Back home

and jet lagged so badly!
i sleep at 1:00am and after waking up for il fayer i can't go back to sleep,then me, the person that does not sleep il 3a9ir, sleep for 2-3 hrs il 3a9ir! i'm getting a total of 4-5 hrs aday =/

There were no sings of swine flue in every airport i've been to except for Kuwait's.. they give u those forms to fill out oo u get scanned in by the camera that detects heat illi u have to walk by to go to the baggage claim area..

anyways.. back to NY, the two areas i loved the most were Soho and the Meatpacking District..

Soho
the area has some really nice stores and good restaurants and cafes.. wandering around the streets of Soho i saw this drawn on a wall


looks familiar?! ;p

One of the best pizza's u'll have there is at Lombardi's


Share the pizza so u can have dessert in the close by Rice To Riches.. they serve the best rice pudding i've ever had..


oo there were so many flavors to choose from it was really hard! at the end i went with the one with cookie dough.. 3ajeeeb! (reminded me of cerelac which i secretly still like ;p)



i loved the signs they had hanging all around the store check them out:






Nespresso's branch in Soho was still not fully opened.. but it had some cool law7at on display of celebrities all made out of their coffee capsules



The Meatpacking District
a very hip area that also has some cool shops and trendy restaurants ..

I tried out Pastis that was recommended to me by a friend.. though, like the Buzberry said, the food was nothing special but it was the perfect place for Sunday brunch



the owners of Pastis are the same owners of Soho's Balthazar.. they have a similar menu. i tried it for lunch.. the experience was much better than the burnch at pastis..


This was drawn on a wall infront of spice market (which was so not worth it oo so overrated).. i think i like the drawing more with the vandalism.. the moustache gives it some character ;p


That's all!
now if only i can get rid of the jetlag faster.. it's been a while now yarabi eshkithir more do i have to suffer?!
