my week in food truck faves

There are only two and a half weeks of school left and I couldn't be happier! After a long school year (though it went by super fast!) I am more than ready for summer!
Since it is now officially spring (though at times the weather says otherwise) some of my favorite food trucks are back! Last weekend, I went to the Big Gay Ice Cream shop, Waffle & Dinges Truck and Kelvin Slush in 24 hours! But I just couldn't help it! The weather was so nice and my tummy was very happy. At Big Gay, I decided to try the Mermaid, which is a vanilla ice cream cup with key lime curd, crushed graham crackers and whipped cream. Light and refreshing! I've been meaning to try the cococone (since I am very into coconut these days) and the horchata shake.

At Waffle Truck I tried three days in a row to get their waffle of the week, which was a liege waffle with peach/apricot preserves, spekuloos and whipped cream. By Saturday I had given up, until I saw an update aroun 10:30pm saying a truck was actually on St. Marks! So my suitemate and I went and enjoyed our waffles with all the crazy people on St. Marks.

I think the Arnold Palmer plus a fruit mix in is truly Kelvin Slush's best slush (though I have yet to try a slush with ice cream, saving that one for a hot day), so for my first slush of the season I had to go with my favorite. I got the Arnold Palmer with pink guava mix in. I was really pleased to see they have many more fruit mix ins this year. And luckily for me, Kelvin Slush is always near Union Sq so I'll have many opportunities to try the different combos!

Thursday, there was some free food event at school if you downloaded an app called Fondu. Sadly, I missed it literally by a minute! (I was in line furiously downloading the app when they said the event was over) So I consoled myself by getting Waffle Truck anyway, but I got a wafle cone with spekuloos cookie ice cream.

On Friday, the office wanted to take a chocolate break. So we went to Nunu Chocolates and I chose a bacon toffee bar. It was interesting. The toffee was super hard/sticky and I was scared I might chip a tooth. But the mix with bacon was much better than I expected.

Don't remember which day, but I opted to eat in the park, and I stumbled upon some lovely chalk art, including this adorable Totoro!

Spring madness

The past three weeks have been one giant blur! Two weeks ago was a very kitty week. I was so excited to get my hands on the Hello Kitty Laduree boxes I could hardly contain my excitement!! I'm not sure what I'm going to use the boxes for, besides decoration. I already have one of the Valentine's boxes for my sticky notes...maybe for my phone charger/chords? I'll have to think about it.

Last week I had a giant school project/presentation that was very..... stressful. But it's done and on to the next test/paper.
My sister and her friend Fiona visited me over the weekend. It was Fiona's first time in New York, so we tried to do a lot of stuff in a short time period. I woke up sick on Friday, so I think it might take me all week to recover. We spent a lot of time shopping and probably eating too much food.
Friday, we went shopping and had Shake Shack as a late lunch, followed by more shopping and Artichoke pizza.

 Saturday, we tried to go to Clinton St Baking Co. but there was a 2.5 hour wait!! Instead, we went to Doughnut Plant and then Smorgasburg and some thrifting. At night, the girls went to see Newsies and I went to Eunice's birthday dinner at Inoteca. Really yummy! We did the party menu, so we got to try lots of appetizers and entrees! 

Sunday, we went to Chelsea Market and ate at Sarabeths. Then, we went to the Easter Parade, followed by Laduree, Teuscher and a break in Central Park. For dinner, we went to Eataly. Four out of the five times I've been there, I've been to the pizza pasta restaurant, and it never disappoints!
