Five Friday Favorites | 85 | Perfume Making Class in NYC, Bad Roman Restaurant, HITT Style Gym & More

1.          Olfactory- Instead of a gift for Valentine’s Day, think of an experience you can buy a loved one. My girlfriends and I recently made our own perfumes at Olfactory. To make a custom perfume, you smell six base scents and then you slowly add one or two scents on top of it with the help of a professional. 

2.          The Rickey- This cocktail bar is dark and moody. It’s perfectly tucked away in midtown Manhattan. It’s a great date night spot.

3.          Bad Roman- Okay, I know what your thinking- a trendy restaurant with tons of photos online and beautiful decor does not bode well for good food… but let me just say, my low expectations were exceeded tenfold. The famous lemon cheesecake is not to be missed.

4.          The Six Triple Eight- I am not a movie gal, I much rather watch TV, but this movie was brilliant.

5.          Sweat 440- I joined this 40 min HITT class style gym at the end of November and am really enjoying it. I hate working out when I have to think about what exercises to do. This class shows you exactly what to do in videos on the screen in front of each station and you get a killer burn.

Five Friday Favorites | 84 | Wine Bar, Murder Mystery Book, NYC Rooftop Bar & NYC Tapas Restaurant

1.          AOC- We found our new fav French wine bar on the Upper East Side! We even spoke to the bartender in French.


2.          Sofitel Philly- This hotel has a beautiful lobby and bar. The rooms were slightly updated but still have some work to do. It is in a great location.


3.          Return of Ellie Black- I’m on a reading kick! This book was creepy but so good. It definitely reminded me of the crime podcasts I love to listen to, so I wouldn’t recommend it before bed, but it really was so well done and kept me guessing. 


4.          Salinas- This moody tapas restaurant had a line out the door! 

5.          Riff Raff at Virgin Hotels- This must be a new hotel and new rooftop bar because it was pretty empty on a Saturday night. But I won’t gate keep because this spot was so good! The drinks were delicious and the views are gorgeous. Also, the playlist was top notch.

Five Friday Favorites | 83 | Pasta Making Class, Upper East Side Restaurants, Chicago Restaurant & More

  1. Aunt Jake’s Pasta Making Class- We had so much fun at this class. For $60 you get to make a ball of dough (that you can take home and cook yourself) and about a pound of pasta that you cut into shapes but to be cooked at home. You also get a 3-course meal (not with the pasta you make). But the food we ate was delicious. As was the pasta that we had a few days after. 
  2. Gazette- This little restaurant on the Upper East Side has delicious cocktails!! The dinner menu looks really good too. 
  3. Mr. & Mrs. Smith on Netflix- This action-packed show is really fun to watch. It gets a little repetitive but still entertaining.
  4. Portillo’s- If you’re in the Chicago-land area you have to go to Portillo’s and get an Italian beef sandwich, dry, with sauce on the side. Don’t forgot a slice of chocolate cake for dessert.
  5. Botte- This spot has delicious pasta and Italian food. It’s a very cute date night spot.
