My First Thoughts On Shake Shack

The first week that I arrived to the United States my cousins made a list of places where they were going to take me, one of those was Shake Shack, after almost a year of me being here we decided to go. One of my cousins is in love of with the place and she was getting me all excited so that's why I can't wait to share My First Thoughts On Shake Shack.

We took a train and went to the one at 86th St in NYC, the line wasn't long at all which was awesome and we ordered in less than 10 minutes.

Since I've never been there I didn't know exactly what to order but my cousins told me that the burgers weren't that big so knowing me I bought one Double Shack Burger, a Single Hamburger and Cheese Fries, what can I say? I love food and I love eating, the total went to around $20 which wasn't the best deal for me. We waited for like 15 minutes to get our food, of course since I was the one who ordered more food I had to wait he longest.

The burgers were good, not over the top good but really good, you can taste that is real meat and the sauce is amazing, I don't know exactly what it's made of or how it's called but one thing I know is that is really good, the fries were delicious too, the cheese that they use is really taste, one thing I wish is that the prices were a little lower but for the quality that you get is reasonable I guess, I would definitely recommended and go again, next time I want to try the Irish Fries while they're still around.

Magnet Theater Free Improv Classes

A couple of weeks ago I was having this feeling inside of wanting to do something new, something exciting that was out of my comfort zone, then I remembered one video of Grace Helbig where she says that when she was living in New York she first started going to improv classes to get herself out there and do things she normally wouldn't do, so naturally I did the same, I was looking for some improv classes in New York City on Google when I came across with the Magnet Theater website (located at 254 West 29th St 8th Ave, New York), they were offering Magnet Theater Free Improv Classes so I thought that was the perfect opportunity.

Me and my friend RSVP our spots for the class and everything was set, the day of the class we went to the theater and everyone in there was so lovely and helpful, since it was the first time that any of us was there, we didn't know anything about the place so we felt relieved when one of the guys that worked there helped us finding the classroom. The class was about 12 people all with a different background and really diverse, the class was imparted by Hannah Chase, he had such a fun personality, something that felt very welcoming, we did group activities, we even did some improv sketches that were really funny plus at the end of the class they give you 2 free tickets to watch any of the plays that they present.

I encourage everyone who lives in the NYC area to take a class, they are still giving free classes, even if you're not into acting, is a really fun experience to do with your friends and/or partner, so go check out there website for more information about the Magnet Theater Free Improv Classes.

Exploring New York City #1

Caffe Bene

I've been living in New York City for the past 7 months and I really enjoy what the city has to offer, yesterday I took a vacation from my vacation (I can't wait to go back to work) and decided to explore the city. Me and one of my coworkers went to a little café called "Caffe Bene" located between 36th ST and 7th Ave. I was introduced to it by my coworker who insisted on going there to "get inspiration" to write on her blogs (which she didn't do).

We ordered a red velvet slice of cake which was good, I've never tried red velvet before. and for my first impression I must say it was good, not over the top I wanna eat this every single day of my life good but it was good.

By the time we were finished it was still early and the city was still awake (I mean, it never went to sleep) so we decided to walk around the city until we find something to do.

After a while we went to Macy's to check out some of the decorations that our company did and some others that the store did.

This is one of the decorations that drawn my attention, the craftsmanship that was put up is amazing, from the branches to the rotating ornament, I really loved it.

We ended up going to the movies since there was nothing else on our minds plus we get discount tickets through our job, long story short, we bought 2 3D movie tickets to the Penguins movie for $8 each. I didn't take any pictures after that but I'm going to put some of the ones that I took with my new camera which I didn't tell you, I got the Nikon D3200 bundle (the body, 2 lenses and I camera bag) on cyber monday  for $600 taxes included.

I'm planning on making more of the "Exploring New York City" series on my blog so stay tuned for that.

Welcome

Hello everybody, and by everybody I mean me, I hope you are having a great day or night, welcome to my blog Living With Juan, I know the tittle can be really confusing because all the sudden you´re living with me (I'm Juan in case you didn't know) and you are now thinking how did you get here?, how our relationship got that serious? without even know that we had one, anyways, I just wanted to name this blog something related to what it is (a lifestyle blog) and also that would incorporate my name on it.

As I mentioned this is (going to be) a lifestyle blog meaning that I'll post things that I'm interested in and I hope you too, things like food, crafting, the NYC life, maybe one or two tips on how to maintain a clean house or how NOT to do it, depending on how I feel that day. I'm like the perfect housewife, only that a)I'm not married (anyone interested?) and b)that I'm not a natural blonde,

I guess I should start telling you a little bit about myself because let's face it, who wants to know about a 21 year old dominican guy who is living in New York who likes to cook, craft and take pixelated pictures with his phone? well I guess that is who I am, but yeah one of my passions is cooking, the other one is crafting, I like watching TV series and I'm also into video making, I decided to combine all of that in one platform thanks to one of my coworkers that advice me to follow my dreams (every single one of them at the same time) since New York is where people become themselves and no matter who you are and what you want to be this is the place for it, so this is my shot at it.

I won't keep you for much longer, thank you for reading my first post and I hope you stay for what next to come,

Here's a picture of when I came to the US for the first time (May 17th, 2014).To me it means a new beginning in life just like this blog(Remember what I told you about the pixelated pictures?)
