First and foremost, I must apologize for not updating! I will update as much as I possibly can when I find myself free, like today, and will like to share with you my stories and pictures!
This past Friday evening, I have attended the Pace Inter-Collegiate Karaoke night at Pace University. This event is held at Pace University in the famous Schimmel Theater (where James Lipton is a professor there and he also does his show “Inside the Actor’s Studio”) and coordinated by the United Chinese Student Association. Representatives from different colleges gathered and competed in a singing competition where they perform twice — first round the song of their song and second round a random song that is given to them. My brother is in charge of this association so there was no way I could have missed it. Plus I am an alumni there so it was a good opportunity to go back to my old stomping ground and relive memories there. I was told free food at the event. I let my brother know that Finechinagirl is not going because of free food, but because of the love for food and for the love of Pace University. World of difference!

Here are some snap shots of the food and bubble tea. I would haven taken more pictures, but I was busy stuffing my face with bubble tea and food because I have not eaten the whole day before!

I must have passed by this sign way too many times and had no idea that it is a dessert bar. Located on the bristling street of St. Mark’s Place where many new and upcoming restaurants fight for survival, Spot seems to be hidden away. Apparently, Spot is plenty known within the local community through word of mouth and I will explain later. I personally don’t like it that they’re located in the basement, right beneath Pho restaurant, but on the positive note, the restaurant doesn’t get overcrowded like at a chain restaurant like Applebees or TGI Fridays.

Have you ever had a craving for Chinese food or noodles but didn’t feel like going downtown to Chinatown to get it? I know I do and sometimes, I just don’t have the time or the patience to go over there. Be advised that you must bring a fatter wallet than you normally do because Sammy’s is not only not located in Chinatown, but they also do not charge Chinatown prices. Think about that! Located in the West Village, Sammy’s is the sure quick solution for your my Chinese craving!
