Vapiano

"In cities around the world, Vapiano is where people meet to share their love of life and spontaneous and genuine companionship." And so, that's what we did.

After a Ron Pope concert last weekend at Irving Plaza, Brandon, Phanavahn and I were starving and that is how we ended up at Vapiano. With front windows wide open and decor that stops you from a block away, we were excited to have some late night fine Italian food.

Vapiano is beautiful, cool and their food is delicious. When you walk in someone greets you and tells you exactly what to expect during your visit. You are given a card and they explain that you order everything separately at the multiple stations. What ever you like, it's your, and all you have to do is swipe. At the end everything from your meal is combined on the card and you pay at the exit.

They have long oak tables perfect for striking up conversation with the people next to you or for a large family gathering. There are different stations where you can order pizzas, pasta, antipasti and salads directly from the chefs. All dishes are prepared to order in front of you and according to your personal preferences. So don't worry, here you can have it your way! To view the full menu click here.

During our visit we devoured some amazing bruschetta, salad and pasta. Check it out for yourself:

Do you tango with mango?

     This past Saturday was very eventful. One of the highlights of the day was when I saw the mango lady at Union Square. This fantastic Spanish women peels and slices fresh mango, bags it up and sells it on the corner and it's such a hit. I have bought mango from her so many times and every time I go to Union Square I am on the lookout for her. She peels, slices and bags the mango right in front of you then you hand her three dollar bills and enjoy. The mango lady make this city so much sweeter.

Panera To Go

     After we picked up some mango, we made a pit stop at Panera Bread to get some Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Bread Bowls for our picnic at Central Park. I know everyone knows how amazing these things are so I don't need to tell you again.

    After we enjoyed some delicious food in Central Park, a really nice lady offered to take our picture saying: " you never know you might frame this one day!"
