The other day (on my to Dominique Ansel Kitchen), I stumbled upon this card shop in the West Village that I'd never even heard of (and, if you know me, you should be well aware that I'm a dominant figure in the greeting-card-store scene*). They've had a storefront since 2005 and surprise, surprise - it's great!
They sell a lot of independently published greeting cards (ie. the best ones), some stationary, wall decor, etc. If you find yourself on Christopher Street, you should definitely stop inside.
*Yes, there is a greeting-card-store scene and no I'm not embarrassed to be in it.
If you can think of three or more shows you like to occasionally watch on Food Network - YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS SHOW. (If any of those Food Network shows you watch center around Guy Fieri... yikes. May want to re-think some life choices.)
Quick summery? Each episode of the series profiles a single world-renowned chef. That's it. That may not sound extraordinary, but it's shot so beautifully and it's so well done - I can't get enough of it. And I promise you that I don't feel this way based solely on the fact that I've been to one of the restaurants that they do an episode on. WATCH THIS SHOW!
Dominique Ansel is famous for his cronuts, but this summer his burrata ice cream is the thing that has captured my heart. Here are the two current flavours available (in soft serve) at Dominique Ansel Kitchen.
I was so excited to try this that I had planned it all out. I intended on eating it slow and lovingly but since it's soft serve and the summertime, I needed to lick fast. And even as it melts through your hands and onto whatever you're wearing, it's still worth it. It really f-ing tastes like burrata. What the hell? Amazing. Such a good day. I even met the man himself!
He was nice as hell and he's a genius. If you find yourself in the West Village, you gotta try this soft serve.
“The best splash pad in Mississauga is at City Hall. You know where they have the ice rink in the winter? Yeah, there. And it’s pretty fun for adults, too.”
This is probably the best nail polish supply store IN MISSISSAUGA. Check it.
One thing to note: they don't sell any Essie products. I'm not really sure why, but maybe it's 'cause they're so OPI-dedicated? In any case, I've always disliked Essie (with the exception of their base and top coats), so this place is my Xanadu. It's located at 3663 Mavis Road and you can see their hours over here.
