Welcome to Paisley Petunia…part two!
I find inspiration in pretty pictures, endless possibilities in a bowl of Meyer lemons, the meaning of lifetime devotion in the wagging tails of our 3 rescue dogs, end-of- the-day bliss in a glass of red wine and now, the boundless, soul clutching meaning of life in the faces of my 2 little angels.
It's a happy, creative, joy-full life we've got here in the LA sun. Come play! Bring wine.

The Best $30 to Spend in My Town….NYC Edition.

{diana photo by naomi}
Hello from NYC!
I just wrapped up a big conference at the United Nations for my day job: www.incentive2innovate.com and now have some time to play in NYC. It’s true what those myriad of t-shirts and other touristy gifts say….I heart NY. And if you know Naomi (and husband Josh) you definitely know that they heart NY, too. And now without further ado, is the Rockstar Diaries’ ultimate guide to the best things in NYC on $30 a day.

I am so excited that Stephanie asked me to share how I’d spend $30 in a day in New York City! While my husband and I just moved away from NYC a few months ago {we live in DC now}, we will never forget all the fun we had over the years taking advantage of that glorious city {and all that glorious food}.

There are so many exceptional restaurants and museums and shops in NYC, and many are reasonably priced. But I decided to share with you a few of my all time favorite things, which make any summer day beyond lovely.

We love walking {or biking} across the Brooklyn Bridge and having the #1 rated best pizza in NYC at Grimaldi’s . Share a whole 18″ pie {$14.00}.

And for dessert, split a hand spun shake or custard in Madison Square Park at the Shake Shack . {$5.25}

Great photos!!!
After my trip to NYC last week, I can now personally attest to the goodness that is the creme brulee donut. Taking a favorite decadent dessert and encasing it in a light, sugary donut = heaven. Thanks for the tip, Naomi, it brought me Lower into the Lower East Side then I have ever been.
