Notes from the Weekend: LIC Baby Shower

08/01/16

IMG_7183

A rainy weekend called for laying low. Friday night was date night at one of our favorite restaurants for fresh seafood, Seamore’s. It’s always hard to get a table there but Summertime is usually less busy at most restaurants so we had no trouble on a Friday night. Saturday I hit the beach for a few hours before the rain started and Sunday we had a couples Baby Shower in Long Island City (LIC), Queens. 

This was my first time to LIC, an area that was once more industrial has become a booming community with lots of residences, markets, restaurants and shops.

We took the East River Ferry over which had us in LIC in just under five minutes and spent the afternoon showering my friend Adriana at her Pinterest-worthy baby shower given by her sister.

Adriana and I have been friends since our freshman year of high school and I’m so excited that she and her husband are having a baby girl. She will for sure be as chic and stylish as her mama!

Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago and there wasn't so much as a matcha cafe in sight. Now, so much matcha, so little time. Swipe through for my thoughts in each caption. πŸ’šπŸ’‹πŸ΅

The cafe itself had the cutest decor. The matcha had no flavor and all I could taste was the almond milk. 

Refreshing and not too sweet. The blueberry lemonade was the overarching flavor followed by the more bitter matcha. Perfect balance. 

Just a strawberry matcha. Nothing special and not the best I've had. 

This was an authentic Japanese spot with a premium matcha experience. They hand whisk it in front of you  and explain how they make it. I picked up a few tips. The matcha was authentic and rich. Only oat and whole milk options. 

Hand whisking and explaining the process in detail. 

Not a huge fan on oat milk in matcha because I think it overpowers the flavor. Overall, this was the most authentic like you'd get in Japan. 

Tbh, this was a basic coffee shop matcha but I loved the coffee shop itself. I made the mistake of agreeing that the syrup which was a sweetener. I don't like sweetened matcha so that knocked a star off. 

The most underwhelming of all. Drinkable but basic. Not bad, but I had too many other really good ones to measure against. 

This place has it all. The vibe, tbe energy, the neighborhood, the creative drinks, the community and a nice staff. 

This was the most delicious matcha I would give this place 1000 stars if I could. 

The place was bustling but they kept it moving and the staff was friendly despite the crowds and heavy drink orders. 

An authentic matcha experience with a modern edge. Seriously the best matcha and experience I've had at a matcha cafe.
