NYC Day I
I watched young love blossom before me on the subway. He was cute, in a scruffy, goofy sort of way, slouched over with his arm slung over his girl, dragging his beat up converses to and fro making squeaky noises every time they moved back. The lady next to me grunted, either from the disapproval of the grand PDA or from the squeak, I don’t know, but the girl shyly peered up at me through her pretty, dark lashes, realizing I was staring and offered a smile. They–a glimmer of optimistic youth in an otherwise sea of stony faces.
Getting set up for her interview about being a Squishy mama for “The Korean Channel” tv station.
First stop, K-town.
Lunch of Dolsot Bibimbap & Soondubu Jjigae {Silken Tofu Seafood Soup} and since I’ve been asked, side dishes {banchan} are complimentary and traditional with every meal.
Korean bakery. I could roll around in fluffy cake, grabbing fist fulls of pastry cream and red bean paste and be quite content. Castella is my favorite.
Union Square//Chelsea Market
Lunch at the Lobster Place. I could have done without the flavorless slaw and stale chips, but the healthy portion of lightly dressed and succulent meat was enough to ignore that slight.
This was the most underwhelming of the day. My chocolate cupcake from Eleni’s was stiff and crumbly.
Marzipan piggy/Dickson’s Farm stand. I highly regret not having the pastrami here.
Pear/Walnut/Gorgonzola Crepe from Bar Suzette, I also hear the Speck is incredible.
After a battery of cabs, trains, and subways, it began to snow! I sat and pondered about snow cream, lol.
Love and no snow cream,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~
‹ Merry Christmas! NYC, Day II ›

Happy New year, Les! Glad to be safe and warm back home =)
ohhhh poo! Wish I was still there so I could check it out.
I love NYC! I lived there for some time and I always go to Korea Town for bibimbap and karaoke (my cousin was a regular at karaoke joints – I have no singing talent). Wish I was back there again…
Love korean food!
Fun! How did your mom like her dollhouse for Christmas?
What an exciting and festive Christmas treat. Your trip looks wonderful and I think I would have been happy with the big lobster chunks too!
Yayyyy! You’re in my neck of the woods!!! SO FUN!

What a lovely start to your trip with the couple in love. <3 It sounds like a wonderful day with the exception of the sad cupcake. Love that your Mom was interviewed about being your mom-you're so famous! You both are so pretty. Did your Dad come too?
That is such a cute story
It’s my dream to go to NY. You’re so lucky, have a lovely time and experience as much as possible
Christmas in NYC is wonderful; I too love that place in the Chelsea Market, did you get a chance to pop into the Italian Grocery store and the kitchen shop? I could spend hours and hours there.
I did and it made me wish I’d had more time and an unlimited sack of money, lol.
Thanks, Marta. NY is always great, I do hope you get to go soon!
A normal person probably would have thrown it away, but as I’m a stickler about not wasting food, I did eat the entire thing but grumbled as I did so, haha.
Aww, def ping me next time you’re in town! I love playing food guide.
Hopefully one day I too shall fall in love and experience what that’s like! Just me and mom.
Thank you, Sammie!!
We’ll have to grab a latte next time!
I wish I had another one!
She adored it, thanks for asking, Alyssa =)

I too love the lobster roll at the Lobster Place. When will you taping be showing? What channel?

Angela, NYC is my favorite place. It looks as though you are having some fun. You could probably have a lucrative business with your cupcakes there
You and I could kill it!

I need some kind of teleportation device and a doggy ta ta go!
