Peter Cincotti @ The Living Room NYC

I just got home from the show of Peter Cincotti tonight at The Living Room NYC.
Just two months ago I saw him at the other place but this time the venue was smaller than last time and Peter and his band looked more relaxed I think.
And this time he was playing actual piano not the electronic piano!! And I really liked it!!!
Last time I had so many things going on and his songs made me cry a lot but this time I could just enjoyed his music.
Also there was one boy who was next to me and he was really interesting. We talked a lot before the show and after the show he talked to the crew from NBC who were shooting his show. And he got the opportunity to go their interview to Peter this weekend!!! OMG, I wish I could go there too!! But I had work so I couldn't go anyway but sometimes I see the people who can make the chances by themselves and actually take these chances. And I thought he was one of them. Anything can be happened in NYC. And anything can be made happened in NYC!!! That is what I think these days. But for that you need to be positive and aggressive!!!
And after the show another band started playing so I stayed just for one song and left, then when I exit the venue there was Peter talking with other band member and a few people... so I just waited till he finished conversation and asked him to take picture together!! I thought this is so Japanese. So I told him but he said "Don't worry, that's fine:)" with smile... how nice he was... but for that I couldn't say anything but "Thank you"!!!! I was too tired to my brain work from waking up 4am this morning. And last time I talked him when I got his CD with autograph I could talk to him more even there were many people but this time, when he was just in front of me one by one, I was too nervous to talk how I like his music like teenager girl!!! That was embarrassing a little bit and on my way home I regret why I didn't talk to him more!! Writing here what I think or what I feel is so easy for me but when something like this happen, I always become mush shyer than usual!!! It wasn't language problem but just about my personality!!! I wish I could be like the boy who was next to me today:)
Anyway I enjoyed a lot tonight show as usual!!! thank you so much, Peter!!!

Actually I like this picture!! I'm so creepy girl!!! lol

How can you be this much same face, Peter?? 

Batman ~The Dark Knight Rises~

Today I saw this movie...
The movie which everyone talk about right now in US... Batman!!!

Actually I had never seen Batman till last month. I accidentally saw two movies of badman on TV and my roommates told me I saw the worst part. So last weekend I saw Batman Begins and Joker on Saturday night and Sunday night one by one and it was tense but I enjoyed them.
I'm not used to watching action movie much so the fighting scenes were too much and that made me feel dizzy. Also the story was complicated and some of them didn't speak English clearly so I needed to really concentrate and I got head ache too but it was worth watching.
And today one of my friends asked me to go to see the newest one in the movie theater so I did it!!
Most of people who I asked their preference of these three badman movies answered me that they liked Joker one.
But for me I liked this Dark Knight the best. I didn't cry with the others but this made me even cry!!
The violence is yes, it's still too much for me but when I talk about story, I really liked it.

And even on weekday there were so many people came to see it and the next show had long line to get in there too!! I knew super hero movies are so popular in US but this is more than I thought and now I also know why it's popular!!! :)

Eclairs

Here in NY I don't see eclairs much like in Japan.
But sometimes I crave to eclairs.
So this time I made some at home.
It reminded me Chef Kawamichi from LCB Kobe.
I used to see his making eclair at work and that made it easier to make them:)

Brave

I saw "Brave" the other day.

Pixer movies always make me cry and this one was not the exception.
Around me there were so many girls around 8-9 years old but I think I was the one who was enjoying the most... :)
After that when I see the calendar at work with bear picture, it makes me smile.

And also I really enjoyed this short film " La Luna" shown before the Brave movie.

David Burke Kitchen

I had a chance to go to David Burke Kitchen the other day.
http://www.davidburkekitchen.com/
My friend and I tried to go their rooftop once but it was rainy day so we changed our plan.
And this time it was beautiful day so we tried!!
BUT it was so windy day... we had lunch rooftop anyway though... :)
But I saw the bread flew because of wind... lol

This is the building which has this restaurant.

(James Hotel)

Here is the basement floor which is inside restaurant.

This was gazpacho. Pretty!!

And this tacos were so interesting!!

There were tuna sashimi in the tacos with avocado and tobikko!!! 

Because or tobikko it was a little bit salty but it was so good!!!

salmon

burger with jalapeño fries

This was red velvet parfait. 

It was good but because of the wind a little bit too cold for me!! lol

And this was malt milk shake. 

Which made my friend cold too... lol

If it's nice weather I'm sure it's perfect place to have lunch or brunch!!

The sky was so beautiful but the clouds were moving so fast!!! 

Beach in NY

Last weekend I went to my coworker's birthday party at Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn.
I don't know why it is called "Manhattan" beach because it's in Brooklyn!!!
It was hottest day and the beach was so crowded!!! like Suma Beach in Japan...
(37℃ was the temperature when I got there!! )
But the water was still really cold in the ocean.

Nice catch!!

Having food and relaxed!!

Tres leche cake!! 

Playing soccer was pretty fun!!

When I got home, there was amazing sunset...

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Today was my off but I had no plan but outside was so nice weather and I thought I should do something!!
So I decided to have some sightseeing in NYC!!!
And first thing I'd been wanted to do is "going to Metropolitan Museum!!"
So I just did it!!
I've been there when I visited NYC more than 3 years ago and at that time I didn't have enough time to look around so I just did quick look as most of tourists do.
But this time, only thing I need to do today was just enjoy this museum!!

So what I started with was hotdog in front of the museum like Albert from movie "HITCH"...lol

I saw them in the subway several times. They can sing!!

I took the same picture 3 years ago. But it was cherry blossom season so the Central Park was all pink!!

Nothing changed but now it's green:)

I like the light from this ceiling.

Some of pictures that I like.

And the sky was just so beautiful!! 

Gorgeous weather!!

And amazing view from the rooftop of museum.

This is the ceiling that I like from outside!! 

So many people are coming inside and going outside!!

This was the work of new Japanese artist.

Most of Japanese works were really old but not this one!!

And here was my favorite place... 

Just there was sound of water floating.

This sound of water is so important for Japanese culture I think.

But I noticed it today when I came here in front of this work.

This sounds make me so comfortable and calm. 

I used to hear this sounds a lot in Japan but after I moved here I don't think there is no sounds like this around me. It was really interesting fact that I found!!! 

Thank you, Isamu Noguchi for making this work!!! 

And I found many i Pad in museum...

Interesting!!

You can see this by yourself with i Pad.

And these clouds were like paint!! 

I took the picture from here 3 years ago too. 

Did I get aged?? lol

What a interesting day it became. I'm glad that I revisited here. 

Many things are changed and many things are the same!!! 

Life is so interesting!!
