NYC: Oh what a night! One of those epic nights out

Washington Square Park, New York

You know it’s been a great night out, when you don’t want to go home and end up having Korean food at 4 in the morning, but let’s start from the beginning, or wait, let’s start after our dinner at Saikai:

After Saikai we walked through Washington Square Park down to The Dove on Thompson Street to meet Alex. Washington Square Park seems to be packed with people in the summertime, no matter what time it is, and this was also the case that night. It’s such a nice place, but man, that weed smell was everywhere!

The Dove was closing for good a couple of days later and Alex  had decided to go every single night in the week before the closure. We stayed at The Dove for a couple of cocktails, but the atmosphere there were a bit sad due to the closing, so we decided to continue our evening at Malt House a little further down the street. I’ve never tried Abita beer before, but Mende talked so warmly about the strawberry brew that I had to try one.

Of course a night like that was doomed to end in blurry selfies and tequila shots. But wait! Just when I thought the night was over, Sue convinced me to join her for a late night/early morning visit to The Kunjip, which is open 24 hours. We completely over-ordered, so even with our new, tequila-fueled appetite, we couldn’t finish half of it, so we gave up and finally decided it was time to hit the subway. What a night!

Ninja Air Fryer 4-in-1 Pro
$128.99

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They're easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$199.95

The Ninja CREAMi is hands down the best ice cream maker I’ve tried. What I really like is the texture. The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy, better than anything I’ve managed with other machines. It’s also incredibly easy to use: you prep your base, freeze it overnight, and then let the CREAMi do the rest. With several one-touch programs, you can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even smoothie bowls, and the re-spin function lets you make your batch softer if you prefer. You can go all in with decadent gelato, or make lighter, low-sugar or dairy-free versions. You can even add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, nuts, or fruit to make it your own. It’s a fun, reliable machine that makes experimenting with flavors at home so much more exciting.
