going out: 230 fifth

Rooftop bars. You love them in the summer. So relaxing. Spacious. Impressive. Amazing views. But where do you go in the winter? Sure the bars with fireplaces are pretty cozy when the snow is falling. But you still crave the wide open spaces of the rooftop every once in awhile. Don't you? We do. Enter 230 Fifth, right near Madison Square Park in NYC. They have a heated rooftop, with a spectacular view of the Empire State Building. Located just 6 or so blocks away on 5th Avenue at 27th Street, 230 Fifth features specialty cocktails (a bit pricey at $14, but hey, you're paying for the view) and a nice menu of tasty bites.  [above: image by C.C.

'tis the season for eating chocolate

Chocolate begets more chocolate. Once you start, you can't stop. Have you noticed this too? Particularly during the holiday season, there isn't a day that goes by that someone isn't offering you chocolate. It's so festive! Why say no? More chocolate please.

So here's a recipe you'll love, if you're with me so far on this chocolate thing. Chocolate lava cookies with cocoa nibs. Nibs are the crunchy yummy chocolately (and believe it or not, healthy) part of the roasted cocoa bean. Make up a batch of these lava cookies and bring them to work or class. Everyone will love you for it.

Adapted from Divine Baking

Ingredients:

1-1/2 c. dark chocolate chips, divided

3 large egg whites, at room temperature

2-1/2 c. powdered sugar, divided

1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tbsp. cornstarch

1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350F.  Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.  Melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in microwave, stirring after 30 second intervals, until melted and smooth.  Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Using electric mixer, beat eggs whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form.  Gradually beat in 1-1/4 cup of powdered sugar and continue beating until mixture resembles soft marshmallow creme.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 1-1/4 cup of powdered sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt.  On low speed, beat dry ingredients into meringue.  Add in melted chocolate and remainig 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips (dough will become extremely stiff).
4. Place 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a bowl.  Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.  Roll in powdered sugar, coating thickly.  Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake 10 minutes or until  puffed and tops are cracked.  Let cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before removing to wire rack.

Yield: 18 cookies

tavi gevinson, role model

Tavi Gevinson rocks. We've been fans since she was 12 and blogging strictly (and eloquently and amusingly) about fashion for her own Style Rookie. Now 16 and founder of ROOKIE, Tavi writes about broader issues relating to girls and women. Here she is, being interviewed by Access Hollywood. More poised and serious than her interviewers, she actually changes the tone of the interview and makes them listen more/talk less. LOVE HER! http://bcove.me/oojb4ozh

looking to tomorrow

Well, the Nor'easter is scheduled to hit the NYC area tomorrow. And so many are still in turmoil. Not good timing. At all. They are expecting strong winds and rains for us. Who's to say how much or when. Governor Cuomo's Website carries live and cached video press conferences which are updated frequently. Tune in here http://www.governor.ny.gov/ if you want to get updates about the situation. Hopefully there won't be a situation. Stay safe everyone!
