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 ‼️

Dumpling N’ Dips

2025/6/19 Edited to

... Read moreNew York City is renowned for its diverse culinary scene, and dumplings are a must-try for any food lover. From the savory chicken and salmon dumplings to the unique blue shell crab options, NYC offers a variety of flavors that cater to all tastes. Popular neighborhoods like Soho, the East Village, and the West Village are home to numerous eateries where you can indulge in delicious dumplings, making it a perfect spot for a foodie adventure. Furthermore, the rich cultural heritage of NYC contributes to the city's vibrant atmosphere. Growing up in Mt. Vernon instilled a deep appreciation for community involvement and local businesses, which are crucial elements in maintaining the city's iconic status. The sense of belonging influenced by my upbringing motivates me to return often, exploring new food spots and reconnecting with my roots. 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. NYC is not just a destination; it’s a cultural experience that keeps calling you back.
