New York City Part 3

Day 3 was jam-packed with activities.

First, we met up with a friend at La Colombe Torrefaction for coffee and pastries. Note: the sun! We shared a few pastries between us and I don't know what kind of bun mine was but it was delicious.


For lunch we met up with another friend at The Meatball Shop, which I'm not pretty obsessed with. It has solid food and I loved that the menu comes with a dry-erase marker so you can customize your order by choosing the base, the meatballs, and the sauce. I went with the spicy pork meatballs over polenta and it came out with a slice of focaccia bread. My sister got the spicy pork meatballs over risotto and added a fried egg on top.


I've never been to the MoMA before so my sister and I went to check it out. I really liked the Ten Thousand Waves screening and of course, had to take a picture next to a Mondrian print.


For dinner we headed to Lam Zhou Handmade Noodle in Chinatown for their Beef Soup Noodles and boiled dumplings. It was by far the cheapest meal of the trip and pretty hole-in-the-wall. It was pretty amusing to hear the noodles being made in the back, where all of a sudden I would hear really loud slapping sounds.
