Next week is our 30th wedding anniversary. How can I possibly be married for 30 years when I'm only 29??? It's a question for the ages.
We scheduled the trip for this past weekend and also next weekend to allow for a weather cancellation. That would sound silly if the New York hadn't just been slammed with two major Nor'Easters within five days and another one skirting us tomorrow night. Spring, please come soon!
While we never (and I mean NEVER) go out to eat when we're home, we go to New York City to eat. And eat we did!
We have a wide range of tastes in food, but we only ate sushi, udon, ramen, and dim sum. Not even a slice of pizza. Sacrilege! I didn't take photos of our food but I did get a video of the dim sum restaurant.
If you've never experienced steam carts in a large restaurant, you haven't lived. Seriously! Dim sum is my absolutely favorite meal in the whole wide world and we had an absolutely delicious lunch yesterday at Jing Fong.
In addition to restaurants, we managed to find a few (cough*three*cough) bakeries. I did take photos there.
We visited Dominique Ansel bakery, home of the Cronut. We arrived in the city too late for cronuts, but what we had was delish!
After eating ramen, I told super-hubby that I wanted a cookie. I may have mentioned it more than once (or 6 or 8 times...) We left the restaurant and BOOM! There was a cookie bakery on the corner!
Schmackerys was Ah-Ma-Zing!
Chocolate chip and Cookies & Cream, because you are wondering.
After dim sum, we stopped at TaiPan Bakery on Canal Street and bought a bag of Chinese pastry because Oh. My. Heck! It is so amazing and wonderful and I couldn't possibly make it and I can't buy it locally and
Sigh.
They make Hello Kitty cakes JUST FOR ME!!!
The problem with having a bag of pastries in the house is even though you intend to eat them throughout the week, your more rational self reminds you that the pastries are so much better when fresh and that they will never taste better than they do RIGHT NOW! I'm so grateful that my more rational self spoke up.
We did more than just eat while in the city, though. We went to see Kinky Boots.
My daughter and I used to watch Drew Carey's Whose Line Is It Anyway? when we had a television. We are still tickled when we can find YouTube clips of the show. We loved Wayne Brady so I was beyond excited to see him in the starring role. He was wonderful and the show was perfect and the music was perfect and the seats were perfect and everything was perfect. Just perfect.
In between the eating, we walked just a little.
See? I EARNED those pastries!!!
We returned home and are back to our real lives. I'm sad that we only had a weekend, but I am enjoying every minute of the memories.
And the pastries.
