Crazy in New York!
As my Mom and I walked back to our hotel on July 4th, a kid frightened me with his fake toy gun. My entire body convulsed. I get jumpy when loud unsuspecting noises break into the silence around me. I said out loud that the popping sound scared me. The little kid's brother then tried to grab the gun out of his hand. "Come back, I can scare you again," said the kid's brother. I continued to walk...fast. I was scared of a little kid.
There was a group of three people on the A train. Not very special except they were wearing kimonos. The guy even wore the Japanese wobbly wooden slippers (they look very difficult to walk in) to match his colorful robe. He also had a clothe pouch that hung from his wrist. Yes, I could not look away. They were a beautiful sight. I didn't need to go all the way to Japan to stumble upon culture.
Food in my Belly, Burp Reviews:
Zen Sushi- @ Saint Marks Place...good, 1/2 off sushi. Get the spicy tuna. And they have cheap beer, but I didn't try.
Pommes Frites @ East Village 123 2nd Ave...Belgian Fries...hmmm. Get the mango chutney mayo. And a regular is enough for 2 people, considering we already had a meal before we chomped away at double fried crunchy wedges.
Yogurtland @ West Village 267 Bleecker...haven't really been a fan of the self-serv fro yos. This place lets you have a sample (one per customer). I tasted and snuck out.
Pinkberry@ Greenwich Village 523 6th Ave...I like their yogurt. It's tart, but still sweet, and it's richer (thicker) than Yogurtland. It's a pretty good deal. Their small if you choose to have toppings comes with two of your choice. I got mango and kiwi.
Korean Restaurant @ Northern Ave in Queens...it was a lot of food, but it also came with a price. But the experience was nice, especially with rice. I Feasted, I did not eat anything at all afterwards!! Not even dinner!
