I don’t have an official New York bucket list– although I think I should definitely make one so I don’t forget anything. I’ve been wanting to go to Penelope for the longest time, and I finally did! Penelope doesn’t take reservations so it can be practically impossible to get in. Early dinner was a good time to go. I had the fish and chips, which were totally amazing. The brunch menu looks excellent, too, but I’ve heard the wait can be more than an hour. Way too long for me.
I love exploring new places– do you have any recommendations for things to do in New York?

P.S. My friend Tiffany (a majorly talented singer/songwriter, check out her single Marching Orders) needs your help! She has an amazing opportunity to perform at Afropunk’s Battle of the Bands, but only if she makes the top 16! Vote here and please spread the word! And even if you don’t vote, I swear you won’t regret watching the video for Marching Orders.
Any time someone starts talking about fancy, hard-to-get-into restaurants, I immediately and without fail think of American Psycho. “Why aren’t we at Dorsia?” I guess that doesn’t reflect too well on me, though. You dress much more nicely than Patrick Bateman!
Alex, I love this dress! I’ve not been to NYC in over 5 years but these photos are really tempting me to make a trip :)
I’ve heard of that place… didn’t know it was so hard to get into! Now I want to go haha
I think it depends on the day of the week, but brunch wait is supposed to be killer unless you go at like 10am. Maybe we can go for your blogiversary!
Wow what a fab leopard print dress- I just love the pink belt with it too! I love discovering new restaurants esp when they are chi chi and hard to get into!
Love the dress, and good for you for crossing something off your bucket list.
(i need to work on mine, in every respect)
glad the restaurant lived up to the hype!
what a cute little dress! I agree with having a bucket list…at least for the town that you live in…because sometimes we don’t really get to go experience everything the city/town that we live in!!
I just have to sit down and write it out! I’m constantly forgetting about things. Also, I want to write my sartorial bucket list as well. It’s basically aspirational at this point, but I can dream!
