For my birthday, Christopher shocked me with tickets to the musical Come From Away… in New York Metropolis! It’s going to be our first time seeing a present on Broadway in Instances Sq.. We’ve seen The Lion King and The E book of Mormon, however each at house in Montreal. Full disclosure- I don’t know what the present we’re going to see is definitely about. All I do know is that it takes place in Newfoundland, and that was sufficient for me! (Psst, in the event you’re trying to journey someplace with the attractive landscapes, unimaginable hikes, a lot of wildlife, and the nicest folks… put Newfoundland in your bucket checklist).
Our schedules crammed up shortly earlier than we received the possibility to plan our journey to the large apple, so it’s going to be an actual fast journey to New York Metropolis. Slightly below 48 hours!
First order of enterprise…Meals (as normal)
One of many nice issues about New York Metropolis is that there’s vegan meals at virtually each nook (or at the very least that’s the way it appears)! Once we journey, we normally wish to strive consuming at locations we haven’t been to earlier than, or making an attempt meals that isn’t out there again house.
A few of our favorite eating places within the metropolis from our previous journeys listed below are
Excessive on our checklist this time? Attempting out the brand new child on the block, Hartbreaker’s. Okay. So it’s not within the metropolis, it’s in Brooklyn. No huge deal although, the general public transit system right here is epic. It was faster for us to take the subway than it will have been to drive 🙂 Subsequent factor we knew, we have been strolling right into a small, vibrant restaurant.
The Thunderbird was calling out my title. A fried chik’n sandwich, tangy slaw, pickles, & a cilantro jalapeno aioli. Any guesses what Christopher received? Let’s be trustworthy. If there’s french fries on the menu, he normally finally ends up with some. This time was no totally different. Nicely, perhaps a bit of. The Dynamite waffle fries listed below are totally loaded with cheese, merguez sausage, jalapeno, parsley, and aioli. I nonetheless can’t determine which I like finest. Two thumbs up for each.






In the event you’re seeing a present, You’ll need to keep right here
Instances Sq.. It made sense for us to remain on this space. We’re right here for such a brief period of time, and the principle purpose for our journey is to see Come from Away! The ROW hotel is the place we selected to remain this time, actually simply meters away from the theatre!



Chickpea & Olive
Seems, there’s a lot of good meals in Brooklyn. I discover it hilarious that we picked a lodge proper in the course of New York Metropolis, and ended up consuming most of our meals in Brooklyn. Basic.
We had a style of Chickpea and Olive at Vegandale NYC final yr, and had the pleasure of eating with the 2 homeowners whereas they have been visiting Montreal at Sushi Momo (it’s the very best all vegan sushi restaurant we’ve ever been to btw). We couldn’t probably go to Brooklyn and never cease by their place!






Present time!
What a present! In the event you’re trying to see a present that makes you’re feeling all of the feels, that is positively one in every of them. I cried like a child, and nearly peed my pants from laughing. Greater than as soon as. Such a touching story. I’m glad I didn’t know what it was about earlier than seeing it, I feel it made it that significantly better. Would you ever see a present entering into blind?
