Because New York is so big, each time I go there solo, there&#8217;s always new places to visit.  Today was food &#038; booze day.  I was taken to a store called Century 21.

It&#8217;s the big deal over there.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch was at Shanghai Joe&#8217;s in Chinatown (xiaolongbiao is great) with shopping afterwards.  Kind of routine, eh?

Green Tea ice cream with mochi at dinnertime in a chi chi Japanese place and a Cookie Dough Surprise sandwich at a peanut butter restaurant in the Village behind NYU.  nice.  And that was dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 July, all day. A friend asked me why I go to New York so often.
