weekend trip back home to NYC 🗽✨

i am living proof you can take the girl out the hood but you can’t take the hood out the girl 🤣 when i go home, i don’t think to take a lot of pics & i hateeee that bc ive been in TN for 5 years now.. i never been more invested & involved in my community in NYC since living in TN.

i enjoy TN but its so boring out here compared to being born & raised in NY 😭😭

i love my city & the town i was raised in (Mt.Vernon), i can’t see myself moving back but it really starts within the community.. i have too many ideas & have to make it my business to come back.

now let’s talk bout these dumplings 😂 BABYYY there’s so much to eat down in soho, west & east village so the choice is yours fr ✨

but this spot gave us big ahh proportions, we had chicken, salmon, blue shell crab, & thai curry chicken dumplings with veggies, noodles, white rice, egg rolls & this sweet soy sauce / chili pepper 😩😩 We split the bill up to $25 all 4 of us ‼️

Whether it’s savoring classic dishes or discovering hidden gems, each visit is an adventure waiting to unfold. Embrace the hustle and bustle of the city while enjoying gastronomic delights – from delectable dumplings to street food.
