Lunch at Brio's
Mommy And son date.
Any time we hit up WestMed at Ridge Hill Mall in Yonkers, we try to feel better after the doctor visit with a yummy lunch at Brio's.
I was very sad to see that Brio's no longer their great lunch special ( previously I had the shrimp scampi over angel hair for 7.95)
Now they have their standard lunch menu which is the price point is pretty much the same as their dinner menu
I decided to get the BBQ chicken pizza from the Primi section @ 7.95.
How was it? It was ok. Nothing to brag about. It had a bit more quick than what I expected, but still not what I wanted.
I ask the waitress if I could order a plain pizza, which I have tried from my kids dishes, but you cannot order unless is for a child.
Why don't they have plain pizza on the menu ?
I would have prefer to pay the $8 for that.
Then I ordered a Mojito. Horrible. The wateriest Mojito I ever had. Didn't even drink it.
My son ordered Mac and cheese. I suppose it was good because he devoured it. It looked ok. Too creamy for me. It almost looked like pasta with Alfredo sauce.

NYC MTA : construction work in midtown during hours
It's the most expensive bus ride in the system at $7.50/ ride.
No monthly discount/pass available.
The only bus not to have tinted windows.
If the bus is not there at the scheduled time, there's no real way for the riders to five know if:
They missed it ( bus driver was early )
It's late
Or it's a no show.
Customer service closes at 4.
New drivers (or backup drivers) by pass stops. This is mostly because the stops are never where the bus stop sign is located. So, if you are a new rider, you will most likely also miss the bus your first time because you won't know where to stand.
So, yes,lots of negatives. But for me the positives outweigh the negatives.
So I keep on riding.
But today the MTA really good me upset.
They are doing construction work on Madison Avenue, during Rush hour.
To catch our bus we had walk to the third lane.
There's dust all over from the machines been used. And the noise is horrible.
Who's bright idea was to have this hazardous construction site ?
Here are some images.

Watch from the past
A couple of months ago, I put it away in a bag of accessories that I am taking to a Consigment shop. I forgot about it and I am glad.
I received a magazine from Nordstrom and guess what ?? Anne Klein has released the same watch again !!!
What's different ??
Mine is silver tone. The new one is gold-tone.
Mine says "AK Anne Klein". The new one just says "Anne Klein".
I am so happy I didn't sell it!!
Here are the pics from the Nordstrom magazine and my watch
