adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Pursuit: 6 Cents ] San Marzano & a Movie My friends and I have been trying to find more affordable ways to get out of the house and have a good time without spending a ton of money. Cutting back on dining out is an obvious way to save $$ but I’m a foodie - and not eating out at all is unrealistic for me. I’d prioritize good food over shoes or handbags or rent anyday. One of my favorite nights out with my gals is to go to San Marzano (or Cube 63 if you’re in the sushi mode - both are sans corking fees too and conveniently on my street). Pizzas at San Marzano serve 2 people (even a guy/girl), are between $11-$14, are yummy. And the restaurant’s environment is casual and perfect in the spring/summertime with full open floor to ceiling doors. Favorites on their menu include: Bianca (pictured above) - fontina, gorgonzola, proscuitto, onions Quattro Formagi - mozzarella, fontina, gorgonzola, ricotta Margherita - (classic) They also have an awesome Caprese, a great meat/cheese plate and fabulous chicken filled Calzones. There is a wine/beer shop (Stanton between Clinton and Attorney) less than a block away that sells a fantastic selection of Barefoot and other affordable wines - so all in you’re looking at $14 (pizza) + $10 (wine) = $24 dinner date + a $4.95 movie on demand at home afterwards or a wander through the neighborhood (we put the rest of the wine in plastic cups and stroll)…perfection.
