This week we stopped by one of New York’s most talked about dining experiences, Sushi Roxx. After getting a glimpse of the restaurant on The Real Housewives of New York City, we couldn’t wait. The trendy Japanese inspired dinner theater and club hybrid just celebrated their one year anniversary and is already planning lots of surprises for years to come. Their latest major announcement is a partnership with Karina Smirnoff, you may know her from being an award-winning dancer and perfecting her moves on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Smirnoff has signed on board to choreograph the fourth performance installment called “ROXX:RELOADED” at Sushi Roxx. She brings 20 years of experience to make it the biggest and best show to-date. During multiple dinner seating’s, guests will be invited to a nightly spectacle where the wait-staff seamlessly slip from servers into the spotlight and “Flash Mob” to select songs.

The season of good weather is coming to a close for New Yorkers. Soon we’ll be trading our flip flops for boots and complaining about the bracing cold. Luckily there are a few weeks of decent weather left to take advantage of. Over the next few weeks, you can make the most of the time we have left by cruising down the picturesque Hudson River Valley with Classic Harbor Line. We took a relaxing cruise up the Hudson River with Classic Harbor Line for their inaugural sail. We were on their chic and retro Manhattan Yacht. This Great Gatsby inspired vessel took us for a long leisurely trip from Manhattan to Poughkeepsie, NY. The voyage is a 4.5-hour excursion straight to Upstate NY, followed by a 3-hour self-guided tour of Poughkeepsie and then a sunset dinner cruise.

Brunch is a weekend treat that usually involves copious amounts of food and beverage. Over the years, we’ve had plenty of boozy brunches with bottomless beverages and sumptuous menus. Last Sunday was the first time we combined brunch with any type of physical activity.

The time has finally come to pack away our legwarmers and work on our sea legs. Boating season has commenced and the various piers around the city are full of great opportunities to enjoy the warmer weather on the water. We took the season’s inaugural voyage last week aboard the Yacht Manhattan II one of Classic Harbor Line newest vessels. The ship is docked at the gorgeous pier 62 of Chelsea Piers. The Yacht Manhattan II also hosted our last voyage of 2015, which was a weekend brunch cruise. This time, we chose the sunset Yacht Cruise, a 1.75-hour cruise through the Hudson and east river.

Dining at Nello Restaurant

by Desha Winborne July 28, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 696 Madison Avenue

Cuisine: Italian

Best Dish: We adored the Lamb chops and the Ossobuco, but the Calamaretti was the star. The stuffed was a unique dish that would appeal to any seafood lover.

Overall: A fine space for a dinner with friends or relatives but not ideal for rambunctious kiddies. Families can dine at Nello and often do but the menu may be problematic for the little ones. Nello is a good choice for a very special date night with your spouse or a meal with out of town guests who would enjoy people watching.

I hope everyone had a safe and joyous 4th of July. The weather in New York was simply amazing, standing still at around 75 degrees. I was ecstatic because this meant my friends and I could hang on the rooftop to celebrate another year of independence. I set my plans in motion starting with securing a grill master, then setting up the soundtrack for the evening, and topping it off with the best bourbon (my favorite) I could find, Wild Turkey American Honey®. The rooftop overlooked the Hudson River and was the perfect backdrop for what was sure to be a great evening of music, BBQ, and of course fireworks.

Restaurant Review: Lovecraft Bar NYC

by Desha Winborne July 13, 2015

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 50 Avenue B, New York, NY 10009

Cuisine: American

Best Dish: Two Words- Lobster Tacos. These are an amazing hybrid between a lobster roll and a fish taco. The crunchy shell holds up well with the large chunks of delicious lobster meat.

Overall: It’s more than a bar it’s an event. Despite its horror themed appearance Lovecraft is a fun relaxed place with a friendly staff and really good food. It’s a good place to enjoy after work or with a few friends. The space also makes a great venue for a first date the decor alone will give you something to talk about and if you’re lucky, Troy will be there to supply the soundtrack to your new love story.
