One of the reason to love New York is that twice a year, in January/February and June/July, there is a unique opportunity to experience some of New York City's finest restaurants for a fraction of the usual price. It's time again for that wonderful New York City tradition -- Restaurant Week! This winter, we get to enjoy another extended Restaurant Week and dine at Manhattan's trendiest and best restaurants from January 25 to February 7, 2010.
Last week, we have triedBobby Flay's MESA Grill, it was a delicious experience, and today, we went to Blue Water Grill, which is in Union Square New York and it is a well known seafood restaurant and we are here to share our experience.
New York's top restaurants serve three-course lunches for $24.07(in a cute play on 24/7, though discounts are not good on Saturdays, though some restaurants are offering deals on Sundays) and three-course dinners for $35.00 (beverage, tax and gratuity not included).

One of the reason to love New York is that twice a year, in January/February and June/July, there is a unique opportunity to experience some of New York City's finest restaurants for a fraction of the usual price.

We booked ourselves to Bobby Flay's MESA GRILL in Flatiron district and ordered ourselves some delicious lunch. (Menu Here). For appetizer, we had roasted Cauliforwer + Green Chile Soup, Main course we had smoked chicken and black bean quesadilla and Grill Mahi Mahi with creamy green chile rice. Deserts were Pinapple buttermilk upside down cake and chocolate peanut butter flan.
New York's top restaurants serve three-course lunches for $24.07(in a cute play on 24/7, though discounts are not good on Saturdays, though some restaurants are offering deals on Sundays) and three-course dinners for $35.00 (beverage, tax and gratuity not included).
Few days ago I blogged about that I am going to start some video blogging for 2010. And to challenge myself to keep on track, I started a video blogging group here in Active Rain. I invited some of my bestest buddies a.k.a. ActiveRain associates to join the group and also start video blogging. JOIN THE Video Blogging group here (http://activerain.com/groups/VideoBlogs).
For those of you who does not know where to start or may be camera shy... here are some tips:
1) Maybe invest a SONY Flip Camera - For $200 (some other websites may be cheaper), you can take High definition videos of your listings, yourself introducing the listings, or sit infront of the laptop and record few minutes of your market report.
2) No need to have a script, just be yourself. Have some ideas of what you want to say, but no need to write them down and memorize them. people rather have you be yourself than reading off some scripts that is rehearsed. If you make a mistake, it is fine, it is really not that serious.
3) No one is going to see that extra pimple or wrinkle that you want to hide! If you do two takes, that is plenty, pick one of those two takes! It is unneccessary to take 10 videos or more, the idea is to do short informative videos and post them! You will get better at it.
4) Have fun with yourself. Start taking videos of random things and experiment. Don't be afraid to make a mistake, it is ok to be a perfectionist, but we all know that no one is perfect!
