September 15th 2024: Hanging Out in Stamford CT

 On our way to NYC today, we headed to Stamford CT,

Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Landmark Tower

Latham Park

Old First Congregational Church,
1 Walton Place

Avon Theater Film Center

The Classic Condominium

getting lunch at Kyushu Ramen and Sushi, a Japanese restaurant in town.

We got the Eel, Avocado and Cucumber Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll,

the Shrimp Tempura Ramen (Shrimp tempura, bamboo shoot, seaweed, soy sauce egg, scallion) and Tonkotshu Ramen (Shio, Chashu pork, kikurage, bamboo shoot, mustard leaf, soy sauce egg, scallion, sesame seed, black garlic oil)

and the Karaage Chicken Bao (Japanese fried chicken, Cucumber, Japanese pickle, spicy mayo).

I have to say that the chicken as a filet was really crispy, but other than that, all the other dishes were just so-so. At least my family enjoyed their meal.

From here, we headed to Brooklyn NY

Leif Ericson Park

for a wedding dinner at Park Asia Restaurant. Pretty nice inside,

although they seemed to rush us along, putting food on our individual plates instead of letting us pick and choose, and breaking down quickly at the end of the day. Really interesting Fuzhou style wedding though.

From here, it was back to our hotel for the night at the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown West

Nice hotel. Looking forward to the Statue of Liberty tomorrow.
