Monday there was an event called ‘Taste of Times Square’. Basically, a lot of restaurants around the area bring their food and you can have a sample for $1-$5. The food was just okay, but the environment was amazing. After that we watched the new Xmen movie about Magneto and Professor X. Despite what my friends said, I really really liked it!
I had dinner with Sarah Han Thursday, haven’t seen that girl in forever! We went to eat Japanese ramen. I think I’m obsessed with this, for some reason I always crave it. Hopefully it’s not TOO unhealthy!
The next day, I had dinner with Sarah Waseem and Susana. Sarah and I both went to Brighton, so it was so nice to see her! We went to a nice Thai place and then a Asian fusion dessert bar called Spot Dessert Bar. I had a lychee matcha bubble tea and pineapple tiramisu. I then somehow bumped into Jane’s friend from college, Peter, who was going to karaoke. Even though it’s kind of weird, but I wanted to karaoke sooo bad so I tagged along haha. We (his high school friends and I) then ended up at the bar that had the amazing sliders called “Mark”. It was cool to meeting new people. It started pouring when I was walking on the way back and my sandals kept falling off because it was slippery. I never liked meeting random people on the street, but this guy started talking to me and accompanied me all the way back to the building. He wasn’t creepy or anything. Gestures like that make my day.
Saturday, I went to a Ukranian restaurant called Streecha’s. It has got to be the best Ukrainian food I’ve had! Well…uh it’s the only Ukrainian food but I’m pretty sure my taste buds don’t lie. Sarah, a grad student at my lab suggested it to me as she’s heard of it numerous times. The place is at the bottom story of this random building and set up like a home kitchen. An old lady operates it and everything is very cheap. There is beet soup ($1.50), potato dumplings ($.50) , stuffed cabbage ($2), etc, which is pretty typical in their cuisine. I can’t really explain it, but it definitely tasted like a home cooked meal. Another restaurant I went again was S’Mac because Jane was showing her friends around. As good as this place is, I think I prefer other types of food haha. If you are a big fan of mac and cheese, definitely go here though.
For lunch on Sunday, I went to get Murray’s Bagel, one of the best bagel places in nyc. This place was packed and long lines formed around the area. The bagel was pretty good, very chewy! Now I want to try the other famous bagel shops. Then later on, for dinner, I went to Num Pang, a really famous place I’ve been wanting to try forever. This place serves Cambodian sandwiches, the most famous one is the five spice pork belly sandwich (kind of like dong po rou). Unfortunately, they ran out of that one, so I had to get the pulled pork instead. But let me tell you, it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had, so flavourful and delicious!!!
