You guys are looking swanky! Where are you headed to? Chinatown, we're going to Nam Son for some traditional Vietnamese pho.

What have you guys been doing in New York? Eating and shopping--is there anything else to do? I did get my hair cut at the The Beehive, and Prune and Momofuku were some of our favorite dining spots.

Where have you been shopping? Ashley loved H&M and Soho for shopping but I usually shop at thrift stores and couldn't find anything to compare to the bargains down south. I did get this shirt from Atlantis Attic in Brooklyn.

What's the latest trend for pastries and hair? Savory desserts are all the rage and the free form, razor, windblown look with a subtle splash of color is really hot right now.

Eat 'n' Shop: Bahn Mi

Bahnmi_2 Although there are plenty of places to eat right after you've seen a movie, there aren't many where you can eat while you shop for movies. Bahn mi sandwiches are pretty much the perfect on-the-go food, a wrapped crusty baguette stuffed with pate, pork and carrots and drenched with hot sauce. They're found at many Vietnamese spots around the city, but at Sau Voi in Chinatown, you can browse martial arts flicks and Asian pop CDs while you scarf yours down. Of course, after a long day of Nolita shopping, you may want to opt for the newer, slicker Paris Sandwich, which offers seating with its bahn mis.
