Pleasure Seekers go to 67 Orange Street

August 21, 2012 by findingpaola

After a good meal at Yatenga with my co-worker, I decided to stop by 67 Orange to finish the night with a good cocktail. I’ve always been a big fan of the speak-easy, cocktail bar located right on FDB at 113th Street. I used to go there once a week when I first moved to the neighborhood to get my “Sexy Nachos” fix. I’m not kidding, that was one of the menu items, I didn’t make up the name. Not only were […]

Dress up for work

August 14, 2012 by findingpaola

I keep it simple for work. I tend to stray away from trends and shop classic pieces for my professional life. I do a lot of my work-shopping online on discounted website like ideeli.com. They always have great collections of designers (Calvin Klein, Ellen Tracy, etc) with good quality at my price range. I also visit stores like Loehmann’s and Banana Republic for nice, quality work clothes on a budget. I still get bright, girly colors, but the cut is usually […]

Better Baller Athletics Fundraiser at Chocolat

August 7, 2012 by findingpaola

In efforts to keep my words of saving a section of my blog dedicated to Harlem, last week after work, I took my brand new camera up the block to Chocolat, a restaurant/bar near my apartment to see what I might find. The main thing that lead me to visit Chocolat was the “Happy Hour” sign I read by the entrance just a few days before while walking to a local Ethiopian restaurant with some friends. The sign captured everyone’s attention with its reasonable […]

A day with my mother

August 2, 2012 by findingpaola

Meet my mother. She’s like the sister I’ve never had. I love when she visits me in my New York. I get to take her to all of my favorite places or places I read great things about. After brunch in the West Village and some shopping one Saturday, we decided to go relax by the fountain in Bryant Park. We sat a very close proximity to the fountain in the shade. Occasionally we would feel the mist coming from […]

Above 96th Street

July 31, 2012 by findingpaola

Deciding to move in Harlem has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made since living on my own. I absolutely love my neighborhood, and the love strengthens the longer I live there. I love all the of the new businesses and the old. I love the proximity of Central Park and Morningside Park from my apartment. I love being greeted “good morning” and “have a nice day, beautiful” nearly every day. I love making friends with the small […]

horns, mojitos, and Esthero

May 24, 2011 by findingpaola

Sometimes, you find yourself in your friend’s apartment, one borough away, balancing on one foot, with heavy bull horns on your head. Your friend is snapping pictures, you don’t care, you continue to make a fool of yourself, shouting obscenities like a true sailor, and talking trash. You’re having a good time, everyone one is. Faces stretch into big smiles, laughter chokes the throats and tears threaten the eyes. You’re having a good time. Just 40 minutes before, you were in […]
