Look what I found!!

Lycheeeee!!

Unfortunately, they are not amazing tasting. They're good, but a little sour and the seed is quite big.....and pretty expensive. Well....this will have to do for me for now!

Last minute activities

Before leaving New York, I had a couple of errands to run.

On our way, I was able to take a glance at the Barclays Center during sunlight. It's a pretty interesting building with many curves and turns.

Also before I left, we took some time to put some character into Jon's room....

The making of:

It's war!

 Well....as I depart, I leave my name stamped on the front door.  

Until next time!

Last Day in NY

.....for this trip at least.

We didn't have too much planned that did not revolve around food. So we just decided to walk around Union square for a little bit before grabbing dinner.

There was a farmers' market as well as a Holiday market going on, so we strolled around, looked at the different stalls, and of course......ate.

Interesting Corn

Late season peppers

Cabbage....almost like a flower, no?

Apple Cider and an Apple Cider doughnut

After walking around the farmers' market, my sister and I killed some time by painting out nails in Sephora and walking around a department store.

Pretty nails!

Angry Birds Hat!

For dinner, we ate at a very American Italian restaurant. Their entire menu consist of big and hardy portions of pizzas, pastas, salads and more. For the three of us, we ordered an appetizer, a pizza, a salad and a dessert. I am sooooo full.

Calamari Appetizer

A slice of the Sicilian Pizza

Salad with gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts and beets

Caught Jon eating greens!

Mississippi Mud cake

Yum!

Not to mention.....their breads are quite tasty. We even got some to take home!

Tomorrow, back to France!

Always food

During my trip in New York, many of our plans revolve around food. No surprise, huh?

However, last night, we went to my first NBA live game. The Brooklyn Nets (formerly known as the New Jersey Nets) played against the Cleveland Cavaliers and won! I haven't been in a stadium in years and forgot the feeling of bring in such a huge place. Look how tiny those people are!

Inside the Barclays Center

Today, we headed out to Flushing.......for food.

On our way to Queens!

A new shopping center opened since the last time I came to New York. It is pretty convienent because after eating downstairs in the all Asian food court, we headed straight upstairs to do some grocery shopping!

It's all Asian food!

Lunch!

After walking around for a while, we decided that we needed a break. We headed to the old shopping center of Flushing (luckily it was still up) and ordered my ever dear Paobiiing!

It's huge!

And although we were quite full, we could not resist a yummy $1 peking duck wrap before leaving Flushing.

Yummm

I'm going to need to diet when I get home!

Quantity and not Quality

For my trip to New York, I had several food requests.

I guess because I do not get my proper share of Asian food in Paris, I often have cravings for Asian food. And ever since I was little, rice crepes have always been one of my favorite Chinese foods. They are especially good when they're cheap!

So today, we went into the city and into Chinatown in search for cheap, but yummy street food! And yes.....we finished everything.

Rice crepes, fish balls, stir fried noodles and stuff wrapped in rice crepes

Lets Eat!

Afterwards, we made our way over to Bryant Park. During the winter, many cities will have holiday markets with stalls and stalls full of trinkets, stocking stuffers, and our personal favorite.....food. Our mission: Kettle corn!

Part of the market

Vender popping the popcorn

Regular flavor and Caramel and Chocolate Kettle Corn

 I'm not going to be hungry for three days!....but we all know that's a lie =P
