Follow the 50's style music in the Max's Classic American Grill. Home of great burger and great deli sandwiches and we had to give it a try.

Max Classic American Grill

1881 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Amherst

(716) 691-8181

 

You walk in and it's so dim in there but the atmosphere feels great. Felts like we took a retro time warp into the 50's and the place is fully decorated with that theme. 

Of course I started of with drink. Pina Colada

The  Pina Colada looked alot better in the drinks menu that they had but it tasted great overall. 

The sad part is til this day I think that they did not put a drop alcohol in it but I paid alcoholic prices.  

So over all was not happy with the Drink =(

It was soo0o dim in the place that I had to use the mega flash just so that you can get an idea of what we were eating. 

We started of with.....

 Wet Shoes

It's Hand cut fries top with "Serious Chilli"  (they call it serious chilli), 

cheddar cheese, scallions, and sour cream. 

It was soooooooo loaded like we underestimated how loaded it would be. 

This was just the appetizer and we were so full. 

The chili was not spicy at all it was just right!!

Up next was our New York Style Dinner. 

We have been to Katz  in NYC before so this was really nice to have.

It was a Ruben, thinly sliced corn beef on grilled rye bread with sauerkraut and swiss cheese and it came with a side of thousand island dressing. , served with hand cut fries and a side of baked beans.

Usually when we have a Ruben it has alot more corned beef in it, but then again it's like $15- $20 bucks and we got this for $8.99 but after the wet shoes I was so0o full it was beyond belief.

3 out of 5

Overall it was a nice place. The food was great, you really get your money's worth. I felt full until like noon the next day, but the service was crazy slow. Like we got there for lunch and it felt that we were having dinner. The service was horrible, the waitress would come like once in a blue moon. It seemed like that case might have been that they were just understaffed for the moment but who knows what the issue was. But it is a place that I would love to try again.

Kabab & Curry

Buffalo, NY 14221-4131

I loved this place. The atmosphere was crazy awesome,it was very romantic and family friendly at the same time.

I could very much imagine having a wedding reception at this place,

the decor was very original and it something that one does not see in Buffalo often.

The atmospher was so nice that I did not want to kill it by taking alot of photos but now I really wish I would've.

But of course there was one issue. We got the worse waitress in the whole place. 

Like the WORST. 

We don't know if she was new or something but that is no excuse as to why the service was the way that it was. 

She completely messed up our order and we literally got served like 1 hour after we got there.

People that came in to the restaurant before us were in and out before we even touched our food.  

 

‎We ended up ordering a lot  when we went but it was because they were have the $20.10 for 2 dinner special so we definably took advantage of it.

From Upper left hand corner

• Chicken Biryani-mixture of spices, basmati rice, and flavored saffron. James had ordered it as spicy but the waitress brought out a mild. It was like lady were you listening at all?? I came with chicken and is serve with  yogurt on the side.

• Nann

• Mango Lasi - Sweet, mango- flavored, yogurt drink

• Rose Lasi-  Sweet, Rose- flavored, yogurt drink. Literally taste like I was tasting a rose. Not so bad actually it was great =)

• My dish was a tomato based dished but I don't remember the name of it.I was actually craving that today.

Kabab and Curry was great! The atmosphere was 1 in a million. Great for a romantic dinner or even a family dinner. The food was soo delicious. Prices were very fair compared to the portions that were given. Be careful of the waitress with the sign "Major Train Wreck" written on her face.  The other waiters and waitresses were very tentative of us so it canceled out the dark side of the experience. The owner was nice enough to give us a coupon as we left. Til this day we wonder if it's because he knows that the girl messed up or because he wanted all of his customers to return. but I would definitive recommend this restaurant to anyone. Tip make sure your not going anywhere after because you might get a really bad tummy ache.

Overall Review: Sea Bar City

 

4 out of 5

We gave Sea Bar a 4 because the size of the location. It's very small but I see it as a more intimate place. The amount of food for the price is reasonable. but One would probably have to order two or three dishes to be full, then making the order very pricey. But their dishes were so original  and had such great presentation, that there is no way that you won't enjoy this place. The service was awesome and I would recommend this bar for anyone that would like to spend a bit more money for original food.

Shopping on Rainny Days

Since i was young all I remember my father purchase abundant amounts of things on rainy days.

I think that that has become a part of me.

It seemed like everyone around the US was complaining today about the rain. O0o0 how I have to stay indoors and shyt.

I see it as let's take advantage of staying indoor and drive out in our cars to the malls and spend some time indoors in some shops or what not.

