Sunday, The Boy and I went to the Hester Street Fair which open earlier this month. There are some nice jewelry, and accessories vendors, but we came for the food. I talked to DJO from Mama O’s and he gave us some kimchi salsa. Luke’s Lobster was there, and we had to share a lobster roll an a shrimp roll. Also, we ate lamb bunnychow from South African restaurant Bunny Chow.
We ran into our friend John who biked down to Hester Street because he heard there would be pie, but there was none. Also, I thought that DB Sweets would be there as well selling cupcakes. Maybe it was an off weekend or maybe the vendors rotate. I will visit again in the next couple of weeks to try Malbon Brothers pulled pork.
A new “Spike Lee Joint” is this red apple and ginger flavored vodka. I wonder what it would taste like in a martini, substituting olives for lychee.
Saturday, May 22. Mama O’s Kimchee will be at Greenpoint Food Market sharing a table with Laena from Anarchy In A Jar. It’s condiment heaven!
Saturday, May 22. HyperGender Burlesque has a show called “Diasporic Dreams” featuring the founders of Brown Girls Burlesque, Aurora Boobrealis and Dame Cuchafrita. $15 WOW Cafe Theater.
Ongoing until June 6. Cirque De Soleil OVO is now playing at Randall’s Island. I am proud to say that I know Michelle Matlock who stars in the show. She plays the Ladybug. Many moons ago, Michelle had a one-woman called The Mammy Project. Also, Michelle is in an article in the New York Times about the Dazzle Dancers who I saw at the Siren Festival ages ago. Good Times.
