Who is ready for the MOMO CRAWL?? @momocrawl

Tibetan and Nepali dumplings every which way. Steamed, fried, served with jhol (soup). Filled with beef, chicken, veg, potato, paneer, goat, pork, yak—you name it. Accompanied by a rainbow of sauces 🌈, depending on the particular place.

As a 14-year Jackson Heights local, I love the annual Momo Crawl, and not only for the chance to try so many dumplings at just $1 apiece. I love the energy of the day, the coming together of our community and others to celebrate so much: Himalayan culture in NYC, immigrant-owned food trucks and restaurants, cross-cultural curiosity, diversity.

And I love seeing the beautiful momo on a pedestal for the day. It deserves celebrating! 🥟 It’s traveled a long road to get here.

A few things to know:
• The event is 12-5 this Sunday in Diversity Plaza, Jackson heights.
• There are 31 participating restaurants/vendors this year. That’s 31 momos to try!
• You have until Friday night at midnight to purchase your regular ($10) or limited-edition ($50) passport (ticket) to the crawl online. Only a limited number of walk-up passports will be available on Sunday.
• There is also a Momo Crawl NYC app!

I’ll be there with one of my kids. Who else is in? 🥟🥟🥟

Endless summer in Rockaway, Queens! 🌊☀️

We’re just back from an epic city-beach staycation 40 minutes from home, having rented an Airbnb for a few nights in Rockaway, the beach of Queens. This area only gets better with age. Our whole trip can be viewed in our Story highlight, but here are some great spots to hit up this holiday weekend:

📍@lacevicheriany for Peruvian ceviche, causa + more
📍Best Caribbean for Jamaican breakfast, lunch + dinner
📍@the_beachtender for the best beach Nutcrackers!
📍@therockawayhotel for incredible views + great cocktails
📍@connollysrbny for a frozen piña colada
📍@tacowaybeach for delicious fish tacos + more
📍@themoonlot for Thai snacks, drinks + desserts

Those are in the reel, but we also love Nigerian spot @thecradlenyc, @rockaway_roasters for great coffee + breakfasts, @umasrockaway for Uzbek food, @marasicecreamparlor for homemade (also boozy!) ice cream, @roccosofrocbeach for fresh Italian pastas + more, and @coastalyogurtco for delicious fro-yo.

What’s your favorite Rockaway spot?

Crossing the Delaware River, NJ —> PA and back again. ✨

We love visiting towns along the Delaware—the pull of that river is real! Last weekend we spent some time around Hopewell, Lambertville, and Washington’s Crossing, NJ; and New Hope, Yardley, and Newtown, PA. Everything was within a 20-minute drive, lots to do + eat! Some highlights:

• @martinesriverhouse for lunch in New Hope
• @underthemoonlambertville_ for brunch in Lambertville
• @vaultbrewing in Yardley for local beer + very good pizza/calzones
• @yardleyicehouse for water ices (with custard, natch)
• @washingtoncrossingnj state park for a fascinating dose of U.S. history + pretty hiking trails
• @itsnutts for terrific Trenton-style tomato pie (plus homemade ice cream)

This area is a two-hour drive from NYC, making it a fabulous weekend getaway. Save this post for a weekend travel idea!

If Laramie in SE Wyoming isn't on your radar, here's why it should be!

Last month we had the pleasure of eating + hiking our way around Laramie for a new post that's now up on the site--see the link in our bio (#sponsored by @visitlaramie). This small city delivers in a big way, with a diverse range of restaurants (and lots of regional Wyoming foods), plenty of breweries, free museums at the University of Wyoming, and truly incredible scenery a short drive in any direction.

We easily could have stayed longer than three days in Laramie, and next time we will (and we’ll fish the trout-filled rivers when we do!). It's just a two-hour drive north of Denver, FYI.

