To posh or not to posh?

This is the question I'm asking. So for you iPhone users there is an app called Poshmark, it's like the love child of Etsy and EBay. It's a great way to sell items that are just collecting space, like those Tory Burch flats, Guess handbag, to even that Forever 21 necklace. I love that it's easy to use and they even take care of shipping. When you sell an item they email you the label once the buyer accepts the item your credited the money. You can either keep it as credit or have it deposited into an account. The only downsides are they take 20% and most everyone wants to bargain. Other than that I love the app and have sold quite a few things. If you get it check me out @bkblueagave. As they say happy poshing!

Tortilleria Mexicano Los Hermanos

So after going to the natural food store on Wycoff I wanted some tacos. I opened up my new app (Ness) and hit go. Well lo and behold I was 50 ft from this little gem on Starr st and Wycoff. Although the exterior looks run down and the space is small, a great stop. The tortillas are freshly made and they offer a pretty limited menu and seating. I was impressed with the chorizo tacos as they used Mexican chorizo. Now for those of you who don't know, yes, there is a difference. Mexican chorizo crumbles when cooking. They used crema and I think there were minced potatos. My only issue was they they used lettuce instead of cabbage or leaving it plain. Overall 3 out of 5 forks in my book.

The ness app

Ok foodies here's an app that you need to download stat! It's called Ness and it creates a food profile based on places you eat at and makes recommendations. Also you can write reviews and follow others with similar tastes. Def one of the better food apps I've used. It lead to me a great little mexican taqueria. Now go!

Skrillex and Coldstone

So in true fatass fashion here I am at Coldstone creamery eating my fave coffee lovers delight while being serenaded by Skrillex. Hot.

Greeks in Bayridge?

So last night some friends and I headed over to Omonia cafe on 3rd and 77th st in bayridge for some eats.  He had mentioned that they make a baklava cheesecake (say it isn't so!!) and I've been to location in Astoria and had good food so I agreed.  The front of the cafe is all glass and very modern taverna.  Upon walking in there were two ginormous display cases of desserts (where to start!) and we were promptly seated.  We ended up changing tables as we sat close to the door and it was a bit brick outside last night.  The seating along the walls reminded me of photos from Petra in Jordan, and the the trail through the desert walls that were shaped by time. To drink i got the frappe, which is a traditional Greek drink of Nescafe blended with Baileys liquor. I ordered the Cypriot panni, which was turkey, haloumie cheese, olive oil, and I think chicken.  Sadly it was so dark I wasn't able to take good photos.  It was pretty tasty albeit on the salty side from the cheese.  For desert I ordered the Creme brulee, it was horrible.  They served it cold so it had settled into a custard consistency and the caramelized sugar was like goo.  Gah!  My friends ordered the Baklava Cheesecake which was really good although it was served cold so it was hard to cut through the Baklava.  We noticed that there was an outdoor patio.  Overall I would give them 2.5 forks out of 5.

The Trailer Park

Ever just want to get away and look at Americana curios? Then head on over to the Trailer Park on 23th and 8th!  They have expanded their menu a bit to include vegetarian fare now.  The whole selling point for me was the tater tots and the toilet outside that is used for cigarette butts lol. Over all the food is good (the nachos are the bomb!! like 4 forks), I don't recommend the moon pies as they are on the dry side.  The burgers have the right amount of grease and flavor best followed by tater tots.  If you do go be prepared for a bit of a wait as this is a fairly popular place with locals and seating is limited.  Overall i give the place 4 out of 5 forks.

A unique experience

So today while in Long Island in stopped in at Unique flea market on Hempstead Turnpike. Now for anyone that has lived or lives on Long Island around Hicksville remembers that this place used to be called Tri County. They offer everything from cell phone cases, purses, jewelry, barber services, to even a fortune teller!!!! I love the second floor as that is where all the jewelry is located, and who doesn't live shinny things? I found cabbage patch toothbrushes, tiaras, and exclamation perfume! If your ever in Long Island stop in get some zepplolis and pursue the stalls.
