Eegees in Tucson, AZ

Its a hundred degrees here in Tucson! What I've learned is that you cool down with an Eegees, a HUGE slushy drink that literally freezes your brain. Its the only way to beat the heat here, along with some COLD SNAP YOGURT (more on that later). But my absolute favorite thing about Eegees? Pizza Fries! Little itty bitty crinkle cut fries with pizza sauce, cheese and ranch! Gimme a break, I'm on vacay! ;)

New York City!

oh, we had such a fun time!! we hit up most of the places on the "to-eat list" but im still sad we didnt get the potato pizza! oh well, next time! theres a slew of pics, so im gonna let the photos do the talkin ;)

@macbar a very very cute place that we passed by, its super close to Cafe Habana,

so we went there twice too :)

Mac S'hroom. yum.

(around $7. i also highly recommend the Carbonara!)

@the burger joint. a hidden little gem! its inside le meridian hotel. right past the lobby theres a velvet curtain to the left and a completely tacky neon hamburger sign directs you to the happenin spot. i loved the fact that it was literally a wooden shack housed inside of the le meridian. genius!

DELICIOUS BURGER!

($5-10?)

@ THE BEST Halal Cart in the City!

53rd & 6th

Chicken over Rice

@dylans candy bar. every time i come here i get a bunch of stuff for jason cause hes a candy freak, and i take a picture of the same step. i love it!

@Rays Pizza in Times Square.

MMMMMM Momofuku MMMMMM

Cafe Habana NYC

Our faaaaavorite food so far! This corn can't be beat! I'm a self-professed corn freak (canned green giant niblets are my fave snack). This corn was amaaazing and easily beats every other corn on the cob. Cheesy, crunchy and a little heat from the cayenne powder, sooo deeelish. We said we wouldn't eat the same thing twice but we might just have to make an exception for this yummy corn!

"To-Eat" list for NYC

You know, with all the hoopla surrounding thanksgiving, christmas and new years it was really easy not to get excited for a NYC trip that me and my best friend, margarita had planned like 4 months ago. Now that all of that is over, i am UBER excited!!!! ITS 2 DAYS AWAY! this trip ended up being a little more special because she got engaged! i'm VERY excited for her and soooo happy that we planned our little getaway before she became a fiancee cause now she HAS to hang out with me for a weekend instead of looking at wedding venues :) its all part of the plan, hah! Most importantly, we get to eat our hearts out before she and i whip our butts in shape for her wedding. its a celebration of food & friendship!

So far our "to-eat" list consists of:

• Halal Cart (Chicken Over Rice) - 53rd & 6th
• Le Parker Meridien Burger Joint (Burger & Fries & Beer) - 119 W 56th
• Momofuku Noodle Bar (Pork Buns) - 171 1st Ave

Obviously, a very tentative list. and were only there for 4.5 days, so we'll see what happens. but im VERY VERY excited to eat all these little yummies and check every baby off this list. the list is just for my reference just in case i lose my handwritten list, phone or memory so if i lose those three, i'll still have this post. MMMmm. so excited.
