one that talks about the snow ... like everyone else!

While an nth snow storm getting ready * and I do not watch ais a single photo of NY under snow, that's it, I cracked and I also show you some pictures that followed the storm last Wednesday when we had even donates 50 inches of snow in 24 hours.

must say that since 1 December (well especially since, December 26), it has fallen 142, 5 cm of snow in Central Park. Yes, almost 1m50 snow a month! Now you understand better why you talk so much snow on the blogs of expat New Yorkers.

This is also the 6th record snowfall after the archives of weather!

And last Wednesday, with 50 cm of snow, we hit a new record since NYC had not seen it since 86 years is 1925!

even when I thought it was a lot of snow and I had never seen it, but in fact, except for the nonagenarians, nobody had ever seen it in NYC. So if one compares with the 2 cm of snow up that was, and still has good years ** Toulouse, necessarily, it makes shock ....

So yes, these are not pictures of Central Park and even worse, they have all been taken from my apartment ... but hey it's cold! I do not want to leave me!

* No, at this stage I can not count.

** I am wrong language, sometimes it was a bit more snow. I still remember Naline, from his native Jura, who said "if it snows again this year in Toulouse, I am a nun!" and this, just before the third winter snow falls. It must be said that snowfall in Toulouse, it is only good years then three the same winter ... She had little chance of being wrong. Well if this year he has ever snow. But do not worry, it has not kept his promise and orders have to pass it because she married her sweetheart in the spring.

one who tells his weekend ...

Friday night I went out with friends in SLE. We started the evening at the wine bar / restaurant past. A discovery!

I do not know how I managed to miss out on all the time. Situated a stone's throw from my old apartment is the ideal spot in the neighborhood crazy * when you want to taste a small glass of wine with a platter of sausages and another of cheese! Well, I have not tasted the wine but I tested all the meats and cheeses all (there were eight at the table and we order 3 plates of meats and 2 cheeses, it was perfect), ** very good and our bread baskets were filled at will and no waiting.

The atmosphere is also a highlight of the place because the atmosphere is quite cozy and intimate neighborhood, I have not felt to participate in the conversation of my neighbors, for example, even if c is still a bit noisy (we are in NYC anyway), it is a mix of Irish pub and club smoking English, I do not really know how to explain it but that's what I felt This mixture of styles. At the same time the mixture of styles is that characterizes NYC, right? In addition, the servers compete kindness *** (one of our glass broke and the waitress brings us to another within 3 minutes after). Finally, the French boss, who came to discuss with us on several occasions and not just because we were a majority of French, but rather to see to it that everything goes well, we even offered two very good creme brulee for dessert our . I'm lucky, it's the second time in less than a week that I am offered the dessert! I assure you, however, is rare. Oh, and I know you will say that I exaggerate but music was also excellent (well it was to my taste anyway).

We were on the table that can aprecevoir first.

They also take reservations for groups and semi-privatized the place has the demand especially for birthdays and the reviews on Yelp are excellent for the organization. Hmm ... I know, or maybe I'll celebrate my next "aging" that approach ...

for

Then we finally went to go test an institution of SLE, Max Fish on Ludlow Street . This bar is since the news after being threatened with closure, the owner finally got an extension of its lease. I especially liked the decoration of Places:

must say that the place also serves as an art gallery. There was also a wheel (which we do not see the photos) in the kind of millionaire, but it's you predict that you would end up in the gulag. Nice. Otherwise, the atmosphere, I do not know what to think. It was nice but we could not sit there and still had a lot of people. I would say if you want to go to a bar colors of SLE is the perfect place but after our early evening cozy, it was a little culture shock. I'll go anyway, even if only to turn the wheel ... and then, always give a chance to worship places. Perhaps it was not I in the right state of mind. I must say that I was starting to tire. Finally, I still follow the rest of the troupe to a stop just in front of the Dark Room. Another bar "cache" but since the time that everybody talks about and with the tail out, he's no longer hiding for long. If you recall, I had made a lightning with my blue shoes last year and did not like. So here is proof that we must always give a second chance at places fashionable, it was much better last Friday. There was always this funny cleavage, a room packed or people dancing and one or hardly anyone there. Unfortunately for me (I do not dance), my fellow late-night forced me to go **** in the crowded room or fortunately for me, waiting for me a bar stool. It's true that it is not so bad finally the Dark Room.

