HIDE CHAN
We stumbled across this little noodle shop (HIDE CHAN 248 east 52nd street.) on our way home one afternoon. Though the noodles were good and the 2nd floor shop with 7 tables charming, what stood out were the edamame. Cooked in garlic, butter and soy….
Universal Basic Income
A Piece Of The World
A quiet life on the plains, a painter, a house, a story. It was a great read.
City Cakes
City Cakes – It’s not really cakes. Its cupcakes and cookies and all tempting things!!! This 4′ X 6′ , practically underground bake shop at 251 west 18th Street (Btw 7th & 8th Ave) caught my eye as I was walking to the Joyce to see The Parsons Dance Company– Amazing . Afterwards I took the girls, they had the tarter key lime cupcake while I enjoyed the standard birthday cake. To resist the cookies was a feat- when i saw the three 1/2 pound cookies stacked into a cake with icing between the layers- lets just say the girls had to drag me out.
Canal Street Collective
When I was heading down to the Dim Sum Luncheon I took the 6 subway to canal street. Listening to with the calls of “want a purse lady” and “Rolex watches” I turned to find this charming market. One side food, the other a variety of food kiosks. I shopped a bit, ate nothing, and Hope to return some time soon.
Dim Sum Luncheon
It isn’t every day that you sponsor a young Chinese woman who is working on a class project and decides to organize a Dim Sum Lunch. Lillian arranged it and we enjoyed it. There was enough food for a small army. We met some lovely people and had some laughs. We learned the proper way to eat soup dumpling (bite off the top, suck out the soup, add sauce if you like, chew) and the history of the six dumplings we tried. All very educational and delicious. 100 Mott Street. She says they are the most authentic.
Serendipity
Serendipity speaks for itself.
ELLA’S Oyster Bar

Here at Ella’s Everything was stupendous! Thats the best recommendation you are going to get from me.
The Standard
The Miami heat is already getting to me.. So i need to complain, we ate outdoors, it was beautiful, it was delicious but it was HOT OUT. In all my years in Miami , all the times I have passed this old hotel i was never inside. I met new friends there yesterday for lunch. It was Beautiful, what a view. And to their credit they did have fans set up so we did have a breeze but come on a cooler day.
We enjoyed the food. Yummy salads, good fish, hummus and really good french fries. The valet takes a full ten minutes to return your still hot car and costs a minimum $20 so now you know why I avoid Miami Beach. Im too cheap to shell out that sort of money for parking
