Time to put up the decorations

Remember when everyone used to decorate their college dorm rooms with Christmas lights and it was cool and hippie? Today I put up the Christmas lights on our sixth floor balcony, I mean our fire escape overlooking Chinatown. I’m not a hardcore or for that matter even vaguely enthusiastic patron about holiday decorating (although I have a secret stash of Christmas ornaments… Christmas ornaments are the neatest doodads ever after wind-up toys) but putting up lights on the balcony is preeetty! It’s actually not really for the holiday season that I put the lights up, since I’m going to keep the lights up all year round. I just put them up today because I thought it would be a nice picture to take with the slate sky in the background.

Brunch at L’Orange Bleue

A cozy and delicious place on Grand and Crosby street, these are coat hooks at the entrance of the restaurant. This is a really nice place to have brunch, I recommend the brioche french toast with vanilla sauce…. so yummy. I know I sound like a wannabe sophisticated yuppie but who cares, this place is good and they serve brunch till 4 PM. Not pricey and even though the patrons are yuppies and hipsters the service is down to earth, friendly and let you eat in civility without pressure. They have outdoor seating that looks out to the street like a real parisian cafe and supposedly belly dancers in the evening during dinner, but I haven’t been there for that meal yet. Besides the food they have a really nice color palate that accent the earthy decor… like orange, pink and blue, but used in a classic and poignant manner that is far from an obnoxious American Apparel store.
