Represent. Be a New Orleanian.




During the Christmas holidays I had the chance to go back home to visit my family in Louisiana. It's been a long time since I been home and I definitely was excited to spend quality time with my family. Anyways, the day after Christmas my family and I decided to have lunch and tour one of the local plantation homes. The plantation we visited was called "Oak Alley Plantation" its absolutely beautiful with the 20+ oak trees featured in the front lawn. As a child growing up I was always fascinated learning about historical events. Despite the fact that slavery was active during that era it's part of history and I enjoyed learning about it. Well, the good news is that Oak Alley Plantation was noted for their benevolence and justice with their slaves. It is noted that many of slaves were emancipated long before the Civil War began.

Starry Night meets Amber Village


( Vincent Van Gogh famous painting "Starry Night" featured in MoMA )

My friend from California was in NYC for the weekend and we decided to hit up Tim Burton's exhibit at the MoMA. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was sold out for the day. We decided to stay to see the other collections since it's Free Admission on Friday Night after 5pm.

I believe this mirror painting was from Andy Warhol .. isn't it groovy I was able to take a picture of me and the painting. 

After the museum headed to the village to have dinner at Amber Sushi restaurant. It was my 1st time there but I thought it was affordable, great decor, atmosphere was laid back, and of course the food was dee-licious. Ordered a sangria crispy duck with rice it had a sweet sauce garnished with mango, pineapple, and bok choy it was pretty amazing.
