Restaurant Week-Pt 1: Aquavit



Jarvis and I have made a few reservations for Restaurant Week. My mom came to town today so we had to celebrate and kick off Resto Week with her! Our first stop was at Aquavit.
We were hoping for a Chef Marcus Samuelsson sighting--but gladly willing to settle for good food and convos. The restaurant is elegantly simple-the entrance is barely detectable.

Our 3 courses were delicious. I had the butternut squash soup, the swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and ligonberries and The Most Amazing Dessert--The Artic Circle. The food was so delicious and we toasted champagne to MLK's memory and Obama's future. We had a super cute waitress--a singer/actress ( I know that probably goes without saying).

BTW--have you seen these rain boots? They combine everything that is good-knee-high boots-crocodile-JIMMY CHOO...need I say more?

Website in Progress!

I am building a new website for Alysia Sings!

www.AlysiaLee.com

Building a website is a lot of work! I will be sure to post when it is completed. But check it out and let me know what you think.

2 days until Obama takes office.....it is absolutely still unbelievable that America has gathered together and demanded CHANGE!!! So PROUD to be an American.

Eartha Kitt-we will miss you.......meow!

Sadly, Eartha Kitt left us recently. Her unique voice, VAMPY style mixed and tounge-in-cheek self-awareness made her a legend over 50 years ago. And she played a horny cougar in Boomerang-and that is just classy! Click here for that classic scene...
