    Cafe Minerva
    Today's weather was just gorgeous in NYC and we decided to head down to West Village for a
    yummy brunch at Cafe Minerva, one of my hubby's favorite spots. Thankfully, it wasn't as
    crowded as we expected and we're seated right away. One of our favorite dish on the menu is their
    Buttermilk Pancakes... It's soft, fluffy, but chewy at the same time... I can have 2 plates of these
    pancakes in one seating... just delicious. We also ordered one savory dish, omelet with bacon. It
    was better than I had expected, just simple and well seasoned. Homemade granola with yogurt had
    good crunch and it was great addition to our sweet and savory dishes. Definitely a great spot to
    start our day, walking around, and just enjoying the weather.

Damien Hirst for Alexander McQueen

    Limited Edition Alexander McQueen Skull Scarves by Damien Hirst
    For the 10th anniversary of the McQueen Skull Scarf, they collaborated with Damien Hirst
    showcasing 30 unique designs adapted from his Entomology series. We decided to frame this piece
    for our living room... This looks way more impressive framed on the wall then it did when I tried
    it on. Loving the new look in our living room.

    Braised Short Rib Dimsum

    Butter Poached Lobster Fried Rice

    Soft Serve - Cereal Milk with crunch

    Momofuku Má Pêche
    Taking a little detour from travel to food... As we're expecting a little one to add to our family
    (due any day now), my husband and I decided to plan as many dates as we can. First place on our
    list, Momofuku Ma Peche in midtown. They recently changed their style of dining to dim sum like
    experience, but definitely not what you would expect from a typical dim sum spots in Chinatown.
    This is way more high-end and very momofuku style dim sum. They have a la carte menu to order
    from, but also have carts that goes around the dining room offering from raw bar, pork buns to
    desserts. Although the price is way higher than what you would pay at a Chinatown dim sum spots,
    but Momofuku food is always consistent and I would return for more Habanero fried chicken and
    their Lobster fried rice... mmm....