But we are nevertheless left for a fourth place: me, my bed! While others would not know or I, or there was Angelina Jolie *****. No, even that did not make me change my mind, I was too tired and then I prefer Jennifer anyway!

little interlude people: I just realized that I saw in the streets of NYC, the Both actors and actresses who had the best chance of winning the Oscar this year: Natalie Portman and Jesse Eisenberg. Even that at the time when I said that I had seen it, everybody told me "Huh?" Who? ". For her, everyone knew who she was, no worries.

End of the interlude "I am the pete and that's it" -

I keep going to tell you the end of the weekend: lab-lab-work-sleep-( and tele too, we must not mess anyway).

Come on, I leave you, I'll watch the SAG!

For now, Steve Buscemi has just won Best Actor in a Drama Series (Opposite Dexter, House, Don Draper, the father of Malcolm Breaking Bad) and Julianna Margulies as best actress for The Good Wife (opposite Glenn Close, Mariska Hargitay in SVU, Elisabeth Moss, Kyra Sedgwick).

* It's still my favorite neighborhood, huh, I not deny it anyway.

** Just to give you an idea of the amount of plates to be ordered when you go ...

*** Unless a good but can not be perfect anyway.

**** Yes, I changed as and companions of the night.

***** will still have to ask them if they saw it?

Ed, I took the pictures on the respective websites of the bar / restaurant or on the website of NYMag. Sorry, I did not have my camera.

Abudhabi Cruising Places

one that gently pokes fun ...

I apologize in advance if there are police officers among my readers but hey, me it made me laugh ...

At the same time, they do not speak french here but I think it will not pass at all in a French speaking country! And for those who are not fully bilingual, Cops means police and Cons means prisoners / detainees.

This poster is actually an advertisement for a series that will begin soon on A & E, which depicts the U.S.. Marshal who team up with former prisoners to find escapees. You follow?

Befriend Someone On Sims 3

one who surfs the web ...

Given that snowstorms * succeed the snowfall, the outputs are becoming rarer and surfing the web over this.

I have two little nuggets to show you. First there is this video certainly have that view, then if you are in a lab, otherwise it is less likely. But if you're interested to know how it feels at least once in his professional life when one makes a thesis or a postdoc, then feel free to watch the video. It is a modification of the song Bad Romance of Lady Gaga:

You may be not pay attention but all the dresses of Lady Gaga "are made with materials lab and bustier pipettes, it is really insane.

Now move to the second topic, you may know, in which case, I arrived well after the battle, sorry. This is Keenan Cahill, a young American of 15 who films himself with his webcam playback on different songs.
His website, Keenan Room march of thunder and some of his films have been seen more than 27 million times.

So much so that 50 percent is come shoot a video with him

and now it's Tower of David Guetta succumbing to the mania Keenan:

And you have discovered nuggets on the net these days?

* As I write these lines, the 7th hit NYC since Christmas and there is lightning at the same time it snows and then some.

Milena Velba Miosotis Free

one that goes to France ... in the UES!

I told you Monday that tests had South Walk, a restaurant on the Upper East Side who has just opened last fall. Finally, I say restaurant, but is much more than that! He also serves bakery, wine bar, cheese, charcuterie and groceries. Just that! From

Moreover, the atmosphere is decidedly French-French to the difference of many restaurants that say "french" in NYC but have the name of french (not always spells elsewhere, like "The table of was "too complicated the female / male).

