Gen

We have been looking for an apartment in Brooklyn for a while now; therefore we have been spending a lot of time in Brooklyn. Poor Christina has been putting up with us almost every weekend. She took us to this lovely Japanese restaurant in her neighborhood and we fell in love.
Yes, food is made by Japanese people. I need to emphasize that point!!! You already know about my obsession and anger in that matter.

We had brunch (dinner is amazing as well) and menu was very impressive.
Zaru soba wasn't even on the brunch menu, but they accommodated Chris.
If you live in the neighborhood or nearby, I highly recommend it!!!

If weather is nice, check out their charming semi-outdoor area.

Boston for my Birthday

We have been living in NYC for almost 7 years. Boston is only a few hours away and we always wanted to go. Finally, for my birthday this year, we decided to visit Boston.

We took BOLT bus, which was only $20 for roundtrip per person, and it took 4 hours to get there. Bus was clean and it was on time.

We ate a lot of seafood and visited our future children's future schools.
Boston was a clean & friendly city and I recommend everyone to visit. Plus it's not too far from NYC, but it's completely different.


We found Barking Crab. It was a bit touristy, but food was still good.

Lobster roll... yum...

Chris was happy to dig in... crawfish... too much work for me.



Chris read about James Hook & Co Shell Fish having better lobster roll than Barking Crab. So of course, we had to try it. And it was better.

More lobster roll. I think we are done with lobster rolls for about next 5 years.


Our future children's schools...
I hope they will be happy, healthy, smart, and go to very very expensive schools... HAHA



Finished our trip with amazing fireworks provided by BOSTON!
Thanks Boston. You shouldn't have...
