NIGHT OUT | NEW YORK SLICE + ELMA'S TEA ROOM

Truth be told, I am a serious homebody. Give me my bed, a movie and some popcorn and I’m all set for the night. So sometimes I really need to make an effort to get dressed and head out. And that’s why last Saturday I decided to kick this habit to the curb and paint the proverbial town red.

I wanted a serious change from the over-expensive Delhi restaurants dispersed all over the city. A decent dinner here will empty my pockets leaving me munching on magi for the rest of the week. Nope. Not happening.


Hours of online research landed us up in a tiny little place called New York Slice in Hauz Khas Village. Seriously, the place was completely empty the whole time we were there. The restaurant is a New York style pizzeria and offers great meal combos for two. The combo we choose gave us 2 giant slices of pizza, a basket of garlic knots and 2 cokes. The garlic knots were nicer than I thought, doused in oil and exceptionally aromatic. And, the New-York-style pizza slices were fresh and filling. I wondered why more people didn't saunter through this eatery to grab a slice before the endless partying. 


Next stop. Dessert. We ended up at Elma’s Bakery housed a few steps ahead. I had heard about this place from one to many and wanted to see what the entire rave was about. First off, the quaint tea room is beautiful. Every second I was there, I wished that Elma’s would magically morph into my house. Dressed in drapes and lit by candles, it was beyond charming. We ordered a slice of (what I think was called) moist chocolate cake and a small chocolate tart. The first bite was decadent and so were the second and the third, after which the chocolate becomes a bit overbearing. I would go there again, however, to try out their other delicious sounding foods.

So this was my Saturday night out about in town. I would love recommendations of good restaurants to eat at!

Till next time...

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
