Lomo II

Every time I get lomography film developed I'm surprised by the results. What do you think of this set compared to the last one?

 

 

Manhattan - FoodStuff

New York and gastrotourism. Wow - where to start? I did so much eating...

One of my favourite things was grabbing a bite at Madison Square Eats and then sitting in the sunshine in awe of the Flat Iron building. I ended up there twice. 

A whole host of famous restaurants have stalls in this pop-up space, all competing with their innovative culinary ideas.

Here's Roberta's pizza and a Red Hook lobster roll,

An Asia Dog hotdog topped with kimchi and nori flakes,

Then both cheese and birthday-cake flavoured mini doughnuts,

And cereal-milk ice cream from Momofuku Milk Bar. It really did taste like that milk after you finished your eating your cereal and was coated in actual cornflakes for a little crunch.

Um what's up next? Probably the craziest concept I've tasted in a while. Mac and cheese spring rolls with a gouda dipping sauce at Cafeteria,

Well I had never before seen one of these. Only in the United States. 

Talking of cupcakes, I did enjoy a gorgeous Magnolia Bakery number at Top of the Rock while taking in one of the best views over the city,

Another place worth trying is Miss Lily's which serves great Jamaican food and it's where I tried this curious but flavourful fusion: Jerk Ramen,

On my first morning in the city, Dee took me for breakfast at the Ukranian Veselka where I had a waffle the size of my face and tried my first pierogis,

Fortunately by combining all of this food intermittently with the cold-press juices and health-kick vegan cafés Dee is so into, they didn't have to roll me onto the plane. (It was touch and go there.)

Anyway, I'll wrap things up with a bagel. Very New York of me. 

This is a french toast bagel filled with birthday-cake flavour cream cheese,

"Take me back", I hear my stomach rumble.

Manhattan - Directions

I recently returned from a trip to New York to visit my school friend, Dee (the blogger behind Nous Portons). If you know me, you know I take photos of really everything. However, I have decided to restrict myself to two posts on my trip.

This one is just to be able to gawk at some of the architecture by looking up, across and down at the city.

The high line,

Boating,

Yellow cabs,

Lego bricks,
