Last weekend, I took the bus down to NYC to see MGDub and Corinna. I had an awesome time hanging out, enjoying good food and shopping. Here are some highlights:
Friday:
Doughnut Plant - MGDub and I bought four doughnuts to share: vanilla bean glazed with strawberry filling, chocolate cake, meyer lemon glazed and coconut cream filled. Very yummy!
Muji - I remember Muji in Japan from when I was a kid. Back before Muji was the essense of minimalist chic, Muji in Japan was your basic no brand type brand sold in little sections of the grocery store and little department stores. Very cool even back then, I remember buying a cylinder of colored pencils when I was about 10. I still have those pencils and I saw they were still selling them when we went to the Muji in NYC
Fish & Eddys - I was coveting MGDub's cool dishware so I had to spend some quality time at this store. I went back the next day with Corinna since she also loves the store.
Ippudo - MGDub and I enjoyed some delicious bowls of ramen. The food was great, but it was really loud and happening at the restaurant so not the easiest place to have a conversation
Saturday:
Union Square Greenmarket - I bought Adam some garlic jelly from the jam lady at the farmer's market
Gramercy Tavern - Fancy lunch out with friends Corinnna and Ian, food was delicious...I enjoyed the Mushroom Lasagna
ABC Carpet - We spent a few hours getting lost in this store, I couldn't believe how much stuff they had
Magnolia's - This time I got the banana pudding and it was wonderful. A bit rich, but hard to put down so I had to pitch my cup of unfinished pudding to avoid eating it all
Chelsea Market - More food, more window shopping than eating, but we checked out all the cool shops
