A couple days ago Jaymie and I went to the most delicious and serene restaurant/tea house for lunch: Franchia. It's on Park Avenue between 34th and 35th streets. The food there is vegetarian, light, and flavorful, and they have the most delightful, refreshing beverages called 'tealattas.' I had a plum-flavored one and Jaymie had cinnamon. It was divine.

It's a little bit pricey for lunch, but well worth the experience. Jaymie and I both noted the elegance and airiness of the ceilings and I decided to take a few pictures:

Gorgeous, no?

aside. re: my last entry. i simply am uncomfortable with certain people having access to my life when i've clearly indicated that i no longer want any associations with them. i've thought for a while that i should have a more anonymous online presence and only identify myself to those i trust. that's pretty much the gist of it.
