New York City

Discovered two matcha cafes in New York City—Mika’s Direction & 12 Matcha. A day filled with cookies, matcha and beautiful interiors.

Spring is here, and the city is in bloom. I’ve been enjoying morning walks, spotting cherry blossoms, and beautiful flowers.

The Manhattan Bridge is one my favorite NYC walks—Whether it’s part of my daily commute or a spontaneous city stroll, I never get tired of the beautiful views.

March so far has been all about exploring! and checking off places on my map I enjoyed matcha latte at Lê Phin , took morning walks before work, and finally tried Ole & Steen’s famous Cinnamon Social. I stopped by the Union Square Green Market, browsed Japanese stationery at Niconeco Zakkaya, and excited for the spring scenery in the city.

I found this Panasonic DMC-FX07 when I went back home last time. I think it was my camera from about 15 years ago, so I wanted to test it out and see how the photos would turn out. Surprisingly, I really like how they came out!

This week, I explored new cafes in New York City, discovered a macaron shop in the East Village with a variety of flavors, and tried Leon's Bagels. I've been also stepping out of work to a beautiful pink sky—a perfect way to end the day.
