How to Find the More Perfect Hotel Room

bacigirl — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:50:26 +0000

I have discovered a website that I love called Room 77. What Room77 does is allow you to see what kind of hotel room you are going to get and the view from that room. So you type in the city and name of the hotel where you are staying and it will show you the view from that specific room. Because we all know that not all hotel rooms are created equal. Who wants to look at a Wall when you could look at a park. What I have done is write down the rooms I like before arriving. This way prior to the Front Desk employee giving me the key I can suggest the rooms I would prefer. Usually they will assume I have been to the hotel before and will provide better service anyways.

I Love This Cognac

bacigirl — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:00:31 +0000

I found Tesseron Cognac a couple of years ago and I am a huge fan. Unlike many other brands this is still a family run company started in 1885. The Cognac is made in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, France. They have many different variations that they sell. Personally, I like the Lot 76 the best. It is also one of their least expensive. The bottle will set you back about $80. What makes this Cognac distinct is the caramel sweet undertone.

Tesseron Lot N° 76 “X.O Tradition” is an exceptional blend of reserve stocks of Grande Champagne Cognac, matured to perfection in old casks. Lot N° 76 immediately establishes its quality on the nose which exhibits a wealth of caramelised peaches, almond and candied fruit aromas. This carries through magnificently on to the palate, with rich, delicate flavours of nuts and dried fruits. A rare range of tasteful sensations.

A Perfect Pizza: 2 Amy’s in Washington DC

A picture is worth a thousand words so let me know what you think? 2 Amy’s located at (3715 Macomb Street Northwest Washington D.C., DC 20016 Tel (202) 885-5700) has the best pizza in Washington DC and maybe in the USA. They are one of the only Pizza places with D.O.C. (See Below). This is a fantastic and delicious place. They also have a great variety of beer. Simply Delicious!!!!!

What is DOC? In 1998 the Italian government formally recognized Neapolitan pizza as a traditional food worthy of preservation and granted it D.O.C (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) status, which specifies the legally permitted ingredients and methods of preparation necessary to produce authentic Neapolitan Pizza. Only soft-grain flour, fresh yeast, water, and sea salt may be used for the dough, and only Italian plum tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala, extra-virgin olive oil and fresh basil or dried oregano may be used for the toppings.

Quickly create new Sticky notes on a Mac

bacigirl — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:12:34 +0000

There are 2 ways of making a Sticky Note on your Mac. The first way of creating a new note as easy as highlighting the text and/or images you want to jot down and pressing a keyboard shortcut. That shortcut? Command-Shift-Y. Your new note will near-instantly appear on your screen, containing the text you just had selected.

If keyboard shortcuts aren’t your preference, there is a second approach, too. You still start by highlighting whatever it is you’d like to save in Sticky form. In this method, however, you simply drag your selection onto the Stickies icon in your Dock. Once again, your newly-created note will leap to the front of your screen, reflecting the entirety of your selection.

Dominique Ansel: An Outstanding Bakery in Soho

bacigirl — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:44:50 +0000

I recently visited Dominque Ansel, a bakery in Soho. I love this Bakery. It is very relaxing and just exudes a great energy. The kind of place you would love to hang out in. It is very casual with Coffee served in paper cups. But the coffee is fantastic and the bakery is amazing. All the products are baked on-site which is rare these days. I loved their Croissant, Cannele, and Madeleine. I definitely love this place and highly recommend it. They are located at: 189 Spring Street (between Sullivan and Thompson) New York, NY 10012.

Sightglass Coffee in San Francisco

I have been ordering Coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee for the past 2 years. They provide an excellent aromatic coffee, freshly roasted within 24 hours of shipping. However, I recently discovered Sightglass Coffeethat is also located in San Francisco. They have an excellent customer service team. I ordered the Ethiopia, Gedeo, YCFCU Single Origin Espresso. The aroma of the fresh coffee was amazing when we received the package. The coffee was very flavorful and well balanced. Will definitely be ordering again.

TASTE NOTES

Ethiopia’s Yirga Cheffe region is known for producing coffees with refined fruit-like brightness and delicate floral aromatics. The Gedeo lives up to it’s namesake, offering kaffir lime and jasmine floral aromatics. These floral attributes show in the cup beside flavors of watermelon, bergamot, and crisp cucumber.

DETAILS

This is a washed processed coffee from the Yirga Cheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union. YCFCU farmer members tend to small plots of land at high altitudes ranging from 1700-2200 meters above sea level. These small plots are in Ethiopia’s Yirga Cheffe region, specically the Gedeo zone, an area known for producing coffees with refined fruit-like brightness and delicate floral aromatics. The Gedeo opens with kaffir lime and jasmine aromatics, leading to flavors of watermelon, bergamot, and crisp cucumber.

Crosby Street Hotel in Soho (NY)

We just came back from spending a few days at the Crosby Street Hotel in Soho.

The hotel is simply fabulous. The Staff could not be more friendly. The Rooms are so nicely decorated.

The location is fantastic–right next Balthazar Bakery. If you are looking for a hotel with a super friendly staff, well located, well priced for New York, and excellent restaurant I could not recommend this hotel more strongly.
