XXL Presents 50 Cent on Cover at Webster Hall

Ninja Restaurant

Went to the Ninja Restaurant in the city and ordered Hanzo which consisted of batto jutsu (a ninja duck pate with house made yuzu mustard with rock shrimp and yuzu flavored carrot ceviche salad), hot artichoke dip (artichoke dip with bay scallops and a hint of japanese flavor), kataplana hot pot (a portuguese style hot pot with a variety of seasonal fishes, saffron flavored soupe de poissons with smoked paprika from spain and a hint of ginjo-sake), and angus Ribeye steak (a 22oz texas angus rib eye smothered in an herb and sea urchin compound butter and fried garlic. ring of bourbon is set on fire at table, served with ninja special bbq sauce). I also tried the stew in a stone (angus beef thin slowly braised in a korean stone pot with a tomato miso sauce) from the Kunoichi setting and found it tasting like chef boyardee.


I ended up taking videos and don't have many pictures to share. I would suggest most people to try this restaurant for the atmosphere, the presentation, service, and food.

Merry Christmas

Christmas in the City

This is the first time I've visited stores to look at their Christmas displays. Macy's store displays featured Yes Virginia. Lord and Taylor had "What's Christmas Made out of". Saks Fifth Avenue seemed to have an infinity with horses. Bloomingdales dealt more with interactivity allowing visitors to take pictures and view them above the display as well as animated gift bags. By far the more stunning includes Henri Bendels and Bergdorf Goodman. Bergdorf seemed to focus with different types of environments and some unusual displays that seem to be bordering beastility. 

Christmas Season

Normally, I am not very enthusiastic about Christmas because I am a fan of Thanksgiving. However, this year I am bit more keen on the idea of Christmas festivities due to FC's enthusiasm for Christmas. I am planning on going with FC to New York City to see the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center. We also intend to check out various store displays, go ice skating, and watch a show such as Christmas Spectacular or a broadway play like the Phantom of the Opera. I hope all turns out well and will report what happens…

Introduction

I am excited to introduce Julie Peng.com, my website that will serve as a blog and online portfolio. Please bear with me as I am still in the process of incorporating a publishing platform, as well as learning how to design on a Mac. In the meantime, I'll tell you a bit about myself. My name is Julie Peng, I graduated in December 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a double concentration in Finance and Marketing, and a minor in Communications. During my time as an undergrad, I worked on-campus as an office assistant for a little over two years, and took winter and summer courses in order to graduate a semester early -saving at least $20,000. Currently, I work as a sales associate in a commission-based setting in a department store. While it's not necessarily the ideal career I had in mind, I am lucky to have a job, an awesome supervisor, and wonderful co-workers. Furthermore, I have made some terrific friends from work that I continue to keep in touch with, some that no longer even work there.

I have a variety of interests. I love food, movies, museums, art, design, sports, etc. In high school, I played a lot of sports including track & field, lacrosse, and field hockey. In college, I devoted more time to various clubs and organizations. I am very lucky because I have supportive friends and family. Yet, I am still searching for the "ideal" career.
