Title: Is Vanessa a Vegetarian?
Post by: Giuliana on January 12, 2011, 02:45:19 pm
Hey guys, I know that Vanessa is really concerned about the environment, she recycles and the furnitures in her house are from a special type of wood, also she was part of the Cape Farewell. She even participated in various Peta campaigns (with Lord Victors LOLz, she's awesome), including the Animal Birth Control Campaign.

So my question is, Is Vanessa a vegetarian? Because I've read many websites which confirm she is, but I've never heard it coming from her, so if anyone has info on this subject I'd be grateful if you could share.

Anyway, best wishes!
xx

She used to be, but I don't think she is anymore. I read an interview of hers from a  few years ago and she talked about eating steak and chorizo, which is pork. Can't be too sure, though.

I've actually been to Ruby's. It was delicious. The actual place is super tiny - I posted a picture at the bottom - but cozy. The kitchen is the size of a bathroom cubicle, and it's visible so you can actually see your food being made.

Here's a picture of Ruby's from the inside.

I've actually been to Ruby's; it's one of my favorite eateries in NYC. Would you believe they have the best burger that I've ever had? It was delicious. In fact, so was their spaghetti, pumpkin salad, and nearly everything they had. The actual place is super tiny - I posted a picture at the bottom - but cozy. The kitchen is the size of a bathroom cubicle, and it's visible so you can actually see your food being made.

You are making me hungry lol  ;D  

Its cool that you can see them preparing the food.

Have to make it over there someday  :)

Edit: Just looking at the review of Ruby's and it says that the nearest subway stop is Spring Street, is this Vanessas  Spring Street?

Yes, it is. Ruby's is actually in Vanessa's NoLita neighborhood, on Mulberry Street, which is not too far from Spring Street. You should check out Balthazar - on Spring Street - as well, it's across the street from the Starbucks that Vanessa gets her morning coffee from.

I just love learning new (to me) stuff about her (and realizing we have some things in common)!  I've got to make it to NYC to check out all these places and maybe catch a glimpse!

Wow, thanks for the link!! So amazing, I just got back from New York, and of course had to visit NoLita!! My sister and I went to Ruby's and Spring Street, and we also found out the place where she filmed part of "Nolita Fairytale", as well as the place where they smashed up the piano at the beginning..we were hoping irrationally to see V, but I guess she was in Arizona then :P I agree with Saba, the food at Ruby's is really really good..and also, found it even more awesome cause it's Australian, like I am! ;D

Here's a photo of Spring Street station + Ruby's from the outside (excuse the white circle, I deleted myself from the pic ;) Also apologies that the pictures are so big..)

If only I'd read this article earlier, I could've had a "Vanessa" day and done all the things on the list :P

I loved Ruby's when I visited the city. Thankfully, this was already post-Vanessa obsession so I knew what I was doing on my trip there haha. I ate there twice!!

No way! Where was it? I kind of know my way around NoLita and I couldn't even figure out where any of that was shot!

You're all lucky to feel what it's like to be in Nolita. (: I bet it's very artsy.

Where did they shoot the video, i think i walked past the garage that the piano comes out of, but do you know where any other locations are?

Wow, thanks all, for posting up all the photos, I definitely have to go there, the food looks sublime  :)

It does look a nice area.

And $1 for beer and coffee, blimey most places in Dublin are 5 euro plus for a beer.

I can't remember it exactly, but I remember we went looking for "Lafayette Street and Bond Street", cause I found an article that said that's where it was shot..we actually found the place by chance:

(http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr177/mysticalmists/th_IMG_5556.jpg?t=1295233007) <-- pretty sure that's where the video was shot, cause of the two STOP signs

(http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr177/mysticalmists/th_IMG_5573.jpg?t=1295233007) <-- the pothole (at the end of the video) was on the floor :D

(http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr177/mysticalmists/th_IMG_5589.jpg?t=1295233007) <-- place where the piano was smashed~

Actually, I just googled the name of the car company and found their address: 372 Lafayette Street, NY 10012, United States
..put that into google maps and go to street view, you should be able to see it if you zoom forward to Lafayette street, on the left! :)

And I just found where the place where the STOP signs are: Type "294 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10012, USA" into google maps and street view, and drag it round til you get the intersection of Lafayette and Jersey Street :)

We were looking for the park that was featured in the video, and lots of the other places too, but these were the only ones we could find that day..we might've found the red-brick wall shown at 1:18, 2:19, etc of the video but I'm not sure:
(http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr177/mysticalmists/th_IMG_5571.jpg?t=1295234916)<-- it was at the end of Lafayette/Jersey Street intersection (opposite side of where the STOP signs were)

Hope it helps!! ;D
