Levain Bakery
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”
Pink’s at LAX
I’ve seen Pink’s on tv so many times over the years. It’s a landmark in Hollywood and I’ve always wanted to try it.
