New York
After having briefly been caught up on online things for about a day or so, I am now behind again.
I have eaten much tasty food, although sadly, I never made it to the Doughnut Plant or S'mac for mac and cheese. (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
coffeeandink does not like mac and cheese. I told my sister this, who replied, "You have strange friends.") But! I had Actual NY Bagels at Ess-a-Bagel, and now I understand why people make fun of non-NY bagels. Bagels are chewy! With a good, hearty crust! But most of all, chewy! They made my jaws hurt and I couldn't finish an entire bagel, but they are very good. Alas, Ess-a-Bagel's egg salad did not quite meet my standards (I like more celery and more salt), but oh well. I also had pizza at Motorino's, which was good but frankly, I think pizza in some California restaurants is good too.
Other places eaten at include Gobo (good mushroom fritters), Westville (market vegetables including PEAS and TOMATOES YAY!), Joe's Ginger (good beef roll things/牛肉夾餅), Nolita House (three kinds of mac and cheese!), Mely's home cooking (I am impressed!), and I finally made it to Shake Shack, which has pretty good burgers for the price, although I still do not understand what frozen custard is and how it differs from soft serve.
Met up with a lot of awesome people (*waves hi*), though still not as many as I wanted to see. And I managed to only buy 6 books!
Also, Terminal 5 of JFK has awesome recharging stations with touch screens that let you swipe your credit card, order food, and have it delivered right to you. The future, it is here!
