It's been awhile!

Sorry I haven't updated in a week! It's been busy!
Here's an quick recap of the week. (There aren't a ton of pictures because I've been very tired of lugging my camera around all the time. I promise (you and myself) I will have my camera with me every day now!)

Last Tuesday after work I went to a place called Tasty Hand Pulled Noodles that Dad saw on the Food Network. It was Guy Fieri's pick for The Best Thing I Ever Ate in a Bowl. I ordered vegetable pan fried hand pulled noodles. Guy must have ordered something different because was not in a bowl and was not even close to the best thing I ever ate. It was tasty, but not more than any other noodle place. Also, the service was awful. This kid who looked about 15 sat me and then didn't take my order. About 15 minutes later a girl came buy and said "you've ordered, right?" and I told her no and she took my order. Keep in mind this place is smaller than most people's living rooms and there's not an extensive menu. I forgot to take a picture of the outside.
I do, however, have a picture of the journey there (only a few blocks).
It's my pharmacy! I officially can't change my career path, become a pharmacist, and open a self-named pharmacy in New York. Oh well. It's spelled right!!!

I am happy to announce I've found my regular coffee shop! It's Think Coffee of Mercer. They make delicious chai (among other things) and the atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for!
I tried several other coffee shops, but they weren't quite right. Even one of the other two locations of Think was just not as good (neither was their chai). I always thought it was strange that characters on sitcoms had a single coffee shop they went to every day. Now I get it! It's particularly nice when you don't have to drive to get there. Think is conveniently located a few blocks from Washington Square (my favorite outdoor hangout) and is a short train ride from many places, including work.
It's my Central Perk
Or, of course, my Cafe Nervosa!
(Please excuse my shoddy photo editing. This was done in about 2 minutes with an online editor, not Photoshop.)

I saw this truck sometime in the past week and had to take a picture for Dad.
I thought it was going to be beer, but it was a clothing company.

Today was my last day at work. I'm going to miss the people from the office. They're super super nice! They assured me I can contact them about anything in the future. They'll write recommendations or even offer advice! I am so glad I got the opportunity to work there.
After work I set off for a nice chai and some knitting time at Think. On the way there I passed a place called Go For A Bite. It's a tiny place with Belgian waffles and other desserts. I got their standard Belgian waffle which is a waffle with maple syrup, chocolate, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. It was amazing! The lady working there was very nice and since it was my first time there she had me try a cream puff for free! I didn't have my camera, but I wish I could have taken a picture! The next time you're in New York you must try it! It's on 3rd St.
Here are some pictures from their website:
The waffles. The one I had isn't on there.
The creme puff. Yum! Free!
That's pretty much it. Tiny!

I have plans tomorrow that will provide hopefully beautiful pictures! Check back!
