Chinatown’s 69 Bayard Closing //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js While not a bastion of world-beating cuisine, Manhattan Chinatown's 69 Bayard Restaurant certainly has a flair all its own.

Dropping my car at my Boro Park repair shop afforded me the possibility of crossing a couple of spots off my BK Chinatown list. Always wanted to try Hong Kong Boy. What a name. Roast pork roast duck haw fun. #foodporn #eeeeeats #chinatown #nyc #sunsetpark #brooklyn #chinesefood #noodles

Kevin pulled me a nice ristretto shot on his last day at Cafe Grumpy #espresso #coffee #cafegrumpy #nyc #cafe #book #books #reading #nyccoffee (at Cafe Grumpy)

A visit to Morgenstern's was a must after checking out Mr Taka before volleyball on Thursday. Their chocolate sorbet is killer. Also got my fave mint chip + new flavor hawaij. Mr Taka was good - unctuous pork belly. #foodporn #eeeeeats #ramen #nyc #lowereastside #icecream #mrtaka #japanesefood (at Mr. Taka Ramen)

Tonight's @ramenlab first seating. Pork bun ruled the world. #eeeeeats #foodporn #nyc #chinatown #lowereastside #ramen #japanesefood #ramenlab (at Ramen Lab by Sun Noodle)

I wrote an Astoria cafe roundup for Queens.About.com, linked through my profile, covering @gossipcoffee @astoriacoffeeny @thequeenskickshaw @sixtybeanscoffee @ok_cafe @kinshipcoffee

Today's stellar HK style lunch @ Noodle Village w/ @adith1801. Brisket, curry oxtail, shrimp dumpling haw fun, soup dumplings #chinesefood #nyc #chinatown #foodporn #eeeeeats (at Noodle Village 粥麵軒)

The best gizzards I've had, the Spicy Gizzard appetizer at 四海居 (Four Seas Restaurant), a Tianjin spot, in Flushing. #flushing #queens #foodporn #eeeeeats #nyc #tianjin #chinesefood #mala (at 四海居)

It's hard to eat this kind of food solo. Very good Lao food at Thip Khao - similar to Northern Thai food I've had but funkier (in a good way). Sai oua, oob bae (goat stew), tam muk houng phet phet (super spicy papaya salad) #lao #laofood #dc #washingtondc #thipkhao #foodporn #eeeeeats (at Thip Khao by Chef Seng)

I just spent $140 on 2 5kg bags of this Niigata Koshihikari rice at Sunrise Mart. I'm told it would be around $30/bag in Japan. #rice #nyc #sunrisemart #red #japanese (at Sunrise Mart East Village)

Back from India and enjoying my first specialty coffee in a long while #nyccoffee #cafe #reading #book #brooklyn #nyc #parkslope (at Cafe Grumpy)

My last incredible home cooked meal at the Pillai stronghold before heading to the airport. Fish curry, red chili chutney & dosa! #indianfood #curry #mumbai #india #foodporn #eeeeeats (at Hiranandani Meadows)

The best paan I had in Bangalore, by a guy who slaps them together and plops them in your mouth himself. #paan #india #bengaluru #bangalore

The sweetest guy recommended I get this beautiful pork w/ raw shallots & peppers on the side. He also commandeered a Coke for me :) At gorgeous old school Nang Loeng Market. #eeeeeats #foodporn #thailand #bangkok #bkk #thaifood

Morning boat noodles at Doy Kuay Teow Reua (ต้อยก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ). #thaifood #boatnoodles #bkk #bangkok #thailand #foodporn #eeeeeats (at Doy Kuay Teow Reua (ต้อยก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ))

Homegrown cafe w/ great presentation and careful preparation. Like most BKK coffee it's on the dark side for me but one of the better shops I've visited. #cafe #coffee #bangkok #bkk #thailand #espresso #bangkokcoffee #factorycafe #pl (at Factory Cafe & Brew Bar)
