NYC: Pukk Vegetarian Thai
I’ve already visited Pukk Thai twice since coming to NYC. In a city with such a variety of restaurants, that’s a big deal! Vegetarian Thai food that tastes like it’s really made with meat? I’m so there! Plus, the lunch specials are amazing. You get clear soup filled with veggies and mushrooms, a choice of starter, plus a main dish, like a curry or noodles… all for around six bucks.
Left: Pad Thai with “duck”. Right: Spring Rolls and Yellow Curry “chicken” lunch special.

The Best Thing About NYC...
It's full of motivated, creative, hardworking people. Over the past 10 days, I've seen quite an assortment of people I've known over the years, and it's really a great feeling!
For example, after castings Friday, I wandered down to my friend Julian's new studio. We met while we were both walking in the Academy of Art fashion show in San Francisco, and he's been blowing up as a model and photographer ever since. We took a few photos and had a couple of drinks- it was a really good time.
Check out his blog for a quick preview, and I'll be posting more soon!

New Agency: NYC
Hi Everyone! My lack of posts lately has been due in large part to the fact that I've made my way back to the good old USA.
For the past week, I've been trekking back and forth across New York City meeting with agencies. Yesterday, I finally sealed the deal (and signed a contract!) with VNY.
I'm so excited to be back in the states- American Coffee! Lara Bars! Not to mention, being able to re-shrink my clothes in driers! I've been eating great food and taking pictures all week, so be on the lookout for some more regular posts!

On the Lookout: Best Coffee in Milan
Before coming to Milan, I was obsessed with coffee. After being here for six weeks, not much has changed. Well, maybe I am slightly more obsessed.
Italian coffee is amazing. Going to the walk-up bars and ordering "un cafe" is the perfect treat between castings, and a great way to keep you going. Heck, I even like the coffee in the metro here (yeah, that's pretty bad, I know!)
This obsession led me on the search for the best coffee in Milan. I really like the coffee at Nobu; the coffee at Cucci is amazing, too (but maybe it's mainly because I was so excited about my brioche); but the best coffee, hands down, comes from Bastianello.
Their cappucinos are frothy, milky, and taste like heaven in your mouth. The espresso is rich, smooth, and not too bitter. I was trying to catch a peak at what they were roasting, but the bags are marked with the restaurant's emblem! Talk about sneaky! Luckily, they sell the coffee in bean form so you can make it at home!
Bastianello also has gelato, pastries, specialty cakes, and a pretty bad-ass looking spread of aperitivo.
