02/03/2003: "Mott St and some good Pho"
Pho-
Gotta love it. What else has that wonderful seasoning, those soft noodles, nice hunks of beef floating in broth, and you get huge bowl of it for 4 bucks... Yup, went to China Town with Sam and Maggie today, and I just had to go to that vietnamese place on Mulberry street that is always packed. Now you'd think in China Town, we'd have to eat chinese, maybe have some good peking duck, but I don't get to eat vietnamese as much as I'd like, so pho it was... I think the kids liked it, but Maggie looks kinda freaked in this picture, huh ? But Sam chowed down with me, we cooked up some thin sliced beef right at the table and rolled it up in lettuce, mmmm, good stuff.
Then we stopped at the Dragon Land Bakery, I always go there when I'm in the neighborhood, I love that place and it is so cheap ! All the good cakes and cookies are like fifty or sixty cents, and they have bubble tea, which is soooo yummy, I had mango, Sam had honeydew flavored. The place is always packed, people constantly coming in and out, and they have terrariums built into the tables, with live turtles and stuff. Nice fish tank, with a couple of impressive Arrowanas swimming around. And the cookie ladies are very professional and efficient. Swing by, you won't be disappointed... It's at 125 Walker St, right by the corner of Canal and Mulberry.
So the parade was short and the sidewalks were so packed you had to squeeze your way through every inch. We stopped in some neat stores, one place had big jars of shark fin and birds nest. You can't see the price in this pic, but the red birds nest is 2,800 dollars a pound! We saw some cool stuff. So the food was great, and I picked up a nice tea pot and a new tea cup, both dirt cheap. All in all a nice day. On the way home, Sam and I stopped at Stew Leonards and stocked up on the juices he likes, so we took care of an errand too. Came home, talked to G for an hour on the phone, and then wrote this. K, tomorrow's my day off so I wanna enojoy it. Later...
