BEST CUBAN SANDWICH IN THE CITY

Two words. Cafe Habana. Though it is not your traditional Cuban sandwich, it is unquestionably delicious. Cafe Habana is at the corner of Prince and Elizabeth Street. Not only is it a cool area to stroll around by you will find that Cafe Habana is an attraction in itself, and for good reason. The Cuban is not the only good thing...go for the Jarritos, grilled corn Mexican style (with chili powder, lime and cheee, or a good old cafe con leche. There is a sit down restaurant or a take out outpost (and by take out they mean eat it on the curb out front). http://www.cafehabana.com/index.htm

OH HOW I LOVE TO WINE.....

Always in search of new wine bars, as wine is one of my favorite things in this world. My husband's co-worker gets props for this one...a little place called Felice Wine Bar. 60th Street and 1st avenue in the Upper East Side. Candle lit, romantic Italian goodness. http://www.felicewinebar.com/index.php. Upon recommendation from the bar tender we ordered Hauner Salina Rosa and it was perfect! http://www.felicewinebar.com/index.php

SCARVES...MY FAVORITE ACCESSORY!

A scarf can serve many functions: It can add style to a plain outfit, keep you warm, block the wind, cover your hair in the rain, and so much more! What I like best about it, is that it is appropriate in any season. My favorite season for a scarf however, is fall. I recently discovered the scarves from Leigh & Luca. So beautiful and for those of you who do not know how to wear a scarf, picture diagrams and directions are provided for many different ways on their site! My favorite scarf if the stone and bungee ombre dyed scarf with attachable chain!

If you are looking for a cheaper option purchase a scarf in China Town or Forever 21 and attach a chain necklace. However, I do find this one pretty darn cool :)

HOW COOL IS MADEWELL?

Prides themselves in jeans but has so many other cool things! They also have seven other labels such as Hi-Line which is “timeless, perfect-fitting tees and tanks.” Also cool is Wanderlust http://www.madewell.com/shopwanderlust.jsp, a line from Cambodia that they partnered with that creates items that I love like this scarf.

I have been obsessed with cardigans lately and on the hunt for a red striped one. I finally found one at Madewell. I can not wait to pair it with my skinny dark wash jeans, white v neck pocket T, and my over the knee Frye boots for fall!

TIES....NOT JUST FOR MEN, THANK GOODNESS!

There is no better way to mix feminine and masculine in your outfit than by slapping on a tie! Shop the look at jcrew.com.

BE ACTIVE

Lately I have felt the need to find a hobby that my husband and I can share. The two requirements are that we both like to do it and that it is an active sport. I have gone through many ideas from hiking, biking, kayaking and even golf. Then I came across the rock climbing gym at the Manhattan Plaza Health Club http://www.mphc.com/pages/facilities/climbing-gym.php. We have been rock climbing before and really enjoyed it. We are going to try it out this weekend. I hope that this can be just what I have been looking for!

BEAN BOOTS AND L.L. BEAN SIGNATURE

L.L. Bean has been a staple since 1912. One of the trademark products is the Bean boot.

 The great thing about this boot is that it is and always will be classic. For the North East it is a necessity and everywhere else a fashion statement. I can not wait to rock a pair this winter. While you are deciding which bean boots are right for you, check out the rest of the L.L. Bean signature site (just click on the L.L. Bean Signature logo above).

 With the signature line L.L. Bean took what people loved most about their company and updated it with a modern twist. About time!

KEFI

Kefi,http://www.kefirestaurant.com/, one of the best meals I have ever had in this city. Located between 84th and 85th on Columbus in the Upper West Side. Immediately upon entering I felt I was in a Greek Taverna in Santorini. The food was sensational and possessed so much flavor! Try the spread appetizer, the Caviar is outstanding! The wine list has an extensive selection of Greek wines, and though Greece is known for it’s white wines the red we ordered (Skouras) was so satisfying! I look forward to going back many more times!
