Knock off Handbags, Mock Dock, Foot Massage and Crowded Streets (Chinatown, NYC)


spoiled little divas. 


Chinatown, NYC. We had to visit! We joined our California friends, along with NY friends to check out the sites.  We are in the mist of a heat wave so we were already starting to cook at 11 a.m. A first stop for bubble tea made helped as we made our way from Mott Street to Broadway. I had read about a hundred year old Chinese department store, Pearl River Mart, that would be closing this year. It was too intriguing to not visit.  Through the heat and crowded streets we went. The walk was not far but those two factors made it seem longer. When we got to the store however, we were met with a/c inside a store filled with bright colors and all sorts of unique items, which made it stand out from the tourist shops that line Canal Street. We all left with something to take home.

Lunch at House of Vegetarian and then a foot massage topped off our day. We were relaxed but spent from the heat as we said our goodbyes and headed out.

Thank you Chinatown, NYC for more memories, photo ops and a great new knockoff purse!

Mike, Havana, Noelle, Juliet, Amara, Nancy, Donna & Eric at House of Vegetarian. My favorite veg Chinese place.

Noelle is pregnant and her feet swollen, Nancy's feet just plain hurt her and I just love a foot massage. This was the perfect rx for all of us!


After we said goodbye to our friends, we found Chinatown Ice Cream Factory next to where our car was parked. I had heard about it but never had stopped before. With 90 degree humid heat, a stop for ice cream hit the spot for the girls (although it melted too fast!).
