Batman in the Flatiron District

Posted on by

After his “batmobile” broke down, Batman abandoned it.

He Walked hurriedly in the middle of traffic

Blowing a whistle, demanding the cars to stop.

Pedestrians thought at first he was the police, but then, looked up and it was Batman!

Batman?

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Gustiamo

Posted on by

What do you want for Valentine’s Day? John asked his girlfriend.

Don’t get me “Hershey’s Candy”, it’s common.

Well, what do you want?

Something different. I don’t want the chocolate candy that comes in the heart shape box and a teddy bear. Neither do I want fake flowers or balloons that will inflate. That’s typical.

Well, baby what do you want? Never mind, you don’t know what you want. I know what to get you.

On February 14, John plans to treat his love a little differently. He will surprise her with a beautifully crated rustic wood crate filled with Gustiamo’s products that will contain:

Gianduja – Chocolate and Hazelnut Spread by La Molina

Sant’Eustachio Coffee

“Coralli di Kamut” Cookies

But to show his love that he is really thinking, he will purchase some rich Italian chocolate by La Molina.  For no chocolate is like La Moina’s chocolate. Many of La Molina’s products use unusual flavor combinations inspired by the Tuscan food tradition: blended dark chocolate with peanuts, mint or orange and nougat with hazelnut. LA MOLINA ‘s chocolates are of exceptional quality… pure chocolate aroma, smooth round taste, simply guilty pleasure. And each box of Chocolate only 12.25 or less at Gustiamo.com

Be different this Valentine’s Day. Shop Gustiamo.com.


I Wish you were Here, My Love

I wish you were here my love, close by.

It is now February  and soon it will be Valentine.

oh, how I wish you were here my love, so we could walk hand in hand.

I’ve never been so lonely, some days I can not even stand

to cook or clean the house alone.

For my mind just wander away from me and next thing I know,

the food is burning or the house work never gets done.

But, since you’re not here my love, look in the mail for this gift from Gustiamo to surely come.

Pictured here is the following:

Gianduja – Chocolate and Hazelnut Spread by La Molina in Tuscany, nutella for grown-ups, made with top-notch cocoa and prized Tonda Gentile hazelnuts from Piemonte, a rich velvety cream, addictive, it won’t last long…

Sant’Eustachio Coffee roasted on wood logs in the legendary Roman Caffe’ near the Pantheon, where Romans in the know go for a smooth and round coffee cup, the best in town.

Wholesomely delicious “Coralli di Kamut” Cookies are peerlessly home-baked by Di Ciaccio Pasticcieri Artigiani in Gaeta, wonderful dipped in your coffee or with a smidge of Gianduja cream.

Kate Spade

The use of colors is blunt, magical and loud. Everything is upbeat and bold.

That’s Kate Spade.

Not embarrassed about anything, the more color the more charisma.

It’s so Kate Spade.

Every color in the right spot. Nothing tacky or out-of-order.

I walked into Kate Spade at 135 5th avenue and my day was better. The color lifted my spirits. Nothing was down about this shop. Everything was up and popping out to you. Reaching out to you.

My smile really came when I walked towards the back of the store and saw Fred Astaire, Audrey Hepburn and Kay Thompson on the screen. Yep, clips of Funny Face was playing. I looked around a little longer and saw interesting photography books and one book on Fred Astaire.

Kate Spade became my highlight of the day. I was glad that Michael George of Michael George New York, a highly sought after retail designer based in New York,  advised me to visit Kate Spade.

If you need to cheer up in this snowy weather, pay Kate Spade a visit!
