Lebanese Please.

by Jamila Pierre

My mother decided to take me to this interesting, sleek little Lebanese restaurant on 

686 3rd Ave (between 43rd St & 44th St) in NYC.

This place was too quaint, chic, and well thought out.

The concept of having a restaurant in a narrow lot, while still maximizing on the space, was just pure genius. what the tables lacked in width, they made up in length, and the seats had cubby holes for your belongings as to keep the space open and airy.

The back area was for reserved parties and the front was for walk-ins., the design of this place was as aesthetically pleasing as the food was delicious and fresh.

The appetizers were delicious bites that left you craving the fresh and robust flavors of what was in store for the entree. 

I ordered the roasted chicken, it came with fire roasted Veggies, a small mound of rice, and a spicy yogurt sauce....which if you know me you know I didn't eat any of that, spicy is not my friend.

My mother ordered the same but with the lamb, and we both paired the meal with some Lebanese beer.

Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board.

When I saw this vest in Rainbow I nearly died. It was just fabulous and I knew I couldn't leave that store with out purchasing it. I love how with patience and a good eye you can find unique pieces to go in your wardrobe without going BROKE! 

I paired it with some super casual jeans, my black beanie (which I hope you don't get tired of because it's a staple in my wardrobe), and a white and grey feather printed long sleeve I purchased from Walmart....Walmart.

I'm telling you man, DON'T SLEEP! 

Whatever it is you choose to buy, even if it's $2, style that BAD BOY like it's a million bucks. No one is looking at the price.....and if they are.... then they're missing the point.

You can buy clothes but you can't buy STYLE.
