Since it was a 10-night trip, a large hotel room was a must for us. It's hard to find a spacious room in NYC, but we lucked out, and the Q & A Hotel could not have been more perfect.
Our room was massive, and had multiple closets, a full kitchen (microwave, fridge, oven, stove, dishwasher, all utensils, pots, pans, dishware, etc.), a king bed, seating area, desk area, martini bar cart, and bathroom with L'Occitane toiletries.
Not a bad find for a New York hotel room! We had fun leaving different messages on the chalkboard each day:
There is a gourmet coffee shop in the building, a deli steps out the door, and a subway station across the street, which made it super convenient for getting around. We bought a week-long subway pass right away.
Our first stop was at Bonchon, a Korean fried chicken joint that is highly addictive. It's like KFC meets Korea. Our friend Soo introduced us to this place last time we were in New York.
For dessert we hit up the Stone Street Tavern for red velvet cake.
The next day we headed to Brooklyn and spent some time in Williamsburg. We had pho and a banh mi sandwich:
Some coffees:
Frozen yogurt:
And ramen:
We weren't overly fond of Williamsburg, which seems to be a popular area in Brooklyn. It was too busy, and too hipster for us, although we headed back there a couple days later, which was a mistake (next post).
On Thursday evening we snacked on some fries and hung around Greenwich Village.
What have you been up to friends? How was your Easter?
