Students Who Brunch

It's almost thanksgiving. For "non-lawyer human beings," as my Contracts professor says, that should be a happy time. 

For 1L's, it's anything but. Rather, it's a time for late night pecan pie and gelato. It's delicious, but also eaten in stressful sorrow.

Monday Morning Breakfast-ing

As much as I love New York, it's very far from Michigan. And that means it's far from some great people. 

But sometimes those great people come to New York! What better way to celebrate the occasion than with food?

Hudson Clearwater

This November has been warm so far. It offers great walking weather to observe the trees with its turning colors, the streaming sunlight on stately brownstones....and scope out some food.

A Word on New York Bagels

Everyone loves New York bagels.

I don't even say that facetiously.

My grandmother in Taiwan last came to New York when I was in middle school. (To put that in perspective, I "graduated" middle school in 2007.) When I visited her in Taiwan last summer, she was reminiscing about the wonderful bagels she had all those years ago, piled high with cream cheese. I promised that I would bring some to her next time. 

On a Slow Boat to China: Shanghai

My parents and I spent a week in China this past August. It was the first time to Mainland China for all of us, believe it or not! We were so excited for the trip, and we looked forward to so many things. I, of course, looked up sights to see and things to eat. 

The 15-hour plane ride was full of excitement

Nan Xiang Dumpling House

Nobody likes dentist appointments, even if they're routine cleaning or checkups. But there is always one tried and true way to make the dreaded day a bit better: the promise of a good breakfast. 

Flushing, Queens is diverse and vibrant part of New York City, and it boasts a wealth of eateries, from restaurants to street carts, catering halls to bakeries. I always leave Flushing full and happy. So it's a good thing that my dentist's office in Flushing. 

I stopped by an old favorite, Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. It's cash-only, the service is brusque, there's always a line, and the food is reliably good.
