Lady Lucas' own 'Tasting Table'

I've been enjoying daily newsletters from Tasting Table online. It's always interesting and fun to read. I thought I'd try to write my own little list of favorite foodie things in Jersey City for those that live here or stop by from time to time.

• The infamous $3 mini martini at LITM. OH MY GOD they're good, and they're perfectly suited for my size as well. The closest you'll ever get to the perfect combination of cheap and classy.
• Hot chocolate at Made with Love. It's thick and tasty. I know it's getting hot out... but I still dig it just as much.
• Ice cream from the family owned place Torico's on Erie Street. A staggering selection of over 25 flavors of soft serve. No fly or spider ice cream yet... but I thoroughly enjoy the mint cookie flavor.
• Polish fare from Sava's Deli on Grove Street. It's not a date place, and they only take cash, but if you don't feel like cooking on a week night please let these people do it for you and pick up a combination plate of authentic Polish food.

There you have it. JC residents... if you want to add to this feel free. Love & Life Savers, LL

Naive Art Movement and Other Surprises...

My creator Ashley was surprised the other night to find a video of some of her artwork featured in a news clip online. Coined 'childlike and simple' and part of the naive art movement; it's always interesting how others view what you do. The naive art movement explained as 'non-scientific' and 'primitive' on various websites online, explains Ashley more than her work. Now you see why it's so important that a sophisticated and proper bat like myself represent what she does. So, watch the clip online because all news for artists is good news and all in all being on tv is pretty dang cool. Additionally, this video highlights an awesome Jersey City business owner named Celeste and her rad cafe. Check out my favorite spots on this blog for a link to her business!

My First 'Official' Online Store!

Many more products need to be added... but I'm too excited to wait to announce my new online store- Lady Lucas on Zazzle!! Visit it here! The first greeting cards to be added are from my 'Tiny Happy Things' collection and are photos of some very cool antique objects. Who wouldn't love a cupid or a little elf with a yellow hat... Zazzle is pretty awesome. You can purchase cards, hats, buttons, even posters with your favorite Lady Lucas images and characters. There's a little something for every price range. I promise that more products will be coming... hopefully on a daily basis!! Thanks guys for checking me out today. I have some last minute business calls to do tonight in NYC and look forward to the luxury of flying back to Jersey City instead of taking the PATH. Sometimes it's pretty cool to be a bat.
