today, i finally tried sprinkles ice cream and it lived up to, even exceeded, my expectations! i want to hug whoever came up with the brilliant idea of mixing my two favorite things: ice cream and sprinkles cupcakes. i had the butter pecan which was good but the red velvet really took the cake (pardon the pun). the shop is absolutely adorable too with thomas jefferson’s ice cream recipe decorating the ceiling and a big white window seat for sitting. this ice cream, unlike sweet rose creamery, was definitely worth the trek.
i tried milo + olive a few weeks back and it did not disappoint. i’m still dreaming about the delectable food. everything our group had was so delicious and the atmosphere is very intimate. its tiny inside and we had to wait for longer than expected but was well worth it. yet another restaurant in LA added to my ‘must go back’ list
my friends and i have a tradition that every sunday before we go to church, we grab coffee up in LA, usually at intelligentsia in silverlake. i love the coffees here (especially the soy lattes), the latte art and their great selection of teas but what i love most is the beautiful building and ambiance. these mornings are some of my favorites and something i’m going to miss the most when i leave for new zealand.
i’ve been missing new york so much lately. of all the cities i’ve been to, new york city has got to be the one my heart gravitates towards the most. the more i go, the more i love it. when i was in 7th grade, i was blessed enough to spend two months on the upper east side for a ballet intensive and this past spring, i spent a week in greenwich village. here are some film pictures i took on my last visit to nyc.
