New York City Vacation - The Food

Last week I went to New York City on vacation. I grew up in the NYC suburbs and I love going back to visit. As usual, my mom and I ate completely awesome food.

We went for Dim Sum at Dong Yi Feng Seafood Restaurant in Flushing, Queens.

The dumplings were delicious! We got a great assortment of food.

My cousin Marilyn made me these beautiful kebabs.

My mom and I stopped at Dojo Restaurant in Greenwich Village for lunch. This has been one of my favorite restaurants since high school and I always try to stop there when I'm in New York.

I got the fried fish sandwich with tahini and a side salad - one of my favorite things to eat!

We found a great Vietnamese Restaurant called Saigon Shack for dinner. I ordered the vermicelli noodles with shrimp and spring rolls and my mom ordered a spicy brisket bahn mi.

It was right on MacDougal Street - so fun!

We visited our faviorite Indian restaurant Dawat for lunch. There used to be a Dawat near the town I grew up in and we'd go to the lunch buffet there all the time. That location closed a few years ago but luckily there is a Dawat in Manhattan.

We were there during restaurant week and got to share a restaurant week special. It included some of our favorite things - chicken tikka masala and spinach with cheese cubes!

We finished off the trip with crab puffs and ginger gai pan chicken at Lum Yen in Mamaroneck, NY. It was such a peaceful and relaxing dinner at the end of a great trip!
