This has been on my wish list for a while and this weekend while browsing the clearance aisle of Walmart, I found it for $10! On the Belkin Website it's $24.99.
What a deal.

"Travel is changing. The world has grown smaller, more accessible, yet
homogenized and less exotic. Today's travelers want to get beyond the
superficial, the mass-produced, the mass-consumed, and the mass-experienced.
They look for the authentic in people, places, and things. Introducing AFAR

This was as close as she could get to an Ivy Vine.
Hermosa Beach is was like another world.
This is my favorite picture from the entire trip.
Us being silly in the Hills.
My makeover

The next stop on the list was a place called PopBar . I was a little bummed to find this. They were closed for Yom Kippur.Instead we opted for Grom.
I wasn't impressed.
After a much needed nap. It was time to head out again.
Destination: Little Italy for
San Gennaro
There were too many people to really enjoy it.
I did manage to finally taste one of these.
Deep Fried Oreo
See ya in Feb NYC 2011.

After a good and I do mean GOOD nights sleep at the Moderen, it was time to let New York see me. ( Trip Advisor Review)
Lucky for us there was a festival on the next block.So you know what that means?
Arepas
The first few bites were really good, but it left a werid after taste.
Next, Grilled Corn
There is no pretty way to eat this.On your mark,
Get set...
DONE!
Next was a place I have read about on a few blogs. A line is a good sign.
Very simple menu.
The Artichoke slice was superb! The Crab slice not so much. It was REALLY fishy. It wasn't bad, but I'd have to eat one or the otherNot both during the same meal.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing FELA on Broadway. It was like nothing I had ever seen. Before coming to Broadway, I wasn't familiar with Fela Anikulapo Kuti. However, after doing some research, his story is one I will never forget.
The singing, flipping, chanting, even the pop-lock and dropping was on point. It was witty. It was socially conscious. It was seductive. It was energetic. The set was chromatic, yet very simple. And that soundtrack...... I have listened to TWICE since I've been back. I will admit, I was a little disappointed when we didn't get to see Patti LaBelle. None the less, the show was an A+ all the way! Recently, I read on Shadow and Act that his story maybe coming to the big screen soon. Looking forward to it.
Other than the soundtrack to Sarafina! (don't judge me) and The 2010 World Cup Soundtrack, I didn't listen to alot of Afrobeat. Does Wale count? "My sweetie" is my JAM! However, these days it's slowly making it's presence known on the play list.
Thanks for reading, Mer!

A few months ago, I get a call from my friend Monya, "Mer, I've just won a trip to New York to see FELA on Broadway and you are going!" Now, I am not sure if you have seen the movie Baby Mama, but in the Birthing Class scenes the character Angie (Amy Poehler) makes this hilarious sound, "OoOoooo"! That is sound I made in Walmart. (Click the link. You will laugh too!)
Before I post anything about the trip itself, I want to publicly tell her, THANK YOU. She had a laundry list to choose from, but I was given the golden ticket!
