Which one's which?
I'm writing this on the way to the airport....full of dim sum and the most glorious pork dumplings this side of the Atlantic. Lunch in Chinatown in what could only be described as a " basic cafe Knocked up in someone's garage" was a surprising treat. We found the dumpling house Mistress Maddie suggested going to, only to find it shut, so we ambled down a street which looked as though it had been bombed during WW2 , found the nearest eatery and was promptly sat on a large round table with a family of Chinese locals.
The food couldn't have been better! A wonderful end to a cracking city break!
Pershing Square
Oh What Fun !
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you had a great time.
cheers, parsnip
We did x
DeleteIf the locals were there, it is usually a good place to eat!
ReplyDeleteThe elderly lady on our table shovelled her dumplings. Down
DeleteI a so glad you both had a good time. I also envy you for your trip to NYC, you bastards...
ReplyDeleteThank you kind sir
DeleteI can't believe how much you crammed into such a brief visit! Perfect choices and great planning. Wave as you fly by this evening, I am right on the edge of the Atlantic where it suddenly gets dark. Have a good journey home.
ReplyDeleteThe Prof always leaves the itinerary to me
DeleteSomeone seems to be smiling, get some rest

DeleteHa-ha!
DeleteSounds like you had a great time! Safe journey home.

Deleteyour joy in this trip has been palpable. I'm delighted for you
ReplyDeleteIt has been fun!
DeleteYou look like a pair of naughty kids that have had a severe telling off - one sulky and one 'see if I care' face :o)
ReplyDeleteHave you missed him Nyree?
DeleteI take the silence as a no
DeleteI was wondering if they'd just had a tiff.
DeleteSounds like you have had a great time.
ReplyDeletePacked a bunch in a few days!
Rest your feet . . . safe travels home!
I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.
ReplyDeleteIt's been very quiet .......
ReplyDeleteFor your next city break, try St Asaph. It will be much cheaper and you won't need a passport.
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos of the two of you on vacation in the big apple. Could see the bonds of relationship between you, the love, stability, irritations and amusements that make a life. You just looked like you were having a ball and enjoying the heck out of one another's company. It's a privilege to be included in a tiny way into your world.
ReplyDeleteNice photo.
ReplyDeleteDuring my visit I went into a place for breakfast where you sat in a row at the counter. I heard other customers ordering using terms like 'eggs sunny-side up' and 'eggs over-easy' and hadn't the foggiest idea what they meant. I asked for two fried eggs, the cook then shout-asking the counter-lady how I wanted them, she grumpily replying "Dunno. He didn't say." I got my eggs but can't remember how they came.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good idea to eat where the locals do. My daughter learnt to order eggs over easy as can't stand runny eggs. I like them sunny side up but well done but went for over easy too !
ReplyDeleteSafe journey home x
I can understand that NOW! But 'now' is very nearly 50 years later!
DeleteWhat a trip! And your selfies have been perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've checked the New York Post website. They're not folding.
ReplyDeleteI was in New York and then Philadelphia until Weds last week! My first time on a plane, a 50th birthday present from my daughter who came with me. If you ever go to Philadelphia you need to to go Reading Terminal Market for the food. Every kind of world food you can imagine - Heaven! It has been great to see your take on NY.
ReplyDeletewe have it ALL in philly! come back again!
DeleteWe would love too!
Delete"our place" was Wo Hop .. sometimes I crave Chinese Food but not the Florida version :)
ReplyDeleteYou really did see and do so very much and my god, the memories ! hang on to them !
Sounds like a lovely trip!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant final selfie 😊
ReplyDeleteHow do you look 20 years younger in this snap?
