gotta try it - dogmatic

one of my new fav nyc eateries: dogmatic.  it's in union square, and so far this is the only location.  so for all of your out of towners...you'll have to hit it up next time you're here.  

now at first glance it may sound absurd..."fancy street food".  well it's amazing.  they take mini baguette bread, toast it from the inside and wrap it around a tasty sausage (aka hot dog).  the flavors are simply tantilizing!  

sausages range from: lamb, chicken, pork, or asparagus (not really sausage but a vegetarian option)  the sauces are to die for, horseradish, spicey jalapeno cheddar, pesto and a minty one too.  the bread is toasty and crusty on the outside and chewy and delish on the inside.  

each "sandwich" is also served with a side.  i had the mini baked mac & cheese.  holy yum batman.  crusty baked cheese and yummy noodles.  simply perfect.

they also specialize in homemade "sodas".  i had a coconut one which was more like a dessert.  sweet coconut milk, a hint of spice and bubbly soda.  delectable!  my friend meredith had a raspberry one which was oh so refreshing.  

the ambiance is uber cute.  very modern, clean, minimalist.  my favorite thing was the large island family style table with chairs that slide out from underneath!  if you are in union square you have to try it!  you will not be disappointed!

went on a walk...ended up at a reunion

so i decided to go on a walk around my neighborhood...up broadway and around cathedral parkway, and mosey-ed through the columbia university campus.  turns out there was a columbia graduates class reunion..ha!  i may have stuck out like a sore thumb...but i tried to harness my "college kid" energy and seemed to fit in just fine...

i didn't really crash it, just walked by and of course took a picture on my phone :)

this is why i love living in new york, you never know what's just around the corner!

new new new

so within the last few weeks, i have moved to a new apt, in a new city, and will be starting a new job...life is crazy!  

in a couple weeks i will be starting a new job at sony music as an office assistant at a recording studio in times square.  i cannot be more excited!  this was a job i was interviewing for when i accepted my current (leasing office) job.  they took about a month to make a decision and just offered me this job about a week ago.

my new apt in manhattan is fabulous.  i'm loving my new digs and love being on the upper west side.  i've been able to discover some great new places around my neighborhood including: riverside park and the hudson beach cafe.  i laid out in the park and tanned on memorial day it was gorgeous.  i also found this gem of a cafe right on the parkway overlooking the hudson river.  the waiters are cute and the food is delish!

soon some friends will be coming out to visit me in the big city!  i cannot wait!  my place is steps away from the hampton's jitney bus stop...so naturally we want to hop on and check out the exclusive hamptons!!! :)  more blogging to come...
