After moving to New York City for school my friends and I decided a great way to get to know the city is to try a new restaurant every thursday night. It's also a place where I can to take a minute and reflect on the craziness of my new life and the lessons I'm learning along the way. We have been having so much fun meeting cute waiters, talking to other foodies and eating lots of fabulous food. Now about that gym membership...

School Spirit?
So being the year of learning how to enjoy my life in New York, I decided to become more involved at school, and what better way then to join clubs on campus. So I started with something a bit educational and signed up for a international relations course with a club component that involved traveling to Washington, D.C. with my new delegation. It's something I did in high school and loved so I figured I would give it a shot in college. First off, its way different on the college and international level and second off, it's so much harder! It was all worth it once we won a bunch of awards in D.C. and I got to meet some really interesting people and made some new friends on campus. The second thing I've done has been shocking, even for me. I might have join the typical college club, I'll give you two hints; its all about sisterly love and has to do with something greek. Yes, me of all people, before you roll your eyes, I already did that, once I started to learn more about it and the group I really started to like everyone involved and really enjoy going to all the events. Its only been three months and I'm already exhausted by everything, isn't it time for thanksgiving break yet?

A Foodies Kind of Club
Since my mom, grandma, and cousin were still in town, we decided to have a fun girls night at Ajna Bar, formally known as Buddha Bar. We walk down a long dark hall into the bar area, and waited for our table over cosmos, we were one of the first reservations of the night at 8 o'clock so it was a bit quiet, but the restaurant was so fun to walk around and look at, we didn't really mind. The restaurant is also used as club space on the weekends and for events so, its quite the scene after midnight. It is an Asian fusion restaurant, with a great sushi menu as well as some French influence. The food was pretty good, but due to its club atmosphere, hard to enjoy over the noise and hard to see due to the dark ambiance. Since it had just been my cousin's birthday they did a huge dessert with sparklers, which was really the highlight of the meal. Overall it was entertaining, but not delicious, I would definitely go back and sit at the bar and people watch though.
