I’ve never been to New York City in December, but I’ve been told it’s the<\/i> time to visit. I’m being whisked away from rainy Toronto, to the arty vegan food haven in the south (which is hopefully less rainy than it is here at the moment.)<\/p>\n
As with most trips, I feel compelled to make a list of possible sights and eats, but this time around, I’m not nearly as concerned with getting to it all, since after a few trips, I feel like I’ve gotten a rich NYC experience. I’m most excited about introducing my partner to the various galleries and restaurants that I’ve loved on past visits to the big apple<\/a>. <\/p>\n We’re staying in the Lower East Side (LES), conveniently located near Lula’s Sweet Apothecary<\/a> (maybe a bit too conveniently) as well as places I haven’t tried yet, like Babycakes<\/a> (248 Broome Street between Orchard and Ludlowm, NYC), Tien Garden<\/a> (170 Allen Street, New York, NY) and Pala<\/a> (198 Allen Street New York, NY).<\/p>\n Once place I’m very curious about, but haven’t heard too too much about is Yonah Schimmel’s Knishes<\/a> (137 E Houston St, between Orchard and Allen, New York, NY), knishes sound like the perfect food – mashed potatoes, with a little bit of dough, fried or baked. I’ll find out what’s in those little knishes and hopefully eat them.<\/p>\n Other Food Places to visit<\/b> More information later!
