OF THE BACCARAT & CONEY ISLAND #NYC

Baccarat Bar ....swoon!!
My my what a difference a day makes, the night before we were drinking Pinot Noir in Baccarat goblets... Fast forward to the next morning we are on the F Train straight to Coney Island , riding the Cyclone!!
So much fun, we started with a few Brooklyn lagers, one was a summer batch and then the classic Mermaid Pilsner made by Coney Island Brewing Co.
So I have insert various pics of the Baccarat Bar itself, which was marvelous. And also of the giant Coney Island Rat found on a mural.
Awwww, but one thing that we missed was the New York Public Library , now that I would love to go to one day. But I can't complain everything on the list was accomplished and more!
We did visit the Chalk Point in Soho, where we went to the basement (yes Jeremy Piven does occasionally smoke a cigar there) and Sandy and I were left to "watch the bar" cause the Bartender had some biz to attend to. By the way the Bartender play the bass for this group called "The Harmonica Lewinskies" you can follow them on Twitter : @thelewinskies or just visit their website www.theharmonicalewinskies.com to find out when they are playing next. Sandy and I are official "groupies" ha.
Had lots of fun all-though was not able to "officially" meet Jeremy :(
So I'm leaving you with lots of pics  trying to re-coup from my drunken stupor w/ a big cup of tea and lots of Tums. Enjoy!!



Yes this is the Lobby .....ahhhhh

PERISCOPE (AGAIN*IN FOREST GUMP VOICE)

What a whirlwind it has been since Android has come on board... did you notice? My Goodness, my phone is blowing up (Non-Android) I had to literally turn off the sound notification. Thats how crazy it has been. Beware of falling into the PERISCOPE VORTEX-DISCLAIMER: YOU WILL NOT GET OUT OF IT!!
I knew the moment Howie Mandel was live phone pranking, that he would get sucked in. It is so bad and out of hand , that Howie was on a private jet and went into the Pilots cabin MID-FLIGHT!!! Please insert Bananas emoji . This is insane. Then throw in 2 escaped convicts, an early premiere of #OITNB , and we will never see the light of day. You know that you are addicted when:


  • You haven't left or care to leave your bedroom in 24 hrs.
  • Your reading pile is now literally sky high
  • You hit the map list on the Scope and now follow ppl in hot tubs in Iceland
  • You follow ppl from your hometown in South America
  • Your planning on how and when to Scope (constantly)
  • etc, etc,
You guys get it. But oh well its not going to stop, especially now that the kids are out of school, and I'm behind on True Detective / Mr. Selfridge/ An Idiot Abroad <--------highly recommended (poor Karl)/Silicon Valley/ Nurse Jackie/ Dance Moms/ The Layover with Anthony Bourdain +Bourdain on Tour 
Chef's Table/Black Mirror 
& DONT STOP THE SCOPE!!!!
LOVE YOU GUYS...

READ ALL ABOUT IT!! NEW PERISCOPE UPDATE !!!

mmmmkay, I'm sure I must have lost half of my blog audience just talking about Periscope. But yes here I go again! Excited because woke up this morning ... (I woke up like dis) Yes I always have to have a Beyonce reference  in there. So yes I woke up and there was a Periscope update on my App store!
Some of my peeps at Periscope were wondering what the update was about so here is what the folks at Periscope are saying- stating:

  • New Map section added to Periscope which lets you explore live broadcasts from around the world on a zoomable map. Tap "Map" from the "Global" section to access a live view of top location-enabled broadcasts from around the world.
  • Replays are now instantly available- no need to wait for a replay to upload after broadcasting (you may still delete a replay from the "home" feed).
  • You can now share the link to a broadcast you're watching on Twitter
  • And last but not least : Periscope is no localized in 29 languages: English, Japanese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Korean, Russian, Turkish, Portuguese, Dutch, Indonesian, Simplified Chinese? Danish, Finnish, Polish, Norwegian, Swedish, Thai, Arabic, Czech, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Malay, Romanian, Traditional Chinese?, Ukrainian & Vietnamese------->>>> WOAH


So there it is as of today, those of you who own an I-phone , UPDATE b!tches. For those Android users you are S.O.L (hehe just kidding) I have no clue what is going on in the Android world.
But how do I share a link to a broadcast that I am watching on Twitter....? Things that make you go hmmmmm..... Maybe someone can answer in my comments or tweet the answer to me.
Also, ppl that I absolutely adore joined and have actually scoped! +helloross / Howie Mandel/ Mr. Albert Brooks!! Omg Sabrina Soto & Dr. Rudy Tanzi!! AGGGHHH not to mention Ms O herself making Tibetan Dumplings.... I'm seriously in love with this app. Ok, ok I know Twitter is my first love. UMM but Twitter did buy Periscope (wink)
Thank you!
