You are looking at a picture of the best cookie I’ve ever eaten. Last July 2010 I was in New York for 2 days only. It was way too short and we tried to cram in as many restaurants as we could. On our last day we had lunch at Jin Fong in Chinatown. AfterContinue reading “Levain Bakery”
Jin Fong & Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory
It was our last day in New York and what better way to say goodbye than to have dim sum in Chinatown.

Shake Shack
After watching Promises, Promises we all trooped to Shake Shack at the newly opened branch in the theater district to fulfill another one in ‘must eat in NY’ list.
