Samsung Galaxy Studio

This is one of the coolest (and maybe only?) studios I've ever been to in my entire life. Not only are the workers super nice (I'm talking about you Myles), but you get free shit too :D

There's a café with different pastries and juice/coffee.

And tablets where you can order from.

They make good use of their phones.

This is another one of their pastries; a nutella croissant, I believe.

Another one of the ordering tablets, filled out.

A 3-D printed shoe.

A Gif-making set.

Before they renovated and had the gif-making set, they had the photobooth, and this was a result of that after my first visit:



I even framed it :'>

Also, they'll occasionally play "Notecracker", which is basically charades, but you get a chance to win free stuff.

Of course, they have a variety of their products displayed for you to play with.

Okay, I'm gonna stop here because I do a terrible job at this, and because there's already a great post about this place at Terresa Ling's blog! I missed a lot of stuff about this place, so her post will cover all of it. Go check it out and visit the place before it closes!!!!



February in New York

It's time for another "let's see what kitty did recently" post! 

I thoroughly enjoyed my mid-winter vacation break a few weeks back, but if you're not a teacher or a student, you most likely didn't have a vacation that week. I, however, relished every second of it, and accomplished the task of going to new food places.

On Thursday before break, this monstrosity happened.

And I went to school. Yippee. Not relevant to food, but I thought I would share. We can talk about how terrible that terrible experience if you had to go out that day too.

Also a little irrelevant, but on Friday I went to the Samsung Galaxy Studio with my friends, and the employees were so nice ;v; I made myself a Benedict Cumberbatch compact, and got some food items. Above is a spinach and feta pastry, and a juice (that I can't remember the name of, but it had ginger and it was interesting. Sweet greens, a green juice, was good too.).

Later that day, my group and I stopped by The Tea Shoppe so my friend (hi Kaity) could pick up some tea leaves for her friend. 

So many tea options!

After we got the goods, we went to:

Woah fancy crêpes.

Here are all the crêpes my posse and I got. Not going to go too into details because I might make a separate post about it. They were delish.

Some other day, I went to Umami Burger. Again, not going to go too into detail because this also might be an upcoming post.

And after that, I wanted to knock another place off my list, so we went to Mille-Feuille bakery. Their almond chocolate croissants are popular, so I wanted in on the goodness.

Quick aside, but not really because it's what I did over the break. So I've been replaying the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series, and I can't even. Do any of you play it? If you don't, you should.

Back to that day. Afterwards, we headed to the Samsung Galaxy Studio again. This was the cosmetic bag that I customized, and this also shows how that (gay) lawyer game has taken over my life.

Another cool thing this studio has is it its 3D printer.

Right by the studio is the Chobani Store! Once again, I might have a separate review on this. This blueberry walnut yogurt was very good (even if you can't see it).

They handed out this bracelet too! I always forgot to wear it though :(

And now for some random food bits.

Have you tried these new Chips Ahoy cookies? They're pretty good, although I had low expectations for them. If you want an actual review on this, I recommend this blog. Great for junk food reviews.

From my favorite muffin cart, which I've yet to review, a cranberry muffin.

And lastly, I finally found these chips... From months ago. Good thing these have an eternal shelf life. They weren't amazing, and kind of tasted like spicy ketchup chips. I don't think you're missing anything if you didn't find these.

Welp, that wraps it up! Are you looking forward to March? Saint Patrick's Day? Pi Day? Just spring in general? Tell me in the comments what you yearn for! Happy March!!

Georgetown Cupcakes.

 Georgetown Cupcakes

New York, NY 1001

 Cupcakesss~

What to say. Not much really, other than they're O.K. I got this chocolate-y cupcake, and it was...interesting. Not to sound like a douche, (aside from this being a written as a "food critic") but I feel like the frosting was too much for the cupcake. They're already small as is. The frosting takes up like two-thirds of the bloody cupcake, I could barely taste the chocolate, which in my opinion wasn't that good, it could've done more with sweetening, although I'm not to sure as to the direction the cupcakes are meant to taste. If the direction was sweet, they've not done a good job at it :T. I may be sounding very critical on my judgment, especially since this is like, my first cupcake. Though after having this one I'm not too sure if I'm gonna go and get another one, since every cupcake there has virtually the same proportions between frosting and cake part.

Mine is the one with sprinkles, canat it's chocolate. Gooooooood. Though, this won't even probably reach anywhere too deep into the interwebs, I feel that this needs clarifying. I do understand that some people are into the frosting overshadowing the actual cake thing itself, I'm not one of those people. Although, I might just revisit Georgtown cupcakes some time in the future, who knows. I was going to get the Red Velvet cupcake, but my friend said it wasn't that good, so then I got the chocolate vanilla, and now it's okay. I guess.
