Pipa





New York City restaurants never cease to amaze me. Just when you think you have discovered a beautiful restaurant and it cannot get any better....You find something else and of course, it is on a completely different level.

Dim lighting from antique chandeliers of incredible beauty, wooden tables set close to each other, all add into creating a sense of intimacy even when the room is full of people, music and a hundred chattering voices. The de-stressed walls, golden lights everywhere from the candles and their reflection in the flashes of jewellery worn by chic fashionistas is almost ethereal. My friend Leigh Ann decided to order the Cava sangria, or Spanish sparkling wine.
Golden and bubbly,
full of oranges
and apples.

We ordered 4-5 different tapas between us: Wild mushrooms in truffle oil, spicy carrots, a mushroom pizza and the ham croquettes. And before we knew it it was almost midnight and time to leave...
