From Bay Ridge to Williamsburg

Before I left home my friend Annie showed me a clip of Jamie Oliver heading out to Flushing in Queens to try freshly made noodles I was telling my friends in laws about this and Jose recommended this place its in Brooklyn, which much closer for me! So today I ventured to the neighbourhood in Brooklyn called Bay Ridge upon recommendation from Jose. 

Yes this sign reads Wong Good Hand Pull Noodle Restaurant..


Located at 60th Street & 8 Ave Bay Ridge


They let me film the magic


Soya Chicken and vegetables


I had to get dumplings I'm secretly always on the hunt for the best dumpling


Needless to say I was full! This whole meal was $9

Then I ventured up to Williamsburg on the hunt for some vintage old pieces for my looming golden bday (stay tuned)

So I stumbled upon this lovely coffee shop Toby's Estate Coffee coincidentally my sister has recommended them as they supply the bean's to her cafe in Perth! they are an Aussie bean supplier started in Sydney and now making it big in NYC.

"Toby is a roaster, barista, and coffee artisan intent on sharing his passion and knowledge with coffee lovers through his roasteries and cafes in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Singapore, and now in Brooklyn." -  Toby's Estate Coffee 


It's a beautiful space with a high ceiling loft-esque feel and giant windows to let in all the sunshine. I had a delicious iced coffee definitely one of my best ones since coming to the US.


I love this shelving


I purchased this book/bible for my sisters birthday!


Then I ran into my cousin, to celebrate we indulged in happy hour at this beautiful asian garden!
