East Village is quite a popular hangout place in downtown Manhattan -- popular for the young foodies, that is. My cousins and I drove there for Joy's birthday dinner. The feel of the area is hip and exciting. There are lots of young people walking the streets. It feels familiar. It actually feels like home.
While walking on 2nd Ave, I noticed a familiar "Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Baldman". I asked My Sis if it's similar to the one in Makati back home. We both agreed it's the same chain, but this one in NYC isn't presented as upscale as it does back home.
We passed by a store filled with vending machines. It intrigued me and we stepped in. The vending machines had fresh chicken sandwiches, and free mac & cheese kroket ($2 a piece) -- take note that they're fresh, not packed and frozen. Such is the trend in Japan as I've seen in the Food Network. But NYC also has it!