If you're Wyoming-bound, save this post for the following Laramie highlights:

Hiking:
Vedauwoo Climbing Area
Medicine Bow-Route National Forest (Snowy Range)

Eating:
@alibiwoodfire
@cavalrymansteakhouse

Post-beach Nigerian eats! Finally had the chance to lunch at @thecradlenyc after a gorgeous morning on Rockaway’s Beach 97. We’ve passed by it several times before, but never had the time to sit. Today we did, helped by the fact that my 9-year-old was interested in Nigerian food after studying the country in school last year. 🇳🇬

He remembered egusi, jollof rice, and puff puff, so that’s what we tried! Specifically:

•the chicken bowl: roasted chicken thigh over tomatoey jollof rice, with sweet plantains and roasted broccoli
•the veg bowl, with kale salad, plantains, and broccoli over jollof rice
•egusi (a flavorful stew of melon seed, greens, locust bean, dry fish, and crayfish), paired with roasted red snapper and pounded yam
•puff puff, fried dough balls with powdered sugar
•watermelon-mint-pineapple juice, one of many yummy juices + smoothies on offer

This food is fresh and healthy and packed with flavor! I loved the fish undertones in the egusi, and the house hot sauce is 🔥. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, and the 7-year-old also approved!

📍The Cradle NYC, 194 Beach 96th St., Rockaway

When you realize you haven’t shared anything to your feed in a week 🤦‍♀️, it’s time for a photo dump reel!

Not posting (outside of Stories) isn’t to say we haven’t been eating well, however. With family in town we’ve eaten plenty, including what’s featured in this reel:

📍 @salaastorianyc for sangria, pan tumaca, fried goat cheese w/honey, pulpo a la plancha, creamy rice with octopus + truffle
📍butter beer at @harrypotterny!

📍 @thequeensboro for spritzes, garlic-clam bread, roasted cauliflower

📍 @itsteranga_ for a delicious Senegalese jollof bowl with black-eyed peas and suya chicken (plus bissap to drink!)
📍 @libertybagelsny for breakfast today 🥯 (my kids looove those 🌈🌈)

Might we suggest working @therealbelluccis into your weekend dining plans? 🍕

Finally visited the newest iteration of the REAL Bellucci’s this past week, and it didn’t disappoint. The Margherita is superb. The Vodka-roni is an instant classic. The Triboro (marinara, pesto, vodka sauce) is super fun. I was lucky to try a little of the fresh clam pie too, which you must order a day in advance.

Bonus: There’s outdoor sidewalk and backyard seating!

That time last week when we finally tried Rocky Mountain oysters (while in Laramie, WY). 😜

Does everyone know what these are? Deep-fried bull testicles, plain and simple. Here’s a pile of them served on top of prime rib at the excellent @cavalrymansteakhouse.

Did they taste like chicken? Not exactly. They’re meaty, but also so simply seasoned that the cocktail sauce they’re served with helps a lot. I was relieved to find they weren’t gelatinous inside, which I expected (feared) for some reason!

We all tried a few bites—definitely didn’t eat all of these, but about half. They weren’t bad at all, but not our favorite thing either. The kids found it funny, of course, especially following our trip to the rodeo the next night: “How do they get the balls off if the bulls are so wild?” 🤣

A good question, indeed.

Four days in New Orleans in 40 seconds 🦞🐊🎺🦀

We had such an incredible time, as always, in NOLA last weekend. It was my third visit to the Crescent City, but my kids’ first, and while you might not peg it as a family-friendly destination, they loved it as much as we did. They immediately got that NOLA magic: the insanely good food, the amazing music, the distinct culture, the beautiful landscapes (those live oaks!), the art and architecture. (The beads, masks, and voodoo dolls too!)

It’s hard to eat poorly in NOLA. We already have 42 local dishes and drinks outlined on our site (link in bio), but I’ll be adding some new ones in coming weeks.

