Concrete Jungle
Where Indian food babies are made ofโฆโฆ.โ
Hi friends!! Hope youโve had a lovely day <3
I spent most of mine exploring NYC with Gabriela and Jaclyn
First we met up for an Indian food lunch on Lexington and 28th, aka โCurry Hillโ aka the place I will live when I move to NYC (in my dreams).
Diana recommended this place to us last night and it was, dare I say, the best Indian food Iโve ever had.
We split the channa masala:
Veg jalfreezi
Roti
and the dosa pictured at the top of this post. It was my first dosa experience and now Iโm a fan Dosa is like a thin lentil crepe, stuffed with veggies:
It was so delicious. Everything was flavorful and SPICY- just the way I love it There was also a lot of ghee used in the dishesโฆ and I wouldnโt kick ghee outta bed if you know what I mean
Even though I was a little weighed down with my Indian food baby, I couldnโt help but jump for joy- I was so happy!
Gabriela and Jaclyn agreed
We ventured down to Union Square to check out the farmerโs market
(Hello little goat. I love your cheese)
to lululemon (we each got jackets)
and to One Lucky Duck (the takeaway spot next to Pure Food and Wine, where we dined last night)
The goods:
Raw almond butter cup ice cream (my all-time fave)
We shared the ice cream, the fruit punch juice (which had pineapple, apple, pear and beet) and a couple of the cinnamon crispies.
After chilling with the girls, I met up with a friend who works at Conde Nast (home of SELF, Glamour, Vogue, Teen Vogue, etc). It was funny because as I walked past the building yesterday, I thought about how amazing it would be to work there. Today, I was inside the building. I may have tinkled a little with excitement.
For fear of totally nerding out, I didnโt take any pics there, but it was so fun to chat with my friend and to just be there! Amazing.
Now Iโm at the airport, doing the blog thang and eating some balsamic veggies and quinoa salad from the airport deli.
Back to Orlando!!
See ya in the morning with the video from the Gatorade event this morning

I am so jealous but also curious as to how you get to do so many cool things…please share your insights!
Indian food in NYC is the best! Next time go to the East Village ๐
Hiiiiiii Gina.
So I am sitting here reading some of your older posts while I wait for you update today’s post (wow- I’m not obsessed with your blog or anything) and I HAD to comment on this post. I loved it.
I’m South Indian, I grew up on dosas, and there’s only ONE place I approve of- Saravana Bhavan where you were!! You got good taste, girl. And I live in Union Square so imagine my excitement to see your photo of my farmer’s market. I’m only sad that I missed you while you were here!
Question- how is that you had that roti/naan? It’s not gluten free and and not really South Beach friendly and I know that you lean SB style most of the time. Just a treat maybe?
SO happy you had fun here! ๐ Come back soon!
i hope to- nyc is one of my favorite places ever
roti is my special treat occasionally… when i’m at an amazing place, i have to have it ๐
