Banana Coconut Chocolate Croissant at Lafayette – NYC
Hurrah! My appetite is back! In fact, last night, after too many shameful $5 lychee martinis at Verlaine, I somehow managed to scarf down a slice of pizza on the way home and then a bowl of instant Korean ramyun when I got there. And yes, before I went out, I had a galbi (Korean BBQ rib) dinner.

Pretzels, Raclette, and Yak Rolls – ZH
I can’t write about Zurich forever, so this is the last post until the next trip. (The BF is threatening another trip in September, but I’m ignoring him for now.) My favorite place in Zurich had to have been Zürich Hauptbahnhof (the Zurich Main Station, HB for short). On the weekends, when most of the stores in the city were closed, HB would at least be open until 8pm for our food shopping pleasure. (Definitely not New York, but you take what you can get.) Here are a few highlights from the station… MORE »
