Bonjour NOLA

You simply cannot visit New Orleans and not have beignets, right? I was so eager to try these after all I've heard about them. They are quite good. I can't say for sure that it was exactly what I expected but still good. I will share more about my trip later but for now, here's a glimpse of my adventure so far, eating beignets and strolling through the French Market!

The infamous Cafe Du Monde which serves up one of the world's best beignets, I had the privelege of enjoying. Yes, they were good, no, I didn't inhale all the powdered sugar! A word of advice, the hot chocolate with the beignets was a bit of a sweet overkill so have the cafe au lait instead. I don't drink coffee so I got that instead.

Brunch at Waldorf Astoria NY

It's practically the end of a wonderful week in New York (with the execption of one night before my return trip home in a few days) and it was an incredible end. Brunch at the Waldorf Astoria! What can I say except that it was an experience! The breakfast, lunch, seafood and dessert spreads were all equally inviting. I had the chance to try so many different items, each item surpassing the other, becoming more and more exquisite. I wish I had enough room to try more of the desserts however, but there was far too many to try and not enough space in m little stomach!

Of course the brunch is a bit pricey, but it was worth the experience - top notch service, food and atmosphere. It was simply a pleasure!

It's sad to say goodbye so soon, but it is certainly not goodbye forever. I enjoyed every moment of my time in New York, getting to know some family, trying some delicious foods and doing a little exploring. The trip isn't over yet though... I'm on my way in the morning to continue my adventure in New Orleans. I am pumped!

Foods of NY Tour

When I visited Miami last September, I decided to go on a food tour and really enjoyed the experience. So, I decided to try one out for New York as well. There were a lot more options for New York so I went with the highest rated one. Most of the food was quite good, but nothing particularly special. The portions were also very small. Despite this, I still had a really good time exploring before and after the tour, and walking through Chelsea Market and trying some food.
