Back to New York

Sorry, I didn't document this vacation nearly as well as the last one, however, here are a few photographs illustrating the highlights:

The Chinatown bus arrived in New York at 1:30, at which time we met David at a vegetarian dim sum restaurant. My vote is: unremarkable. It was pretty good, but Home On 8th is better, in my opinion. My favourites were the steamed buns with "pork." I took a picture of this meal, but alas, I accidentally deleted it. Here's David at the restaurant:

Next, while Dad dropped off our bags at Lawrence's apartment, David took Ezra and me to a delightful place called "Cake Shop." Here is the most amazing vegan peanut butter cake EVER:

And an earl grey tea:

It's really extremely cool. It's sort of a combination cafe and record store with a bar in the basement.

We took a lovely walk in the East Village and ended up in this park, where we played catch with a water bottle and discussed various methods of torture.

Later, we met up with our awesome friends Leander and Marlowe, and took them to our favourite spot for bubble tea: St's Alp Teahouse. Leander thinks: terrific. Marlowe: not sure.

Other highlights include 9th Street Espresso for breakfast:

...and hanging out at Lawrence's apartment in Brooklyn:

I am so sad to be back.
