Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
This year, I was invited to watch the parade at my friend’s apartment. She has an amazing view of Sixth Avenue.
Here are some pictures of the parade.

Celebrating Halloween 🎃 👻
I must say, my daughter has been booked and busy with Halloween parties this year.
Last Friday, we attended the YMCA’s Fall Family Festival.
On Saturday, we went to a party at my daughter’s dance school.
On Tuesday, we went to the New York Junior League’s annual Lil Goblins party.
Today, Maxi played and made slime at Puzzles in Astoria. We also did some trick and treating on Ditmars.
Fun times!! Now, I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving.
Pumpkin Nights at the Bronx Zoo
Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 Two weeks ago, we visited the Bronx Zoo for Pumpkin Nights. We had a blast. They had fun games, a great exhibit, and food. The zoo was definitely creepy at night. 😜
Here are some pictures of the night.
Getting back to Mah Jong
Back in 2022, I signed myself up for Mah Jong classes. I had fun learning, but it didn’t stick.
I recently got the opportunity to join a group and learn again through Ready Set Mah Jong, and I’m having a blast. Maybe it’s my teacher, maybe it’s my group of ladies, but either way, I’m hooked this time!
If you are in the NYC area and curious to learn, check out Ready Set Mah Jong.
Visiting The Freakin Rican in Astoria
I’ve always wanted to check out this restaurant. I finally got the opportunity earlier this month having lunch with a good friend.
My friend had the mofongo with chicharron and loved it. I had the bistec with onions and rice and I brought home the pernil and rice. My bistec was okay but the pernil was amazing.
The restaurant has a very cozy vibe, and I look forward to coming back with my family.
Family dinner at Mokja
Last month, we had dinner at Mokja in Astoria. The food was amazing, and I still can’t forget how cute this restaurant was.
The restaurant had a very romantic kind of vibe. There were lights and flowers everywhere.
Another thing I loved about the restaurant was that it had a lot of personal touches. They had bag holders at each table. They also had bowls, cups, and silverware for kids. It was so cute and made my daughter feel special.
I will definitely be back. I recommend it for date nights, families, and small groups.