That is exactly what I did, went out and shopped hard.
I know I hopped on the NARS band wagon very late, whatever. But this product is the $h!t. NARS bronzing powder is fucking amazing and I love it to death and I will be using this product religiously from now on.
Also I got the Benefit - Sugar Bomb blush and it's freaking amazing. These two products are products that I will live by until I find the next best thing.

I have crazy assss Baby hairs and I needed this hair band to control them. Boy does this control the baby hairs. I got it from Icing. I go there for fun and style hair pieces.

Fucking ecstatic about O.P.I. cuz I found the 3 colors and styles that I wanted. I got the My Private Jet, Suede and Matte. Styles on this laterz

Although I have diabities I can always give some sugar away to my honey. lol Planning on Baking it tonight or whenever.

Speaks for itself. Hint Hint I will be playing around with my hair this week. Look out for that.

After I wrote about the payless make up line, I went to check out what they have in the store. The only thing I have really gone to payless for are the Minicci Ankle socks that girls can where with their heels that are not visible and
they were on sale for $1 (usually they are 2 for $5) so I decided to stock up lol

Also time for business interviews so I wanted a strong heel that could support this weight and make a strong as sound as a I were to cat walk around the hall.

Another pair but this one is a sexy peep toe =)

When I first moved into the house that I live in now it had such a smell. A smell that since I have moved in I have not been able to duplicate. It smelled like brand new carpet with strong summer chai and cinnamon. If your think wtf is she talking about. I would have to say exactly. So I got this glad flame-less candle to see if I could bring that groove back but only time will tell.

I have a Japaneses roommate so I got a white cherry blossom scent for her.

Decided to be a good housewife and start taking up to cleaning around the house due to spring cleaning so I decided to go ahead and get some swiffer sweeper. The only thing that works on cleaning the floor without need a bucket of anything.

After the Bikram yoga I decided to get yoga mats. Because not matter how you think of it, renting a yoga mat for $1 ever session is just not sanitary.

I made it his and hers lol So the hubby poo will have to join me. But oh man what a great haul and it totally canceled the rain effects in my head. Time for me to play with my go0dies lol

Till Next time,

It was all a dream.......... R.I.P. Biggie Smalls

1997 was the first year that I got into music. That was the first year that I saw the MTV Music Awards. On that show that gave a tremendous tribute to a rapper named Biggie.

13 years ago , Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls passed away. We can agree that right now there is a lack of MC's out there and Biggie was one of the Greatest. His music created great stories and he delivered very well. If we turn back to reminisce we all know that his music bring back great memories. He was a true loss for the game but they cards were dealt and it was not to his favor.

This was the first video that I saw with Biggie and it took me a couple months to realize that this video had come out after he had passed away..................what?? I was 8 lol but enjoy!!



yeah no....that video did no justice for biggie.............take 2
enjoy!!

Payless Makeup Line?? How's that going to work?

Yesterday a little bird tweeted that Payless would be releasing a makeup line very soon. and it looks like the rumors are true.

The question is will shoe shoppers purchase cosmetics from Payless who knows?? But I mean it's worth a try. But still how smart is this move for Payless.

It looks like the line will release in September of 2010 in partnership with the Maesa group, a France based company that focuses in cosmetics as well as perfumes.

The line will be exclusively sold at about 1/4 of the Payless locations.

The merchandise will be sold under the brand names of "Zoe & Zac and "Unforgettable Moments". It was said that the price range for the makeup will be from $2.99- $19.99. I mean that's a great price. I wonder if the quality would be great too??

The Maesa group has work with other well know stores, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters and more. So we could say that they have a good repuation but I guess we will have to see what comes out of this.

~~~Sneaker Head Confessions~~~~

Too much snow can really cramp your style.

You might not want to take out LE articles of clothing during harsh weather but then what do you do when it's forever snowing or raining?

The only solution is to where your shyt inside but that's absolutely no fun.

Since I am graduating and probably moving back to the city I wanted to start rebuilding my collection. So I started to do some research and I am fucking mortified with what will be coming out this spring and summer.

Retro 4

See a pattern?? cuz I sure as hell do. I love to be fresh when the climate is right but I cannot maintain white for the life of me. Try one week and that is about as far as it goes and it looks like this summer that is all that is there to be offered.

Looks like white is the base for many of these sneakers this year with a lot of red and black trimming.

o0o0o shytasu I think I found the babies that I would like to add on to my collection this year.
