Cafe Clover: A Review

This past weekend I had the pleasure to celebrate my roommates birthday with her. We started the night as a restaurant that I thought would be a great start to getting back into the blogosphere. As you might have guessed, the restaurant is called Café Clover.

My roommate is friends with one of the co-owners of restaurant, so while sitting at dinner I was able to pick his brain. This is his first time in the restaurant game. He started his career in fitness and came up with the idea for Café Clover while talking to a friend. The two agreed that there weren't many restaurants in NYC that were healthy, not the extent of veganism, that had atmospheres that would still be great for a date night. Being in fitness he had a pretty good background on the healthy foods that people would be looking for. The menu seems perfect for someone on the paleo diet and the best thing about it is that all the food is locally sourced.
Now, what did I order? For the table we ordered the following appetizers:

  • Fall Salad
  • Roasted Baby Carrots (very good)
  • Loaded Sweet Potato 
  • Octopus A La Plancha (Yum!)
  • Murray's Burrata (Another one please)
I didn't get a chance to try the Fall Salad or the Loaded Sweet Potato but every plate was empty as the waiters cleared the table for the main course, which leads me to believe that it was all very good. For my main course I ordered the Cauliflower Steak. After all of the appetizers I didn't think I would be able to eat a protein. When my dish came out I was confronted by a quarter of a head of cauliflower browned on both of the flat sides along with a kale salad. The meal was filling, pleasing to the eye and surprisingly satisfying for a plateful of veggies. If you are and your sweetheart are healthy food enthusiasts or even are just looking for a new place to give a try I'd check out Café Clover for your next date night.

Guerlain’s Bullet #futuretrendpretiction

Not yet a trend but likely to be in the future. The Guerlain lipstick is customized for you. Something that has likely not shown up yet on your social media feed caught my attention the other day when a friend showed me her lipstick. The tube was an unusual shape, almost looked like a large bullet. When I asked her about it she told me that it was by the company Guerlain and she customized the tube in the store. I knew I had to check it out more. On the Guerlain website you can choose between 30 different shades and 15 different cases of the Rouge G De Guerlain, also known as “The Bullet”. All cases have a double mirror that allows for easy application anywhere. The lipstick itself is made up of plant-based polymers and silver microcrystals that create a luminous, long-lasting color. The lipstick will not dry out your lips thanks to the jojoba, a southwestern North American nut, and mango butt er that nourish your lips throughout the day. The first of it’s kind, th...
