sometimes one's gotta eat some mediocre chinese takeout!
general tso's tofu & shrimp with broccoli.
it was pretty good for what it was, especially since the amount was smaller.
brown rice helped too.

eating at EAT means wholesome, good, clean food.
potato & leek soup, salad (not pictured), and polenta with bok choy, kidney beans and greens.
yummy!

really great coffee at glass shop - and a cinnamon sticky bun.
the yard kitty was a mocha colored american short hair that was
the friendliest and the most playful, sweet kitty ever.
took everything in me not to take her home (and i have cats already).

a stop over on the way back at the newly relocated eton on vanderbilt :

if it looks gross, it was because of the green light on the window,
but truthfully the food (especially the noodles and the sliders) wasn't great.
i must remember, dumplings & noodles = chinatown (manhattan & brooklyn).
otherwise it's just not worth the crazy price tag.

fun with my vintage camera app.
dinner at menkuitei - shoyu ramen and mabo-don.

and that's okay.
