Scenes from a weekend (v, part ii)

1) Central Park on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Would love to get a tilt-shift lens for a scene like this!

2) Friday night's dinner at Pocha 32 (cool interior, eh?) in Koreatown. A friend and I tried to finish one of their casserole dishes (Spicy beef stew with octopus) in vain. So much food. In our defense, we also got an appetizer and the watermelon soju. And our third eating companion doesn't eat spicy food. Ahem.

3) Some lovely evening light at Pho Pasteur. That was some TASTY pho, and it's always nice to return to Chinatown after a while because I always get sticker shock. How is it so cheap?! Makes me want to order half the menu.

4) Ah yes, you know about my preoccupation with Le Pain Quotidien table/chairs. ;) This was also in Central Park.

Today is worse than a sauna. I am debating whether to brave the heat and get lunch myself or order in and deal with the guilt of sending a poor old delivery man into this misery. I think my conscience will win over this time.

Scenes from a weekend (v, part i)

1) Jack's Coffee, Saturday morning


2-7) Good eats at Chinese Mirch on 28th and Lexington. Spicy and flavorful.


8-11) Um, yes please. Definitely something I'd toss my lactose issues aside for. Called the "Natural History Crunch-stellation," this shake had vanilla custard, malt, Valrhona chocolate crunchies, and chocolate toffee. I am drooling thinking about it again.

Hello, obesity!

More to come. :)

Alllllmost there

The Friday before a long weekend always feels a little strange. It's like walking a sprint race or something. That made no sense, but I'm already dreaming of good food and whatever fun the weekend may bring. I will be armed with my camera(s). :)
