Borders is sadly going out of business. Earlier this week, Hubs and I biked over to our neighborhood Borders to check out the barren shelves to pick through the leftovers of their sale. The prices aren’t SUPER low yet… but I snagged a copy of “100 Recipes Everyone Woman Should Now.” Unfortunately the Japanese cuisine […]

We had heard legen-DAIRY things about the NY style pizza; so per recommendations and reading Yelp reviews, we decided try Grimaldi’s. Up side: lots and lots of good recommendations. Down side: long long LOOOOOONG waits. I woke up at a decent time that morning and wandered over to 5th Avenue to shop since I had […]

After flying around and getting the bird’s eye view of NY, we headed off to Ippudo to have ramen. I had the best bowl of ramen I’ve ever tasted in my life. It was awesome. Not to mention the pork belly buns. Those were even more awesome. I think they’re awesome enough to convert any […]
