Today , it was a different evening . @themurdermysterycompany conducted a fun evening where we were all party to an impromptu session of solving a murder act !! Props, casting, theme, story - everything was perfect. The actors & actresses (all residents of our building ) suddenly started living breathing the characters they were asked to play. It was a memorable evening overall #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #dwitiyaardho #usadiaries #usa #exploreusa #experienceoftheday #newexperience #instahome #instagramhub #instagrammers #hdnsugw #bzblikesz
We are usually not that mushy mushy - have to go out on certain days kinda couple. But this time on #valentinesday2019 we went out to this #italian restaurant in the neighborhood , which my #indian friends in the apartment are very fond of and they are right , even we loved the place. Looked like one third of #secaucus was either dining there or waiting. This 16 year old place with sitting capacity of 160-200 really surprised us with the food, drinks and service. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #foodblogger #foodielife #goodfood #goodvibes #picoftheday #experienceoftheday #memorable_day #lifeintheotherside #usadiaries #usa #exploreusa #exploreamerica #travelblogger #indianblogger #luvzafter #15febfri #bekindzz #tytyblog #rndvous
Sitting and thinking of the years that passed , the madness , behind this day , right from school days. The memorable ones. The changing cities. The changing faces around us. But I still love to think , I have people around me. What's your fondest memory of Valentine's day ? #avrilsfoodjournee #lookbackatlife #valentinesday2019 #vday #pictureoftheday #reflection #instahome #instagramhub #sitback #fleetingmoments #hjblogi #hvdd2k19 #valenn14 #jnrrwi #vvvdayzto #luvidayz
Last Sunday when asked what would I like to have for lunch - my instant reply was something I never had before , for example - #Ethiopian As I know , till I am here I must try everything which I can't get back in Ooru and we all know in Bangalore we don't have any place serving Ethiopian Cuisine We started with Sambosa , there were 2 options (lentils or beef) - what we chose is so easy to guess. Then we chose the #meskerem combo - which comprised of Tibs wat, minchet abish wat, Gomen Besaega in Non Veg and Miser Alech & Miser Wat in Veg . What I understand by now - to visit Ethiopian restaurants it's best to go in a group and savour all the dishes ,like in community eating. The main course is placed in the centre of the table and diners pass a platter or #injera , spongy rounds of bread made of fermented ref,a rye like Ethiopian grain. It absolutely reminded me of something called Khali dosa which I used to have in my office . The different dishes were very flavourful , definitely spicy , slightly picklish (the meat dishes) They have vegetarian and non vegetarian options separately , so this is indeed a great option for Indians travelling in NYC. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usadiaries #dwitiyaardho #differentcuisine #newyorkexplorer #newexperience #worldcitizen #lifeintheotherside #traveller #travelgram #exploreusa #natgeo #bbcgoodlife #bbcgoodfood #13thfeb2k19 #13febzfooodiz #mytredg #totebagzy #thefridaycmng #buzlikez
Me and the e bike .. my friends who know me from my childhood would understand this connection . This Sunday afternoon we roamed around a bit in Dumbo ( DUMBO, shortform for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) and then finally crossed the @brooklynbridgeig This cable or suspension bridge had been in my fancy since I saw the movie #kalhonaho P.c - @rajarshee_kar #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usadiaries #usa #lifeintheotherside #travelblogger #travelgr #travelphotography #travelgram #instagramhub #newyorkexplorer #newyorkcity #newyorker #newyork_world #samsungphotography #nofilter #noedit #chillokayz #febizfab #buszliksz #tue12dy #thegylogypsy #justbeu14

Thinking about last weekend , the stayover at our cousin's place, watching the #statenislandferry & the #statueoflibertyđŸ—œ entire night . The walk around seaport next afternoon. Slaying the beast in @cobbleandco , walking around @batteryparkliving , the #sunset & a pic infront of this gorgeous backdrop. It's already 17 weeks here ...

