Union Square Secrets?
I was in Union Square last week, dodging the crazy street performers and trying to navigate the crowds. It's buzzing, I'll give it that. But I noticed a lot of these little side streets, tucked away… more
Yeah, those alleys around Union Square can be a bit…intense. Definitely not somewhere you want to be lugging a suitcase. But they are full of cool stuff. Lots of tiny independent boutiques selling everything from vintage clothing to handcrafted jewelry – way more interesting than the usual tourist traps. There's this one amazing little cafe tucked away on Woosung Street, I think; seriously tiny, but the coffee's incredible and the pastries are to die for. It's easy to miss, but it's worth seeking out. Just be aware that some of the alleys are a bit dimly lit at night, so maybe stick to daytime explorations. And don't be afraid to just wander – that's half the fun! You'll stumble across things you'd never find on a map.
Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more
Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
