Last night we were @blacktailnyc for drinks and desserts. We tried every dessert they had on the menu , couldn't help clicking this pic when one of us, dipped her #churros in the caramel sauce provided . It was one of the crispy and most memorable churros I ever had. Hand model - @lakhanijayeeta If you are visiting the #downtown or #batterypark in #nycity , try this. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usadiaries #usa #america #nyceats #nyceating #bengalurudessertsclub #desserts #dessertstagram #bbcgoodfood #huffposttaste #nomnomnom #sweetcravings #sweettooth #newyorknewyork #newyorker

Remembering the double rainbow which kept forming and vanishing in front of our eyes a couple of weeks back when we visited #yosemitefalls The beauty of this place , the walk around the #Yosemite giant sequoia groves including the Mariposa, Merced, and the Tuolumne Groves . You can't walk without getting wet as it's in peak volume during the month of May and June #avrilfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usa #usadiaries #californiachronicles #california #sanfranciscoroads #worldcitizen #worldnomads #lifetime #vacationgoals #bbctravel #natgeo #naturalhues #nationalpridemonth

Sunday done right ! The steak was probably a little overdone than I originally asked for , but after all the physical activities we did last Sunday , it barely mattered. Look at the way my mashed potatoes were served , by the side ... Simply loved it. By the way, this restaurant has stood the test of time since 1890s. This is not in the city , but in #newyorkstate #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usa #usadiaries #steakhouse #steakdinner #huffposttaste #sunday #sundayvibes #sundayspecial #roadtrip #ilovenewyork #ilovemeat #beefsteak #newjerseysecrets #newjersey #exploreusa #experienceoftheday #bbcgoodfood #bbctravel #newyorknewyork #newexperience

I am a die hard fan of #mrsmaisel and eagerly waiting for season 3 of #themarvelousmrsmaisel by @amazonprimevideo . Grabbed this opportunity, while visiting #oculus this Tuesday. I would love to meet the actual #themarvelousmrsmaiselcasting or "Midge" some day.

Swinging by (literally) @mollyscupcakes was memorable , not only for the #samoa cupcake or their #coffee , but a note at a nook remembering someone associated with this place , that left an indelible mark on me. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usa #usadiaries #village #nyceats #nycsecrets #nycityworld #nycity #nycfood #NYC #nyc #ilovenyc❤️ #coffeeshop #caffeine #needforcaffeine

This evening after a lot of walking around I finally found myself parked on a bench at #washingtonsquarepark along with @madhurima.basu28 and listening to @robertleslie ! This frame in front of me was so #touching , that I couldn't help posting it , after a gap. This might not be an #ig_masterpiece #igworth pic , but it speaks a lot. #humantouch #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usa #usadiaries #ilovenyc #ilovenewyork #newyorknewyork #newyorkexplorer #newyorkcity #newyork_world #newyorker #newyorkattractions #waysofnyc #experienceoftheday #humansofnyc

If you are in SFO do not miss the #crabchowder or #clamchowder - it's a local emotion. The sourdough serves as the bowl too. P.s. a few years back kareems in Bangalore was serving paya in similar way - check my blog post in the bio #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usa #usadiaries #exploreusa #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscofood #fishermanswharf #seafood #cheeselovers #chowdar #travelgr #hemigram #travelgram #seafoodlove #exploreusa #exploreamerica #huffposttaste

We shared the table as that was the need of the hour , but unlike my earlier experiences - this community dining turned out as an amazing experience. The topics of discussion were so varied , that I don't even remember what was the first topic. It's a family run 22 years old restaurant. what I ordered : pot stickers , seafood clay pot with mushrooms and beans with a bowl of plain white rice . We also ordered for one #tsingtao and a pot of tea was served on the house . I shall remember this evening , for long. I do have a picture of all 5 of us, as a keepsake. #avrilsfoodjournee #avrillovestotale #payertolayshorshey #usadiaries #dinnerisdone #claypotdinner #usa #usadiaries #sanfrancisco #experienceoftheday #peopleareawesome #chinatown

For half a day , this morning - I experienced a time travel to a Danish town , where the entire town still reflects an era from the bygone. This is #solvang , a #danish town in the heart of #california . This reminded of our sojourn in #tranquebar , in southern India a couple of years back. It was badly affected during #tsunami in 2004 and barely thriving any more. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #worldnomads #usa #usadiaries #america #Unitedstates #travelerbyheart #travelblogger #travelgr #hemigram #travelling #aroundtheworld #californiachronicles #indiantravelblogger #danishcolony #losangeles #talesofamerica

To the bengalee in me - before I embark on a 10 day trip , I wanted to have my comfort food. That's me made. I am blessed , that I cook and still like it .. coz I have heard many times , those who cook don't like their own food. On the plate : Bhaat (rice) Cholaar daal (lentils) Muchmuchey Begun bhaja (crispy fried eggplant) Lau chingri (🦐 in gourd) & Green chilli (yes I eat them a lot) The pic just shows it all - was too eager to eat after this. #avrilsfoodjournee #avrillovestotravel #avrillovestoexplore #avrillovestocook #homefood #homecomforts #bengalifood #bengalibybirth #bengalibyheart #ilovehomefood #bengalicuisine #ensuringback #perfectlikez #vpost4likz #junecmg #halluamy #modiagainn #listedblogger

