My husband and I discovered Bonefish Grill a few months ago after I received a gift card from one of the PR agencies I did work for. After our first visit, we were hooked! The ambiance, the food (OMG - the Bang Bang Shrimp was our favorite!), the wine and the service. Everything was spot-on! We've visited twice after and we can't wait to visit again real soon. In the mean time, while we wait for our next date night, I decided to look for a copycat recipe online and boy did I find a … [Read more...]

April 27, 2015 by
If you're a regular reader of New York Chica (thank you!!!), you know that I never post about politics or any religious beliefs but after going to church this past Sunday and hearing the Pastor talk about how to get over hurt feelings, I felt like I needed to share it on my blog.
