neon pink in the city

| Fell in love with this hat. Good news - she made it and would gladly make one for me. Bad news -she sells it for $480.00 -- I need to learn to knit. |
N.Y. -- Fall foliage did not disappoint
 |
| Central Park was just alive with color. It was worth braving the cold and pulling on 5 layers of sweaters and leggings to walk through the park. |
While in New York
Finally made it to ChikaLicious, a three-course dessert joint in the East Village that I have been wanting to try. We had the dessert before going to dinner which I think was a good decision. There are three courses, you choose one and the other two are chef's choice. She is three feet away from you the entire time so you see everything as its made. You also have the opportunity to ask questions if you so desire. My most favorite was the cheesecake, which was unlike any other cheesecake I've had before.
"The specialty at this popular, ingeniously realized niche restaurant is dessert and dessert only. Most of the action takes place behind the bar, where the pastry chef and co-owner, Chika Tillman, and her assistants whip up their creations—sorbet floating in sparkling wine, melting wheels of fromage blanc “cheesecake” on great blocks of ice—with the diligent intensity of world-class sushi chefs. On weekend nights, the line can snake out the door and down the block".

| The best seats in the house are at the bar, where you get to watch Chika, one of the owners and the dessert master, prepare your plates with such grace and precision. |
 |
| I forgot what this was but it was good. It was intensely flavorful and the two flavors together just exploded in your mouth |
 |
| Fromage Blanc Island "Cheese Cake" |
 |
| The sweet Potato Mousse Napoleon with Pecan Wafer and Orange-Cranberry Sorbet |
 |
| They look like simple little cookies but everything was so deeply flavorful and soft and melt in your mouth delicious |
