Monkey Monday: another night at the library. 20 October 2008 10:07 pm
Posted by Tracy in : consumerism,eating,geekery,nepal,nyc,pictures,restaurants,school,seasonality , trackbackI’m about to go back to our Internet-less home and make myself a nice pot of tea in the hopes that it will inspire me to write at least another page of the paper due Wednesday, but first I wanted to note:
- Yay for fall! We’ve been having these beautiful crisp, clear days, and they actually confused me for a little while, because I’d been in Oregon too long and had almost forgotten that weather can be both clear and cold. As I commented to the fabulous Chiara this morning, “[T]his winter, at least, will not be 100% dark and grey! Freezing cold, maybe, but somehow I feel it less when I get more sun. Take that, seasonal affective tendencies! Woo!”
- Yay for finding Nepalese food in New York! Last week I enjoyed Tibetan Kitchen in Murray Hill, but it felt like I had missed my target. Today I stopped by the Himalayan Teahouse in Astoria, but they were closed, but I pressed on to Jackson Heights, where the Himalayan Yak’s vegetarian thali platter proved more food than I could eat. Yay! On my way there, I passed this crazy pan-South-Asian place advertising Tibetan, Nepalese, and Bhutanese food in addition to Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani:
Whoa. That’s one for maybe some other time. Also in the “some other time” category is Sunnyside’s Yeti of Hieizan, which holds the distinct honor of being the only Japanese-Nepalese restaurant I’ve ever seen. Crazy!
- That said, I’d better get on writing that paper about my quest to find Nepalese food in NYC, especially now that it can have a full-belly happy ending.
