Spice Alley
Bucket list item #2811 Spice Alley Sydney, Australia Why yes, that is me stuffing my face with dumplings. Why yes, they were certainly delicious! That’s the magic of Spice Alley: everything is delicious. You don’t know what Spice Alley is? Let me indulge you. Spice Alley is, as the name says, a little alley in Sydney filled with a diverse array of Asian cuisines ranging from Singaporean to Indian to Malaysian. There are all sorts of Asian choices. So much so that it’s overwhelming. I went with a group of friends and the amount of time it took us to decide what to eat was a little painful. This place…
Hubert
Bucket list item # 2810 eat at Hubert Sydney, Australia Every once in a while, I throw in the towel and put zero effort into taking photos of a bucket list check. Sorry, guys! We went to Hubert for our anniversary and I just couldn’t be bothered with bringing my camera, especially considering the fact that the place was so darn dark. It seemed like a battle I wasn’t willing to fight. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk about it though! Hubert is a French restaurant in Sydney with all the ambiance. Its low lighting is reminiscent of candles and the wafting music is just loud enough to…
Loopy Doopy rooftop bar
Bucket List item #2458 – Loopy Doopy rooftop bar On the tippy top of the Conrad Hotel, sixteen stories above the streets of Manhattan, lives an unassuming little rooftop bar. It’s not fancy or grand like many elevated drinking establishments, but you will discover nirvana. The beautiful view will bestow some smiles, but the drinks? Those will leave you in ecstasy. Any time I add an item to the bucket list via some sensationalist news media source, I’m always weary. Just because a food item is larger than life does not mean it’s the best. It’s a novelty, so I went into Loopy Doopy thinking as such. What I found…
A Weekend in Manitou Springs
Bucket List item #932 – Manitou Springs Colorado, USA A weekend in Manitou Springs was the first item Dave and I checked off my bucket list and it was a weekend we still talk about to this day. It was our first Valentine’s Day together. I was still at the Art Institute at the time and had taken a travel landscape class. I had to photograph a lot in Manitou for a project and just fell in the love with the city. However, I wasn’t able to properly enjoy the city because I was too busy photographing it. I badly wanted to go back. When the Valentine’s Day holiday rolled…
Rainbow Bagels
Bucket List item #966 – Eat rainbow bagels @ The Bagel Store New York, New York You heard that right: rainbow fucking bagels! I guarantee you’ve seen this massive craze in NYC for years now. There are lots of stores serving up something similar these days, but we went straight to the source for the OG rainbow bagel. Approaching the shop, it’s surprisingly unassuming, but there’s a line at the door. This is a grab-and-go joint, so don’t expect to sit and enjoy your colorful goodness. You’ll have to be patient and take your bagel to go. They have a plethora of bagel and smear options, but we went straight…
