But in the interest of trying to have some music and photos for the wedding we went into NYC to meet with some DJs and photographers. Our first meeting was at a Starbucks on Delancey (which apparently used to be a Burger King back in the day) since the guy didn't have an office. It sounded a bit shady at first, but he was pretty professional and not too fobby, which is a plus.
While we waited Phil got in some quality Nintendo DS time. Look how happy he is!
After our meeting we stopped by a restaurant nearby called Congee Village for lunch. The decor was very cute - lots of greenery, murals on the wall and bamboo decorations. This isn't the actual table we sat at, but our table didn't have as nice a decoration behind it...
Being in Congee Village we had to order a bowl of congee. Yum!It was tasty, except for the bits of octopus...blech.
And chicken and Chinese mushrooms with rice in some kind of bamboo steamer. Also very tasty. Just watch out for the ginger! It may look like bamboo, but it is most certainly not...
Here's Phil posing at the front entrance of the restaurant in a comfy wooden chair.
After lunch we had some time to kill before we were scheduled to meet the next DJ, so we went to a bakery called Golden Dragon Boat that Phil's parents frequent for some tea. Phil was really excited about getting bubble tea for some reason so we picked up a cup on the way. Nothing like warm bubble tea to warm you up. Phil gives it a thumbs up.
After we met with the second DJ we headed over to Elmherst to the place where we're going to be having our reception, just to touch base with the coordinator there. The restaurant is called East Manor. Here's a little preview of the restaurant.
Phil's mom and dad were kind enough to join us and help negotiate our meeting with the coordinator.
And since we're there, might as well have dinner! Tofu...(minus a few pieces...)
Chinese veggies...
Ribs (of some kind)...
and Lobster...
A full day of Chinese food in NY - Phil is definitely happy ^__^
