Sunday, December 11, 2011

Now, this is a bittersweet moment for me. This post is not only another scrumptious restaurant, but it is also my last required post signifying that I will be home before the week is done and that I don't technically have to continue these posts. Although I am extremely eager to go home, I've realized that I'll be going a month without a new restaurant adventure in what is technically considered my new home. Wait a minute? Did you guys really think I could go a whole month without checking out enticing new dishes? Psh! I've been making my list to go and check out the LA food scene now! I haven't quite decided if I will continue my blog...it's actually been great having an excuse to constantly go to a new restaurant all the time and it's been a great way to document them so I can decide what kind of food I am looking for. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to see...let's continue with the post.

A Perfect Marriage: Qi & Bouchon

So, I know this post is a little bit late but I hadn't eaten at any restaurants that were particularly cute or delicious because of upcoming finals and work. However, I have had plans to meet up with my aunt, before I left for winter break, and so I decided to wait and write a blog on the newest restaurant that she would introduce me to. I'm so glad I decided to wait, because I want to tell every single person about Qi, and if they already know of this Thai Heaven, then I want to relive every delicious moment with them!

Now we can't forget about Forest Hills...

Only fifteen minutes by bus and then two stops on the E/F train is 71st Street, Forest Hills. My aunt, yes the same one who has taken me to around half of the restaurants I've blogged about, lives in Forest Hills and was surprised when my friend and I had said we had never walked around Austin Street yet. Austin Street is like the shopping and restaurant main street of Forest Hills, which my aunt knew we would love.

Fall in the City

Since the trees at school have started changing colors, my friend and I figured that it would be a perfect time to see the start of the Autumn season in Central Park. Since we're both from Southern California, we obviously still get the different seasons, but we wanted to really see and experience the change (and not just in terms of the weather).We met up with my aunt, who decided to take us around for some sight seeing and shopping before lunch at The Central Park Boathouse.
