Since we now know the album is titled 'Joanne' this seems like the perfect time to share all my random pics I took inside Joanne Trattoria restaurant on my visit, February 14, 2015 (aka, the same day Gaga got engaged to Taylor!!!). Thought these would be fun to see for those who have not been before. 

I was in town for work and I had to visit one of our stores which was on the SAME BLOCK. So it was the perfect excuse to drag my co-workers to the Germanotta family restaurant. Point is, I did not pay one penny for this experience! Work flew me to NYC and I got to expense the lunch. PERFECT!!  

Hopefully the pics will be enjoyable for those who have been before and those who have not had the chance to visit. TBH, it's not that thrilling of a restaurant in and of itself, but it's a fun experience for a Gaga fan!!! I was so thrilled to get to visit this place!

God I love the dessert case lol don't judge haha. When I fly home for the holidays, my sisters and I always go to Joanne's for spaghetti and meatballs. It's a tradition we started a few years ago. When I was pregnant with my 2nd child, I lived off of that dessert case lol. When I would have my oldest sister go pick up my order for me, their would always be extra goodies in the bag. Maybe that's why I gained 60lbs that pregnancy lol

Lol I'm from NY and still haven't gone. My Mom has been bugging me to go since it opened though. Sometimes I have to question who the real fan is - me or her? hahahaha

Hahahaha just stay away from their dessert case. It's like the Bermuda Triangle. Once you spot their dessert case, family and friends will report you missing because you'll never be able to get away from the dessert case lol. When I was pregnant with my 2nd child, my oldest sister would always order a few dessert items from Joanne's for me. When she would go pick up my order, there would always be a few extra goodies in the bag. Maybe that's why I gained 60lbs that pregnancy lol. Lol my daughter loves going there when we fly home because the waitress always lets her pick out an extra goodies from the dessert case

I went there this April. Super cozy, small place. Lots of warmth, brick walls, etc. Loved it! I had the meatballs (of course!) and they were perfect. 

God those meatballs are so addicting. Lol my oldest sister still lives in NYC and she'll text me "I'm going to Joanne's for dinner. I'll eat extra meatballs for you." It's like don't rub it in lol
