Japan Fes.
En route to the union square farmers market I stumbled upon an instance of the Japan food festival. Apparently the world’s largest one that happens over 30 times a year! I learned that it’s quite common that food festivals here have many dates and change their location throughout the city. So I had an onigri…

Not even 24 hours since my arrival and I’ve walked The High Line, visited Hudson Yards, viewed seven apartment complexes, walked 20,000 steps, devoured one of the best bagels I’ve ever had and enjoyed one of the most incredible sushi experiences ever!! I guess the first day has…

Bye San Francisco and hello New York City
Such exciting last couple of weeks and I am relieved to now be finally en route to the city of cities… New York City! If you’ve followed my adventures in San Francisco you know what to expect here: some funny observations, call outs of cultural differences, art and quite a bit of food related content.…