Last time I went to my #manicurista , she asked me why do I stick to the same shades of red, pink or orange.I said, those are the #womanly colors. She said next time you are visiting me , I will change your thoughts. I said , well , let's see. This time when I went, she actually remembered the conversation and chose these colors. As I am currently on a long leave, I did not mind. Later , I felt , not bad. I am sporting these colors for about 10 days and so far so good. Moral of the story - sometimes change is not bad. Don't resist. Try and go back to your original choice , in case you feel compelled. By the way, here most women have #manicured #colorfull #hands most of the time. I wonder , how they manage all the household chores with the #extensions. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #changeisgood #nailsofinstagram #nails💅 #waysoflife #waysofnyc #lifeinnewyork #opi #nailstagram #listedlikiesez #listedblogger #lifeblogzz #bishlikz #whowinlize #thurslikesz #cmngsnwkd #memoriesxrush

Even a simple dinner can make you happy . In Bangalore I might not understand, but I now , how much one waits to eat out. How the ladies who run the kitchen, wait for a change of taste. This dinner included : A pot of Tea & crackers (on the house) Egg drop soup (loved it, this could have been my dinner) Chow fun (my favorite meat) This dinner was made 'really sweet' with 2 scoop of ice creams by our Server. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #Unitedstates #chinesefood #chinesefoodlovers #chinese #dinnerscenes #asiancuisine #ilovechinesefood #chinachef #secaucusdiaries #tg4likz #dntaddlatez #billlikez #mevacy22 #listedlikiz #listedblogger

Is #summer complete without #mangoes ? Well not for me. I can't even think of summer without mangoes. That's why when an uncle and aunt came home with this box of #kesariaam , I was elated. Here , in the #United states , Kesari and Alphonso are the 2 varieties imported from the motherland. Needless to say, we relished them . #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #summerknocking #summer2019 #summervibes #india_gram #indianblogger #phirbhidilhaihindustani #donotmiss #noedits #nomnomnom #nomadlife #usa #usadiaries #ultralikez #Racistlikes #gt2likz #beculonez #iamlistedz #listedblogger

The New York Aquarium is the oldest continually operating #aquarium in the #United States, which opened in Castle Garden in Battery Park, Manhattan in 1896. In 1957, it was relocated to the #boardwalk in #Coney Island, #Brooklyn. The aquarium is operated by the #Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as part of its integrated system of four zoos and one aquarium, most notably the #bronxzoo The #sharkreef or #sharktank is very informative and is one of the key attraction. Once you go through all the facts , trivias and see this place, you will realize how important sharks are for the ecological balance in #aqualife #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #newyorkexplorer #newyork_world #newyorkattractions #newexperience #newyorker #ilovebeaches #ilovethesea #ilovenewyork #indiantravelblogger #ilovenyc❤️ #ilovenyc #likz4us #prymdymy #monhustlez #listedblogger #wrldcpcmg #branthebrokenn #suniwethr

We just came from a quarter of a day of #beachday and #vitaminsea , but it feels like we are back from a mini #vacation . Except this chill in the air - it was amazing. I never realized that a sea beach can be so chilling. But overall amazing experience , we cannot wait to go back again . Usually this time of the year, we used to visit #kannur or #pondicherry every year, in India #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #usadiaries #nycsecrets #nycgo #ilovebeaches #ilovethesea #rememberingkannur #beach #atlanticsea #travelerbyheart #worldcitizen #worldnomads #coneyisland #coneyislandbeach #islandcountry

Perhaps the only post or pic I could of think for today. I moved out of my parents house about 15 years back , so it's natural that I missed simple things like share my mom's saree , leave aside #twining. This is a pic from my brother's wedding last year . We had picked up this #banarasi from #benaras years back and saved it aside respectively in Kolkata and bangalore , to wear together. I guess this will be a frame of a #lifetime #avrilsfoodjournee #avrilspeaks #atalearound #banarasisaree #lovesaree #mothersday #momdaughter #twininginsaree #throwbackmoments #mothersday #mothersday2019 #thinkingofmymom

Last Saturday I was visiting the #brooklynbotanicalgarden for a glance of the #matsuri #sakura #cherryblossomfestival The plan was to go for lunch after that, as it was drizzling. Suddenly the sun beamed and we changed our plans. We planned to have an open air lunch from a food truck , we knew. When I came back to the stone platform with my food, I saw my #bagwati * adorned with #cherryblossom *Those who have seen the movie #zindaginamilegidobara will know , where this word comes from. This is not staged and absolutely random. Thank you @palgargidey for the gift, see I was carrying it on the right day. #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshey #springinbloom #springlook #spring2019 #pinkinthesky🌇 #pink #pinklove #usadiaries #usa #saturdayspecial #ilovenyc #iloveny #nycgo #nycityworld #stevemadden #wendzlkz #lannisterlikes #momsdayzlike #fashiontimes #ppllikz #dontmessnumbers
