Book Fair at Kitchen Arts & Letters

May 04, 2018/ Kitchen Arts and Letters/ Brandy C.

自從朋友C帶我來這家專賣與食相關的書店，我就深深愛上這店。店面不大，但來頭可厲害了。Julia Child和許多米其林三星主廚都是這裡的顧客。週六有書展，有美金一元到十元的書，我和朋友C就提早來這裡排隊。

I fell in love with this cooking book store when my friend C introduced me to it. Despite its small area, it's content is impressive. It's customers include Julia Child and many Michelin three star chefs. Saturday was book fair, they have cook books on sale from $1-$10. It's definitely worth waking up early and lining up for!

Yelp Event at Luke's Lobster

May 01, 2018/ Luke's Lobster/ Brandy C.

總有個時刻，你遇到重要人物，卻發現自己忘了帶相機了！我的iPhone，給力點吧！

The moment you met someone special, and realized you forgot your camera! Ugh! That was me last Thursday (and many times!)

上禮拜很幸運能被Yelp邀到我愛的龍蝦堡餐廳Luke’s Lobster。創始人Ben解釋他們的開店理念和為什麼他們只使用能繼續繁殖的龍蝦（好難翻譯）。愛吃Luke’s Lobster的我，這真的是一個非常有意義的活動，終於懂什麼是”sustainable lobster”。還有，他們最近在台灣開了！能在台灣吃到這麼好吃的龍蝦堡，真是為台灣人開心啊！

Last week, I was very fortunately to get invited by Yelp for Luke’s Lobster event. The co-founder, Ben, was showing us what “sustainable lobster” means. Being a big fan of Luke’s Lobster, this event was so educational and special to me! And, their latest international location, Taiwan!!!!! OMG, how can I not get excited!

Snow Monday at Okonomi

April 03, 2018/ Okonomi/ Brandy C.

想和春天說段話：

親愛的春天，你還在Key West放春假嗎？快回來吧，在紐約的大夥們非常想你！

A note for Spring:

Dear Spring, Still in Key West for vacation? Please come back soon! We miss you a lot in New York!

2014年UN搬來紐約時，我就找到這家剛開的日式早餐店。我追蹤的Instagram Influencer和網站，都來過這裡。四年後，終於來了（感動！）

When UN moved to NYC in 2014, I found this newly opened Japanese breakfast place. Some of the Instagram Influencers who I follow have visited here. Four years later, I’m finally here!