Once seated at our table, the first surprise menus:

These are plasticized magazines around so the menu. Here are found mainly Paris Match and also Premiere, Marie-Claire ... And as you can see, these magazines are not young (Yes, that Yannick Noah's on it with his first wife, Cecilia Rhodes), which we did discuss these blankets for a good quarter of an hour before opening them really. Second nice surprise, you can order french aperitifs, like Ricard of Lillet, ... and even a tomato (Ricard and grenadine) or a parrot (mint syrup and Ricard). Yes, yes, it's not bad!

But let's get serious:

Several kinds of pies outbreaks, their specialties but also soups (I'll have to test revert Soup with Pesto, I love it), salads and sandwiches, .... We tested 3 different pies outbreaks (or "French pizza" as They describe the americans), the authentic you can see above, one in the spinach which I unfortunately forgot the name and a Nicoise (the Desousa).

One of my friends also test the sandwich "Hunter" the dough, he enjoyed all the good dough is a rare commodity and / or very expensive in NYC. I for my part made the Nicoise (without anchovies) and it was a pure delight! In addition, you can see from the pictures that the portions are not small, so I could even bring back home ... and it was still good. We also have a pie banana nutella outbreak, which has passed all the rest! The other thing that I really appreciated is that despite the world that parade, I am not inspired to go, what happens very often in NYC. Most restaurants believes that the rapid is a service rendered to the client (and also, since they may place other clients, finally j'dis AC j'dis nothing) and for most U.S. customers it's true. But for Europeans, standing around, drinking his coffee and taking his time on a Sunday after-noon, that is what is pleasant and enjoyable! And I expect that the terrace at the rear of the restaurant opens and the weather is clement (expected tomorrow our 6th snowfall in a month) to enjoy a little more ...

But let us come to the party even more brilliant (in my opinion) of Marche, South groceries!

There are very difficult to find products french in NYC! Haribo candies (unfortunately no strawberries tagada):

cakes La Mere Poulard, of Malabar, herbal tea, bouillon cube Knorr

of chipsters, cakes Lu of the 'Ebly, the Knorr sauce, chicken broth, mayonnaise Amora,

of mikados, straws of gold, and Teisseire syrups, and many other commodities ....

Knowing that I'm back with two bottles of grenadine Teisseire in my suitcase and Noel I received a package full of straw Gold last year, imagine how much these things I missed! Well now I know where to find them in NYC. I actually fall for Alsa baking powder (I do not do too has the Baking powder) and for carambars! You can not imagine how it's too good to eat a caramel! ^ ^ ^ ^ * Sigh *

Walk South is the perfect address to refuel french products found in NYC! And if a small crescent passes by, you know what to do ...

Outline For The Basketball Court

one that "will" has a concert .... Martha Wainwright

I return the concert the most bizarre of my life. Finally, I do not know if strange is the right word but judge by yourself: So I planned to go see Martha Wainwright at Rockwood Music Hall, a bar gig in SLE *. This place, I've gone a million times before and I could see the musicians play a long evening or after noon (weekend) but I do struts never ventured. Well it's done! Except not really. In fact, the room was full and in this case it, they have a small room just next:

relaying the concert on TV:

So to summarize, you do not see the show directly but you're still at the concert! Bizarre, no?

Only a wall separated me from the real scene but I could not see Martha Wainwright directly or hear him, I only saw the broadcast of the concert which took place at 5 meters from me.

The other weird thing is that we were in pretty well filled bar but nobody talked about since there was still the concert to listen to someone who was not in the room. You follow? A very strange atmosphere ...

But'll teach me not to get 3 hours in advance for a concert. Do not forget that New Yorkers adOOOrent queuing up!

And the concert? Pretty good. It was largely right songs to be in his next album, but no recovery of Edith Piaf (his previous album I like less). But in truth, be in the next room, it does not help get into the mood ...

But to give you an overview of his work, here are some songs, unfortunately, are not those of the concert as they are not released yet but hey, you have a good idea of the style of the sister of Rufus **

* and even more accurately, in block or was my first apartment.

