I'm Sandy. Food fanatic. Aspiring Blogger. Dog mama to a Maltipoo named Saké (yup like the booze). NYC dweller. Wine lover. Saké drinker. Bourbon sipper. I have an unapologetic weakness for Starbucks Caramel Macchiatos (with extra whipped cream please), fluffy doughnuts, and double fried french fries with mayo, never ketchup. I love a perfectly juicy Shake Shack burger when I'm too tired to cook, or a slurp-worthy bowl of ramen, and would never turn down a generous shaving of fresh truffles, one of my favorite splurge worthy indulgences.
People say we eat with our eyes first, and that our visual perception affects our sense of smell and taste... so I hope my food photos will inspire you. Inspire you to feast with your eyes first, and then seek out the foods you enjoy (perhapse even new ones too) and truly savor-every-bite.

The Lab at Patent Pending is, in fact, a hidden cavern connected through a natural arch inside the speakeasy Patent Pending, which is itself accessible only through a hidden door in Patent Coffee, a cafe by day. So basically, it’s a concealed bar, within a secret bar, within a public coffee shop. What’s cool is that this is the building in which Nikola Tesla lived and performed his experiments on radio waves, transmitting them to his laboratory near present day Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan. They say the ‘waves’ that guided you here (GPS) and surround you now (WiFi) were envisioned by Tesla more than a century ago. Born during a lightning storm, Nikola Tesla was a child of light. He was an eccentric genius, an ‘Electric Messiah’. Patent Pending toasts to him, and the countless others, that think outside the box, and persevering against all odds. The cocktails here are as creative, out-of-the-box, and eccentric as they come, assuming you can successfully find it first.
Entrance on West 27th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. Patent Coffee by day.
ELECTRIC MESSIAH
