New York City

In December our friends Peter and Jen told us they were planning a trip to NYC. Since I had never been before, New York was on the top of my US cities list (duh), and so we told them that we would love to meet them there. Then Jen, being one of the most amazing people ever, found a friend's place in Brooklyn where we could all stay that weekend!

We flew in on Friday and met up with Jen and Peter at the apartment of their extremely generous friend Kumiko. We spent the weekend gorging ourselves on delicious foods, admiring new york, and exploring some really great neighborhoods including china town, little italy, nyu, soho, and our favorite, greenwich village.

We stumbled upon an amazing pizza place in Little Italy:


Their tomato soup was even better than the pizza. This is the inspiration for the soup I made for the superbowl:



We also got some delectable japanese cheesecake in chinatown:

We found a cheese store that sells cheese curds! Yum.


We also stopped by the library:
