Long and behold the One, true and ONLY milk Boba you will need in your entire life: @tigersugar.usa . I've been hearing about Tiger Sugar's Boba for a hot minute. It wasn't until I was in the chinatown area that I decided to pay a visit. Store was flooded with people but lines moved quickly. I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Milk w/ Cream Mousse. YAO. First of all, that flippin' Boba was $6. I've never paid that much for Boba in my entire life but it was Friday night, I was feeling good and channeling my inner my inner Justin Timberlake because I just got paid😎. . Oh my god 🤯. SO GOOD. Eyes-roll-back orgasmic kind of good. The mousse is super creamy and the black sugar is served hot so as it drops to the bottom, you can feel the cold and hot temps blending with one another. Surprisingly the drink isn't as sweet as you'd expect because of the excellent ratio between milk and sugar. The sugar itself is deep, molass-ey with notes of coffee in between. My roommate and I drank in silence, nodded in mutual agreement and blissfully walked to the train in peace. . . . #foodie#nycfood #boba #milk #tea # tigersugar #chinatown #numnum
It's been a minute since I posted a or taken a #selfie but today will be an exception to support mi gente @bellaloungesalon. . It's been a few years since Ive been to a Dominican salon. Juana up in the heights had the best blow out for your buck in her tiny ass apartment. She got so big she put a public restroom in her living room, aside from her apartment. I didn't have the patience to wake up early, pray for a spot and spend hours talkin bochinche with the other women. Since then I ventured out other salons throughout the city. . In need of a haircut and self esteem boost, Bella Lounge Salon was a refreshing find in my new hood. The space is small but contemporary and the stylists are sweet with the quintessential Dominican charm and hospitality. Marisola gave me a wonderful blow out and haircut. She cut my hair dry which was unconventional to me but I was amazed how my layers blended in the end. After the cut she used a flat iron to add texture and waves, which again, was unconventional but I really loved how it turned out. At the end the damage was 65 which is about a third to half less then I would pay anywhere else in lower Manhattan. I could not be more pleased. . . . #selfie #haircut #bellaloungesalon#inwood #manhattan #Dominican #hair #waves
Surrounded by subway funk and soul-less venues, BLP is located underneath Columbus Circles in a tunnels of shops (Turnstyle) leading you to the abyss, aka A,B,C,D & 1 lines. If you feel worthy, I want you to come down like Aladdin; don't touch anything BUT the Saltena. There is a coffee shop near by that will charge $4 for crappy coffee in the size of a dixie cup. Paying more than $2 bucks for Starbucks coffee is the equivalent of being mauled by the 'Cave of Wonders'. You've been warned. . If you elbow a tourist and manage to get past the distractions, you'll find the underground gem that is BLP. As instructed, the Saltena is must. Saying it's similar to an empanada is probably taking the easy way out. The flavors and texture are much more complex. The crust is sweet and flakey; more like an arepa in the form of pastry. The insides are filled w/ a fragrant meaty stew and boiled egg. Peeps, be absolutely careful taking a fresh bite. It will incinerate your entire mouth. Word from the wise: make a small incision, let the air steam out and insides cool before devouring. The suspense will almost kill you as the aromatics strip-tease under your nose, revealing each flavor one by one. . The Cholas are bangin' if you're craving a sandwich but be careful of ordering too much because the Saltena alone is deceptively filling. . . . #foodie#foodporn #nyceats #nycfoodie##midtown #columbuscircle #bolivianfood #bolivianllamaparty#numnum #goodeats