While all the attention is towards #kumbhmela in #india , here's a glimpse of another celebration in a different part of the country. Calcutta or Kolkata is perhaps the only city in India to have a #chinatown . Today being the first day of the #chinesenewyear , here's a glimpse of the joy, cheer, celebration around #chinesenewyear2019 Thank you @bengali_with_a_vengeance for this video. #avrilsfoodjournee #calcuttadiaries #calcuttacacophony #calcutta #calcuttainstagrammers #calcuttaconnection #celebration #travelblogger #travelgram #incredibleindia #incredibleindiaofficial #exploreindia #foodtalkindia #travelindia #traveller #instagramhub #instatravel #sokolkata #thekolkatabuzz✔ #6feb_2k19 #6febfoodiez #quirkymoz #6fbdy #mazelikez #beestzz
Be it early morning or after a walk around the waterfront in the evening , I love to sit down to reflect with a cup of #darjeeling . In the other side of the world where I am yet to figure out where to get the right leaves for my cup , #typhoo comes to my rescue as always. That's my fix. P.S. This is not a paid collaboration #avrilsfoodjournee #tea #tealover #tealoveforever #usadiaries #usa #foodblogger #foodphotography #lifeintheotherside #dwitiyaardho #5febzfabz #likexz8 #khazlikez #chichiblog33 #ujeygeb #tue5dy
Sunday Brunch scene - chose @cobbleandco because of the ambience ; bright and lively ! I ordered for #thebeast (3 burger patty, American cheese, crisp lettuce ,tomato, onion,pickle,special sauce) ... According to them post a pic with #cobbleandCo & finish it and they award you a drink #onthehouse !! Avril proudly claimed her drink once she finished the beast !! #avrilsfoodjournee #sundayspecial #burgerlove #foodblogger #foodpic #accolades #pictureoftheday #picoftheday #manhattan #southseaport #4febr2019 #4fbjn #eventimez1 #ghutdb #honlikez
Before another weekend hopping starts I must make my visit to this #tapas #bar memorable not only because of the excellent drinks and food but the amazing people working there for years - like Davidz and Eduardo. Initially we chose the bar as it was almost dinner time and we knew we are entering only for a drink and two. The drinks were so good , we hung around for hours and that's when I observed Davidz at the tapas bar , silently working alone creating 'art' on each dish. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usadiaries #usa #weekendbegins #weekendvibes #pictureoftheday #experienceoftheday #huffposttaste #phonephptography #instayum #instagramhub #newyorkexplorer #newyorker
The same time of the day at different places , at different age have different meaning !! This is that time of the day , when I am the pensive most ... Since teenage !! Love the pink tinge in the sky... #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usadiaries #dwitiyaardho #skygazer #lifeintheotherside #pictureoftheday #noediting #nofilter #methinks #thehugyhu #doslikez
This afternoon as I was reading something , I looked out and suddenly saw flurries and soon it was a #whiteout . I left the book , looked out , opened my window and the tiniest particles indeed looked like the ones I have seen in frozen .I wanted to go out , but resisted , instead I engaged in this childlike play. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #climatechange #polarvertex #usadiaries #dwitiyaardho #newyork #newexperience #31stjan2k19 #31jnthu #cookiez11 #hbsheuev #konlikez
Something I love about Paris & #newyorkcity are these #graffiti , especially in New York ... You can find them at any place & they are really interesting ones ...

Coming from a city which is the only city in India which has a Chinatown , I love visiting Chinatown wherever I go. In the multiple visits in recent times... I am exploring #chinatown in #newyorkcity. Last we were at @joesshanghai ... They are famous for their soup dumplings . We took this crab with pork Soup dumplings which is about $9.95 without tax & service charge . It's like a community table , so be prepared to share the table with 2 or more groups after the 45 -60 mins wait . But the taste of this soup dumplings and the wall of Fame explains the wait time. Also, there is a special way to have it , else you will burn your tongue at the very start of your meal .. You can carry your own wine bottle. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #newyorkexplorer #newexperience #foodgasm #chinese #foodoftheday #foodblogger #fooosporn #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #dimsum #ggcobl #tuedy29 #instalikez11 #yuuyyaop #liylikes

It's almost a week and I still can't believe , that we actually braved the #snowstorm , that -13°C along with the wind which felt likevery-23°C and made it to #niagarafalls . I might visit this place later in Summer or Spring , but I know the thrill of seeing this for the first time in this form will always be etched in my inner mind. It's #nofilter #noedit so as to retain the charm as it was ! Thanks @rajarshee_kar ; it's a dream vacation !! #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #bucketlist #bbcgoodlife #lonelyplanet #experienceoftheday #exploreusa #instatravel #travelling #mytravelgram #travelphotography #igtravel #frozen #frozenniagra #phonephptography #bloggerin20191 #fridy25 #weekendbegins
India street is our one stop shop for anything and everything that an Indian or an Indian house hold needs. Familiar names like chutneys , biriyani pot, paradise, Apna Bazar, D Mart, Big Bazar throng the place to give us comfort indian taste. You can even find your A-Z spices , utensils , groceries, sweetshop everything. Right from the panwari shop to temple this is the place to find them . Absolutely a "maach-mishti & more" place. You can also find parlors , places to buy lehenga or Indian ethnic wear too. I am glad that this place is quite close to #secaucus , so that I can visit whenever I need or feel like. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #lifeintheotherside #usadiaries #jerseycity #citysecrets #bbcgoodlife #random #streetphotography #bloggerlife #travelblogger #travelgram #traveldiaries #visualstorytellers #indianblogger #indiaoutsideindia #thudy24 #beunicuee #likesthurzday #smartysmartz
