Cait's Plate: Pasta de Pasta - The place to indulge your pasta cravings

Pasta de Pasta, located at 192 1st Ave., is a new restaurant that opened in East Village last June.

If you're a pasta lover and you're looking for a reasonably priced dish, then this is the place for you.

You can get a fresh in-house pasta for as low as $9.90.

I heard about this place on Instagram and I knew I just had to try it for myself.

Customers are given the option of their sauce and any additional toppings.

If you've seen other posts, what probably caught your attention is that it's only $9.90, but that only goes for the simple Fettuccine Alfredo.

It is, however, made in a parmesan wheel cheese.

If you get Fettucine pasta noodles with any other sauce, it will be extra.

The restaurant is very inviting and there is a window where you can witness the magic that goes into making it.

I'll be honest, the first time that I went there, the pasta was hot, but the noodles were a little sticky.

My second visit was a lot better as the noodles were al dente, yet the temperature of my food could have been hotter.

On both visits, I had the pesto with the dried tomatoes.

The taste of the pesto was just perfect and the sun dried tomatoes gave it a tangy zing.

I also tried a bite of the jumbo shrimp with red sauce and that was delicious as well.

It definitely had a bit of a spicy kick to it, but not too spicy.

The next time I go, I'll definitely try their arancini!

Cait's Plate: Conwell Coffee Hall...Can we just toast to this aesthetic toast?

I was greeted by a large art deco painting. photo credit: Cait Malilay I take a look at the menu and see the typical cafe assortment of coffee and teas, but wait...there's a whole section labeled "TOASTS?" Count me in! Being a California native, of course I'm going to order the avocado toast. My mom orders the crab toast. Now...the beverage of choice. Since it's afternoon, we decide to go with something light, a cappuccino. We are given a number and to our left, we see the seating area. In the back there's leather couches and coffee tables. Spread out are rows of tables, so we see that we are going to be sitting pretty close knit with other groups. When we're trying to find a spot to sit, a ge...

Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy (Part I) Review: Knowledge leads to power, but not necessarily justice

photo credit: Cait Malilay "Though hundreds of thousands had done their very best to disfigure the small piece of land on which they were crowded together, by paving the ground with stones, scraping away every vestige of vegetation, cutting down the trees, turning away birds and beasts, and filling the air with the smoke of naphtha and coal, still spring was spring, even in the town." - (Tolstoy 5) "Resurrection" was Leo Tolstoy's last written novel published in 1899. Told in the third person perspective, the book centers on a nobleman named Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov, whose values are tested when he by chance reconnects with someone from his past, someone he once loved and betrayed. The book's first chapter has strong similarities to that of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" with its opening passages of a prison and society focused on the fate of a fallen woman. We are introduced to Maslova, also known as "Katusha," who i...
