TRAVEL – Page 3 – Lunching With Laura

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.

Everyone knows you can’t do everything, but I really want to have time some day to visit The Japan Society.

Levain Bakery

AWHere will you find Levain? On West 74th Between Amsterdam and Columbus. But closer to Amsterdam. Look for the line leading down under….

The gooiest, sweetest, yummiest. They have other locations so check to see if one is in your part of town.

Bistro Vendome

December 31, 2016May 24, 2017 by Laura, posted in My Thoughts, NYC

58 street between Sutton and first. Best to go when the back patio is open and enjoy a glass of wine as the sun sets. Grab dinner alone at the bar or enjoy a fabulous fresh meal in the neighborhood.