** I love Rufus Wainwright in particular that it:

He has also performed with his sister Glatonsbury few years ago:

How To Give Advice To Someone Who Is Stressed

one who tells his weekend ... Anyone looking

My summary of the weekend will be short: I worked all weekend! Or almost ...

Friday night I was in a restaurant in Williamsburg to celebrate the anniversary of C. So we went to El Almacen, an Argentinian restaurant. Well, you remember when I said I liked everything Williamsburg? Well, I found the exception! Bof bof, expensive and I'm not sure it worth the shot. We are two to have been sick in the night, mainly because it was too heavy. So I would say that this restaurant is to be avoided but after you do what you want. Then direction

Bembe, a salsa club at the coldest night I had the opportunity to live in NYC:

-17 degrees Celsius in felt! Yeah right! Least 17! The place was packed so I do not ais fizzled. On returning, I walked past a graffiti that seems to be more than well:

Unfortunately with my old camera and the little light, it does not make it great. I'll have it back. By cons, if you do not mind, I'll wait a bit for tomorrow does not look better level temperature:

Serious?! At least 22 feel?! It's a joke? Not even ...

But back to Saturday. I'll make it short: I lump all day! So, at night, I was too tired to go to Central Park to skate especially with these polar temperatures. So I stayed quietly in front of my tv to watch a new series: Harry's law. For the creator of Ally McBeal, a new series about lawyers but this time in Cincinnati. The main character is played by Katie Bates. It is the same type of humor a bit wacky and offbeat. I loved the pilot and I recommend it. That's what is in January, a new batch of series arrive to replace those that have failed in their promises in the fall. So, I like Off the Map, a group of young doctors left to the "humanitarian" in the Amazon jungle. And for the record, which I obsessed over the entire episode 2, Mamie Gummer (daughter of Meryl Streep who plays in this new series) has the same T-shirt American Vintage I bought this summer and I love. But if! He the ! Okay, so, I barely notice the snake / giant anaconda, the main interest of the episode.

Then Sunday, laundry and lab, the 2L weekend! Fortunately, I managed to escape a few hours to get brunch at Marche du Sud, a "new" restaurant in the UES. I will speak very quickly.

Then short the American Yoga, ie with all the noises, the breathing, the Ommmmmm ... Finally, a course where he has been very difficult not to laugh. However, it was very interesting to watch. Will I be back? Not! I prefer my little during quiet or you stretch quietly without noise!

But the event of the weekend, it was a meeting Jets vs. Steelers! The winner from the Superbowl, the stakes were high and the atmosphere at the rendezvous. I actually was in a bar for better benefit. It begins with the national anthem as always:

You can see from the pictures it was even colder in Pittsburgh's NYC! Then

excerpts or you can hear the 2 fans of the Steelers in a bar filled Jets fan! Honestly, even me I wanted to kill them and if we had been in France during a PSG / OM for example, they would not come out unscathed from the bar. Even for a small friendly match between two country towns, they would have taken two rolls well merits in the mouth! OK, I'm still not calmed, but they were really annoying. When any bar is the mouth and they shout for joy when nothing happens ... Groumpf! We talked about it even in the queue for the toilets for girls. A-GA-CANTS j'vous said!

Judge it yourself (if you can hear a little early):

Finally it was the beginning, it goes again!

But you really live the game as I lived, it is the need to look:

Unfortunately, it was not enough to make up for a disastrous first half since The score was 23-0 at the end of the second period. Fortunately, the honor has been given unless the match ends at 24-19. And yes, we * are property returns the score! But the result is: we will not go to the Superbowl. This will be Green Bay against Steelers. I'd watch anyway but I know who I would not: The Steelers! No way! Not after what I've done both supporters live moron! Good week to you!

* Remember, I am a jet! I know, I was eating all the racks. But finally, the sport is more interesting when one chooses a team, right?
