Angelina Gelateria in Koreatown

When I was in Koreatown a couple of weeks ago I walked into Angelina.  There before me were the most beautiful mounds of gelato in the prettiest colors.  The gelato looked so amazing that  I wanted to taste every flavor!  Angelina offers an array of Italian and Korean flavors!  The people behind the counter couldn't have been nicer.  Such a happy place!  Yum!

 I will have to go back many times to try every flavor!

The nicest people!

How pretty is this?

I since have learned that this is not the only location that Angelina has.  Angelina has a bakery in Hell's Kitchen and a flagship location in Times Square and a newly opened location in Brooklyn.  The Times Square location is also a restaurant.  The menu for the restaurant as well as the bakery is filled with delectable delights.     

Pancakes or Waffles? Have a yummy weekend!

I live on Long Island and we have a local diner called Mitchell's.  All of their food is so good and fresh.

But their Challah french toast and Old fashioned french toast with powdered sugar and fresh fruit is the best!  And they have the best milk shakes!  My boyfriend and I get vanilla with whipped cream and a cherry on top!  An old fashioned treat!  And they also sell the candy that we had when we were kids in the fifties and sixties.  I will add a pic the next time I am there.

This is amazing with fresh strawberries and bananas

and of course the Milk Shake

Barbra Streisand at the Barclays Center

Saturday night my daughter and I were treated to Barbra Streisand.  And what a treat!  The Barclays Center is amazing and Barbra.....well.......spectacular....to say the least!!!!  Barbra Streisand has been my idol since I was a teenager.  I have always wanted to see her in concert but never have.  So when my friend called me and said "you are going to see Barbra Streisand!!!" I could not believe it.
First we had the most delicious dinner at the 40/40 Club.  Jay Z,  you know how to rock  a restaurant.  (And thank you Bruce Ratner and Jay Z for bringing the Nets and this beautiful venue to Brooklyn!)   As we walked into the restaurant we were all served champagne. The 40/40 Club is absolutely beautiful with big screen televisions throughout.  Of course they were playing scenes from Barbra Streisand movies (what a treat!)
Stations are set up throughout the restaurant.  One table for beef sliders, one for turkey burger sliders, one for crab sliders (I had the crab and it was soooo good!)  Stations for fish, potatoes, the most amazing macaroni and cheese that you will ever taste, lamb chops, steak, salads, chicken satay.......the list of dishes goes on and on.  Too many to mention!  Dessert.....the biggest red velvet cake I have ever seen.  And the tiniest cheesecake with the most delicious raspberry sauce drizzled throughout.  Then I ate the most decadent chocolate (brownie/fudge) with caramel sauce and I don't know what.....yum!!!!
As if the dining experience wasn't enough.  Then we walk into the most amazing arena that I have ever seen.......and the concert that I have been waiting for since I was a teen......BARBRA!!!!!!!
I have to say that I felt like I was in a reality television show.  It was surreal!!!  xoxo
 (Thank you David!)