Eateries/businesses featured in this reel include:

Two hours north of NYC, the Kartrite Resort + Indoor Waterpark in the Sullivan Catskills is like Vegas for families, in the best possible way. #sponsored @sullivancatskills @kartriteresort

Our kids haven’t stopped talking about it, and truth be told, we haven’t either! We loved the water attractions, the great food and drink, and the fun family QT just as much as the kids loved taking the lazy river at full tilt over and over again. 🤣

There’s really something for everyone, and @resortsworldcatskills is just down the street with more great dining options (and the super fun @topgolf). The town of Monticello also has some good bakeries and diners to check out.

This part of the #sullivancatskills really makes for a perfect weekend getaway for families. Read the link in our bio for more details!

Noods on a burger with Indian flavors? Yes, please

Noods on a burger with Indian flavors? Yes, please!

I love the Punjabi burger at @desi.bites.cafe_nyc in South Richmond Hill. Aloo tikki patty, tomato, onion, yogurt, green chutney, and ketchup join the pile of noodles on top to make a very messy + very satisfying snack. And it’s only $5! (Add a slice of paneer for another dollar.)

The chaats are very good here too, but I was drawn to this burger since I’ve not seen it anywhere else, including Jackson Heights. Plus it seems to be what every person orders here, in the heart of Little Punjab.

This is a great stop to make on Punjab Way (101st Ave) after visiting a Sikh temple—there are a few gurudwaras nearby. Find this and tips on eating through the heart of Little Guyana/Liberty Ave in my forthcoming self-guided food tour of Richmond Hill, in collaboration with @itsinrichmondhill and @queens_edc. Stay tuned—it’ll be published on the website in early June!

This is the beautiful chicken tinga taco from @lostacosdelajefany on Roosevelt Ave at 77th St. Tacos de pollo are usually what I order my 6-year-old; they’re a little less exciting to me. But these are hard to resist, shredded chicken with smoky chipotle sauce, leveled up with a squeeze of lime and the cart’s salsas. It’s super satisfying.

The taco campechano is likewise delicious, a mix of beef and chorizo, and the carne asada, recommended by Clara (la jefa), was also really good quality (I’m just not really a carne asada gal). I’ll get back to this newish truck soon to try more, because so far so great. 💯

Sybil's on Liberty Avenue has been a NYC institution for decades in the West Indian community of Richmond Hill, Queens. Viburt “Cookie” Bernard, son of the late owner Sybil Bernard-Kerrutt, recently gave us a peek inside his kitchen (he also refused to let us pay for this food!). What an operation! Highly recommend you pay Sybil’s a visit if you haven’t yet. You really can’t go wrong here.

I’ll be featuring more from Richmond Hill in coming weeks as part of a partnership with @itsinrichmondhill, and also because I’m so curious to learn more about this fascinating (and delicious) part of Queens.

P.S. This is my first-ever reel with voiceover! Should I do more?? 🤔

Ah, the spicy aguachile negro with shrimp, dark in color from the addition of soy sauce, at the excellent @mariscoselsubmarino. I can still recall the heat of this dish! 🌶 Also pictured are the delicious tacos el rey (with shrimp, steak, and melted cheese) and the perfect refreshing drink: the off-menu rusa, pairing Squirt soda with chamoy, Tajín, a tamarind-coated straw, and lots of lemon and lime.

This meal was so good I had to bring another aguachile home, so I went with the mixed-seafood rojo. It’s less spicy than the negro, but after marinating during my walk home, it was also pretty darn spicy! Next time I’ll get the milder verde for the kids. 😋

What a gem of a local spot. It should be constantly crowded, but it was pretty quiet during a weekday lunch. Run, don’t walk! 🍤

For a surefire winner of a Mother’s Day brunch in Queens, look no further than @bistroeloisenyc in Jackson Heights! As a lover of great food and drink, I enjoy this French bistro immensely, and as a mom, I would love to be celebrated there again, as I was on my birthday earlier this year (hint, hint, @sbr_photostream 🤣).

There’s huge outdoor seating space available, you can choose from a brunch menu or the regular menu, and while there’s a good-looking dessert menu here, you also have the option of heading next door to the always-incredible Cannelle Patisserie to pick up sweets.
