That does sound good!! <br /><br />Yes, it was the Hester Street Market. They are open every weekend Saturday and Sunday from May or April to December I think. The two guys that are selling the ice cream sandwiches are trying to start a business together. Check out their website.. www.meltbakery.com<br /><br />Julian is a pastry chef that quit his job to start this business and Kareem is an Entrepreneur. Great guys! I really hope they do well because their desserts are truly inspired and executed to perfection!! <br /><br />We drove home today (to D.C.) and decided to drive in Manhattan once more and get a falafel sandwich from Taim Falafel & Smoothie Bar (we just recently saw this place on Throw Down with Bobby Flay)... best Falafel I've had! .. and then stopped back by the Market and Julian and Kareem loaded us up with 6 Guiness and peanut butter sandwiches, 2 peach cream with brown butter bourbon cookie sandwiches and a bag of dry ice for the way home!! Have to make these last until the next trip up to NY!<br /><br />Looking forward to reading more of your blogs!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626047574878914400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258338187596427383.post-41753563966782508082010-07-11T15:32:45.450-04:002010-07-11T15:32:45.450-04:00Wow, I'm jealous!

A tear is forming in my eye.<br /><br />I've got that Cumin Lamb burger (among many other things) penciled for our next trip to NYC in August. I can't wait!<br /><br />I'm very interested in that street market you speak of. Was it the Hester Street Market?Mr. Microhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01415438534836983283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258338187596427383.post-41100902085302270352010-07-10T22:37:11.935-04:002010-07-10T22:37:11.935-04:00You're very welcome. So, it was a great day. ...You're very welcome. So, it was a great day. Started off at the Donut Plant for B-fast.. PBJ, Lavender and Creme Brule took the cake (or donut)!! Yum!! We stopped into the Essex Market fully intending on taking a lap around and then settling down with a plate of Slutty Cakes. By the time we got in line, Mr. Shopsin came and cut off the line right in front of us!! Very disappointed. Will definitely save this for the next trip! Then on our way to Xi'an Famous Foods we ran across a little street market and indulged in a truffle and cheese pretzel and a Guiness Stout ice cream sandwich (Guiness icecream in between 2 homemade salty peanut cookies)... WOW.. just incredible! Lunch consisted of Liang Pi stir fried noodles and the Cumin Lamb burger. Incredible as well!! And to end our little food tour (thanks to you) we found a Quickly and had a Barley bubble tea. I LOVE bubble teas and have never seen a barley flavored one. It was GREAT!!! <br /><br />We ate dinner at Off Broadway, our favorite family owned Italian restaurant in Dobbs Ferry. Best Italian food I have ever eaten. If you're ever in the Hudson Valley area I highly recommend this restaurant! <br /><br />So thank you again, we were just thrilled with everything we ate today and had a lot more fun doing it ourselves and catering to our tastes than we would have on a touristy $40 food tour. <br /><br />Now.. back to my food coma.... :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626047574878914400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258338187596427383.post-27887174076841107562010-07-09T07:00:03.060-04:002010-07-09T07:00:03.060-04:00Thank you for your post joelle!

My boyfriend and I are trying to figure out what to do the next couple of days in NY and as hard as we try, our itinerary still manages to come back to food. We are both foodies and everything you have posted is right up our alley! We had though about doing one of the NY Food Tours but reading your blog and doing some further research we have definitely decided to plan our own food tour! <br />Thanks again!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626047574878914400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258338187596427383.post-82120560106975534012010-05-20T13:04:30.884-04:002010-05-20T13:04:30.884-04:00Jason-Thanks for the comment.

Trust me, it would make your eyes bleed. I do support the word of mouth thing. I tell anyone and everyone who tells me they're going to the city to check out FB. It's a wonderful show.Mr. Microhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01415438534836983283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258338187596427383.post-84633227883495331272010-05-18T21:16:41.535-04:002010-05-18T21:16:41.535-04:00post the vids of the show! they encouage it...chec...post the vids of the show! they encouage it...check youtube. it's part of their marketing, word of mouth ploy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421632346558002222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258338187596427383.post-37222001735218995302010-05-09T08:28:00.890-04:002010-05-09T08:28:00.890-04:00dooka-Yeah, this is what I thought had happened as...dooka-Yeah, this is what I thought had happened as I've seen some other pictures of the interior of the mall which looked nothing like what we saw when we were walking around. Yes, most of the storefronts we passed were empty but we did find a small food court. Oh well, I guess it gives me an excuse to head back out there in the future!Mr. Microhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01415438534836983283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258338187596427383.post-34672057684677240812010-05-08T22:07:59.818-04:002010-05-08T22:07:59.818-04:00From the picture of the entrance you took, you wer...From the picture of the entrance you took, you were in the wrong part of flushing mall. Flushing mall is split into the right side and the left side.<br /><br />You went into the door of the right section (where the parking lot is)- that leads to a lot of empty shops and two thriving businesses: Banzai (Japanese 99 cent store chain) and this korean dumpling place right outside Banzai.<br /><br />If you went through the entrance a few steps over (basically right across the street from the chinese restaurant (ocean jewel is the name), you will find the main food court containing the taiwanese shaved ice place.dookahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546508861661990541noreply@blogger.com
