Chicken & Waffles in NYC

June 30, 2008

Last week I took Faith to mid-town Manhattan to share one of mine plus NYC’s best kept secrets. I wanted Faith to taste their Chicken & Waffles on a weekend lunch date with her Dad.
Where I mean is, a discreet lil spot located
at 630 9th Ave the corner of 45th St. called “Piece of Chicken”.

Their menu includes the finest in basic Soul Food ranging from Fried Catfish, Mac & Cheese, Candied Yams, and Corn Muffins amongst others.But the hit with me is their Chicken & Waffles for only $3 bucks, your choice of chicken part, and additional pieces of chicken are only $1 ($1 for 2 wings).

The waffles seems to have cornmeal in them, lending to a real delicious home-style taste. Piece of Chicken is sooooo low key, with huuuuuge offerings at a budget (God knows, we need it in NYC)
This window served eatery does not accommodate seating so we enjoyed our lunch at a local park.
This is for parents of Tweens, who are in the Times Square area, spending some quality time together and want a bite to eat on a budget, you can’t go wrong here.

When you get there, tell them that Tween Grrl sent you and order a stack of waffles and some chicken for us too!

PunkRock and Girly Style!!!

June 5, 2008

Punk Rock

If you are a punk rock beginner, you should start by getting a new choice of style . For example you would buy checkered skinny jeans, black skinny jeans, or just regular colors. You would also buy spikey jewelry and such. You’d probably like to wear cool Vans, Etnies, DC’s or Chuck’s. In my photo I will be styling a red mini-skirt with hot pink leggings. On foot I will be wearing a pair of red and black chuck’s. My jewelry is a pink and black ring, red earrings, and a blue star necklace.

Girly

If you are falling out of a tomboy stage or any other, to become a girly girl, you’d start by, shopping at stores like Target, Scoop, Limited Too, Claire’s, Sephora (maybe), American Eagle, Roxy, Urban Outfitters, Uniqlo, H&M, Old Navy, Soho street venders, etc.

Cosmetics: Smackers, Sephora, Bath & Body Works, Mac, Covergirl, Maybeline New York, Nuetrogena, etc.

Mani & Pedi: Brucci, N.Y.C. (New York Color), Sally Hansen, Sinful Colors, etc.

Tween Senior Trip!~!!

June 5, 2008

Well, I went to Washington D.C., for my senior trip. I stayed at the the Holiday Inn Exspress in Maryland for 2 nights and 3 days. It was great. I left Brooklyn on Monday the second of June, and I came back yesterday. I got a few souvenirs. I went to so many museums, and I saw the White house. Face to face, or in this case, house to face. I had two slumber parties. They were pretty great. Oh, and I even saw real Diamonds at a museum. (Diamond is my birth stone!) They were beautiful. I also went to a cemetery. I forget the name, but it was still cool.

Congrats to all tweens that are graduating this year.
