The craziest bike I have ever seen....

Unfortunetly, for the owner of this bike...he had a flat. Fortunetly for me, I was able to snap a photo because no one would belive me if I told them. This guy had animal skins hanging from his bike. Racoon, Fox and Rabbit. He also had Christmas ornements, butterflies, alligators, statues, etc, etc. The craziest bike I have ever seen spotted on the corner West Street and Murray.

Ghostbusters!

This has nothing to do with food, dogs or music, but it seemed only right that we checked out the firehouse featured in Ghostbusters, which is right in the heart of Tribeca on North Moore Street (14 N. Moore St).

French Fries!

For lunch/dinner on this LaZy Sunday we ventured into Chelsea (21st and 7th ave) to eat at Le Zie. A small Italian trattoria which always delivers when it comes to quality, service and taste. This is my 4th time dining at Le Zie, but this was my first time eating outside. The only issue with that was the subway below every 4 minutes or so. Besides that, delicious food and great doggie watching! www.lezie.com

Italian Dessert In My Belly

Gelato, or the plural Gelati, is Italian ice cream made from milk and sugar, combined with other flavorings and boy is it delicious. One of the best places to get Gelato in NYC is located in lower Manhattan inside the World Financial Center at Ciao Bella Gelato http://www.ciaobellagelato.com/. You can also find it in the freezer section at your local super market. I enjoyed the chocolate chocolate cookie. A girl has to cheat sometimes!

Jay to the Nash!

NYC Welcome Jay Nash!
I not only had the pleasure to see Jay Nash perform at the Canal Room on Wednesday, but he is also the newest client of Big Picture Media. Nash recently signed to Bonded Records (Between The Trees) and has a record coming out in October featuring Sara Bareilles (I'm Not Gonna Write You A Love Song). Check out songs from Jay Nash here: www.myspace.com/jaynash

Downtown NYC River To River Festival

One of the best things about New York is that you never know where your night will take you, accidentally. Well, tonight I stumbled upon the Downtown NYC River To River festival and caught a performance by Kode9 / Juakali / Dub War / Forward Motion Theater at the Winter Garden in Battery Park. For more information on upcoming River To River shows this summer, click here: http://www.rivertorivernyc.com/events/.

Here is the best photo I could get!

German Brothers

Two brother Weimaraner puppies I met on the corner of Chambers and Murray.

Sleepercar on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Hi! Below are photos from soundcheck of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, featuring Sleepercar! I got these snapped right before I was told to put my camera away.

Check out Sleepercar at www.myspace.com/sleepercarwesttexas and make sure to check them out on tour with the Old 97's!

Chambers and Murray Street Kids!

I met these two kids on the corner of Chambers and Murray street! The bassett hound was around 7 years old and gave me a kiss on the cheek. The frenchie was a little stand-off ish, but we too became best friends.

Carmines Times Square

I ate at Carmines on 44th and 7th this weekend. http://www.carminesnyc.com/ This is the cold antipasto. It featured grilled zuchini, focaccia bread with red peppers, goat cheese and eggplant, seafood salad, white bean dip, eggplant tappenade, prosciutto, provolone and ham.

Not pictured: Rigatoni Pomodoro and Chicken Marsala!

Upside Down Birthday!

What you are seeing below is my view of Christine's birthday plate! For her 28th birthday we went to AquaGrill on Spring and 6th Ave. We shared the red snapper and the halibut. Both were DELICIOUS! We finished our meal with the chocolate sampler plate shown below. The chef was kind enough to write Happy Birthday in dark chocolate. A girls dream come true!
If you are looking for amazingly fresh seafood in NYC...Hit up AquaGrill. Call in advance for a reservation. http://www.aquagrill.com/

Buster in a cab!

Buster took his first NYC cab ride this weekend when we went to meet up with the rest of the Boston Terrier group at Thompson Square Park in nYc! Buster was great in the cab as you know he loves road trips. Sadly, once we got to the dog park all he wanted to do was hump every dog in sight. Maybe it was because he was the largest boston terrier there out of 67, but people weren't happy. Needless to say, after he put a dirty stick on a girls lap and she got pissed, we left and dog park day was over.

Molly got hit by a car....

Just kidding!!!!! Molly is taking a nap!

Gus!

This is my nephew Gus the Shar-Pei. He can be a little crazy at times, but has a good heart.

We even have a song for him: "He licks with the force of a thousand elephants, dances with the grace of a hundred flamingos"

Dearest Angel

Even though Angel has passed, she will always be in my heart.

That on the couch is Clarice...she misses Angel too.

Caprese at La Mela in Little Italy, NYC

This is a must do if traveling to NYC and you want to experiance family style italian food. La Mela's on Mulberry Street between Grand and Broom. Mangia!

Window view.

It's almost too good to be true...but it is true. Very true.

Night out with Danielle!

Is their something on my nose?

Okay, Okay...

I know this isn't a dog, or food or music, but I befriended this kitty while in Cocoa, Florida this week. Meow.

New Stuff on the Horizon
