Rivaling anything your mom has said about Negrils, Miss Lily’s is the “It” Jamaican spot downtown. It’s where the men and women about town go for the reggae tunes of my childhood and the dancehall riddims of today. Order that with a side of salt fish fritters and a run-in meeting of all your fave people.
New York Times has taken notice and paid homage by highlighting the ladies of Ms. Lily’s. Get into the editorial beauty shots and the styling in everything from Prada-this to Alexis Bittar-that.

Last year this time, my boss suprised me with this holiday bonus that I thanked him for with a bottle of wine. This year [pending the bonus...*side eye*] I’m planning on something for everyone in the office [it's a small company].
I’ll be hunting down these sanding sugars for glittery cookies and cutting down the prep time with Pillsbury cut and bake sugar cookie dough. Sounds amaze, huh? Then I’ll make individual packages…wait! how should I package them???

I watch Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives almost every night while I’m up plugging away at whatever. And finally a place featured in NYC that I actually want to run out and visit, Mama’s Food Shop.
It could be that they specialize in southern food and I’ve had an unshakable craving for fried chicken AND hot wings. Think I might fix 50% of this foodie itch tomorrow!
