Observations on Arts Night 2014
I have been trying to get myself to Macaulay’s Arts Night for the last two years. Inevitably, something comes up every year: an exam, a paper, etc. This year, I vowed that I would submit a piece and attend the event. On April 26th, I put on a polka dot dress and tights (I always […]
2048, You Win!

Spicy Snail Salad and Stuffed Squid at Pocha 32
We arrived at Koreatown’s Pocha 32 before 5:30 p.m. on a Friday night. Yelp had given me a vague idea of Pocha’s popularity, and I suggested to my friend that we arrive early.

Food That Pops: Num Pang Sandwich Shop
I was hesitant to go to Num Pang Sandwich Shop for a very long time. Although everything looked appetizing and the Yelp reviews checked out, I was scared.
