Once a GRITS has been in one place for a while we have to start making it "homey" to survive. So, I'm working on it. With being a "local" comes knowing the secret places that tourists don't know about... (yet I'm still very much a tourist).
Some of the local "to dos" in the City have been plain delightful. I've seen some awesome things lately... here are few highlights!
Chinatown's Pearl River Market. It's the closest thing I've seen to a Wal-Mart since I've been here. From tea sets to gymnastic shoes, and shampoo to hanging lanterns... they have it. Here I bought a surge protector to hold all of the electronics it takes for a GRITS girl... I've been having a light flickering problem on my side of the house :/
The Chat & Chew. Near Union Square is a scrumptious little place with a menu that is real "home cooking!" Thank goodness for some comfort food. The Maryland crab cake I had definitely rivaled some of Florida's best...
thanks for reading everyone,
xoxo
