I went to this new hotel on crosby street ( between spring and prince street) in soho for afternoon tea at the cafe restaurant they have on the first floor.
From the moment I stepped into the entrance, I fell in love.
It’s almost like a small museum.
All interior the design and art is so diverse, yet matches together in the same atmosphere.
Downstairs, they have a nice size theater (almost the same size as an Angelica theater) with gorgeous orange leather seats.
The afternoon tea at the restaurant was a traditional british afternoon tea style with three layers of plates with sandwiches and scones.
Their cocktail menu is also worth to try out!
We had a chat with one of the nice staff and she told us each room is decorated different.
The owner is british and his wife does the art direction for the entire hotel. sounds sweet!

If you haven’t been there, you must!!!

I spent the last coupe of days at the end of the year in San Diego.
When we arrived there the first thing we saw was the bay, which is soooo “TOP GUN”.
Yes, I remember there was a pretty long scene where Tom Cruise was touring with his motorbike along side the shore as if it’s his promotion video and I watched it without thinking how cheesy it is at that time…

Well, this time, I enjoyed the Californian sun at the beach (Coronado island), big brunch in the pretty town of La Jolla, Old Town (although I had the WORST MEXICAN FOOD there, which Rachel Ray recommended), Gas Lamp district in downtown San Diego etc.
La Jolla was especially very pretty and I’d like to visit there for the summer some day.

年末の数日間はサン・ディエゴに行ってきました。
着いたとたんの感想は、まさに映画「トップ・ガン」。(実際に映画が撮影された場所)
トム・クルーズがあたかも彼のプロモーション・ビデオかのように湾岸沿いをバイクで走る長〜いシーンを恥ずかしげもなくみとれていた無垢な自分を思い出しました。

今回はビーチ(コロナド・ビーチ)でカリフォルニアの太陽、ラ・ホイヤでのブランチ、オールドタウン(フードチャンネルのスター、レイチェル・レイのおすすめのレストランで史上最悪のメキシカンを食べたけど)、ダウンタウンのガス・ランプエリアのバーなどを楽しみました。

特にラ・ホイヤはとっても可愛いビーチタウンで、いつか夏中バケーションで過ごしたいくらいの良いところ。
