going to the Baked event, I stopped by the FreshDirect event at Union Square Wine and Spirits. The event was to promote the FreshDirect’s new online wine store partnership With USQ Wine Store. There was cheese and wine pairings, sake with edamame, a few Spanish wines and a really spicy ginger cocktail made with Canton. I especially liked the Llopart Rose Brut Cava so I may get some for the holidays since they will be here soon. At the event, I met a couple of writers from Crain’s, a very cool former model who is a foodie, and actress Robin Mattson who played Heather on General Hospital back in the day. Plus, I talked to fellow foodbuzz blogger Miss Ginsu and the very nice publicists at MWW.

Saturday, originally uploaded by nichellest.
My dad made the most tasty BBQ ribs on Saturday. They were bone-sucking good. 🙂 Sunday, my family and I went for brunch at The Pecan, a delicious soul food restaurant in downtown College Park. The pepperjack grits are so good.
I got a copy of this new eco-magazine, Boho.

Before eating a delicious croque-monsieur at Lucky Strike, I went to a book party in Soho for photographer Lisa Kereszi’s book, Fantasies. It was a crazy crowded at the party which was held in a Soho loft. There was one gray haired man walking around eating a bowl of cereal. I think that’s his “party schtick”. Other people tie knots out of cherry stems.
This morning I started the day with a Slim Jim which was left over from the Roanoke trip. This evening I had macaroni and cheese at Florent which is delicious and carb-tastic. I even upgraded by ordering Black Forest Ham with it just to be naughty. Besides, Purim is on Friday.
It's Nichelle With An "N"
