A Day in Chinatown

I know you probably heard this a million times but Chinatown has the best eats ! I stumbled across the cutest dessert cafe on Mott St. If you have a sweet tooth you absolutely have to stop by & check it out.

They are known for their shaved ice that comes in a variety of flavors! I didn’t get a picture of it but it was soooo dang cute . They also have a bunch of pastries and waffles to choose from.

But because it was my lunch break I got an Avocado sandwich. It was so goood ! The bread was soft and buttery , the eggs were fluffy and the avocado was fresh !!

If you’ve been following me for a while you know I don’t leave the house without a book. I’m currently reading Hood Feminism and I am obsessed with her perspective and story telling . I am thoroughly enjoying this book & am looking forward to reading in cafes across the city !

Sweet Moment

💰Price: Avocado Sandwich $10

This place is super small and gets really packed with people so I recommend going on a day where you don’t have to rush to be anywhere. You have to be really patient as there aren’t many staff! Chinatown #antiquejewelry #nycjewelry
