Lower East Side Gallery Outting
I checked out an edgy two-person exhibition, Dirty Words, featuring new works by Joe Nanashe and Michael Scoggins, in collaboration with Catinca Tabacaru Gallery.
The works were aesthetically pretty, especially all the framed pieces- the works seemed suspended in mid-air- and the content was definitely a conversation starter.
The presentation is from JUNE 25th – JULY 31st 2105- go check it out.

Bubble Tea
While eating at the diner Cup and Saucer, I noticed a new store with black tinted windows across the street.
The signage didn’t, at least to me, reveal what the store had to offer. If owner’s goal was to intrigue nosy people, like myself, they hit the mark.
Walking into Fomosa Cafe was nothing that I expected. Chinatown is a very old area surrounded by sturdy brick buildings. This shop was a ultra modern café. Everything was sleek and black with bright graphic murals throughout. Foreign pop music played near the counter as you reviewed the menu.
The menu had so many option, but the namesake bubble tea was chosen and it was a great option, for the warm spring afternoon. The best part about ordering bubble tea is watching the machine seal the top and then breaking the seal with your straw.
The staff was very courteous and didn’t mind me snapping photos. Yelp reviews mention the food is good, which I will keep in mind my next go around.
Mi So…. Ramen
Traditional Ramen broth can be chicken or beef based, but now that Miso Ramen is becoming more popular and readily available, pescetarians and vegetarians can rejoice! With my first bowl of Miso Ramen, I was expecting a light udon type broth, but the version I had was rich and hearty, there was the perfect balance of texture with crunch from bean spourts and scallions complimenting the tenderness of the curly noodles.
My latest Miso Ramen meal, pictured above, was at Ochado in the lower east side of New York. The small restaurant was filled and my party gladly opted for bar seating. It was such a treat to see the chefs working quite precisely on each order.
I look forward to more bowls of Ramen and won’t mind waiting for the meal because it’s truly artful in presentation and taste.
