Champagne and chocolate.

The two must haves in my survival kit; next to matches and a cell phone. I mean can a lady survive without either? Thank goodness ShoeBox Bakery realized the necessity of both and created this wonderful little treat called (insert drum roll here) champagne chocolate!

It’s a deep chocolate folded with champagne, then topped off with a champagne glaze. The little treats are only $8.50 a dozen; which gives you plenty to share with others, and available for pick up or shipping.

A Fabulous Upper East Side restaurant open for dining at 3:00 a.m.????

Perfect!!!!

Bruno Jamais is a first class restaurant with a luxe, South of France (who doesn’t love the South of France?) atmosphere that engages you the moment you step through their doors and is one of the city’s best kept secrets for fabulous food, music, and people.

With a menu that reads as if I just landed in the French Riviera (the lobster brulee, braised short ribs, and creme brulee are must haves), two wine cellars with bottles as expensive as $10,000 and a patron list that reads as a who’s who list; Bruno Jamais is what you’ve been looking for. Especially if you’re into places that haven’t been totally exploited in the New York City scene, and where courtesy and etiquette blend pleasantly with the jet setters, socialites, fabulous cuisine and great drinks!

Per the usual , reservations are required with chic attire requested (what other way could there be?) . Monday through Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. with a DJ and live bands for the after dinner crowd and Sunday’s 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. with a reduced price menu.

Bruno Jamais Restaurant and Club, 24 East 81st Street between Madison and 5th Ave; New York, NY; 212-396-3444. Check out the full menu here or visit www.brunojamais.com .

Every girl loves surprises but, we especially love surprises that are lavish and decadent. So imagine my surprise when I get a box filled with twelve yummy fresh lobster tails imported from all over the world, clam chowder that is so creamy and a rich lava cakes that ooze molten chocolate from Lobster Gram. Now, I know I am supposed to be on a diet but, lobster, clam chowder, filet mignon, corn, roasted red potatoes, wine, and chocolate lava cakes are permitable; well maybe a little. After thinking long and hard (30 secs) I decided to call some friends over and make it a party. What true diva wouldn’t want to indulge their friends in a feast fit for a queen (Truth: I can’t cook and they always take care of the details). Needless to say they had to be rolled out of the house but we had a delicious time. I am totally sold on Lobster Gram!

i’m just testing to see if all the kinks are worked out.
