Japan Block Fair and Hookah Bar

Hey loves! I hope that you're doing well and enjoying the holiday. I had to work earlier even though no one everyone else was off >_< Luckily, my homie and co-worker Mehgan had to come in, too. So, I wasn't too afraid to be in that huge building by myself that may or may not be haunted *clutches pearls*

I wanted to take the time to talk about an event I attended last month. Oh and before I start let me say that Comic Con was awesome this year. I definitely want to go for four days next year with Boba. I have some nice photos that I'll be sharing soon. On to the event!

I heard about the Japan Block Fair through twitter, so I asked my boo Clarissa if she wanted to go with me. We meet up around by the West 4th subway stop and walked to the fair together which was on 6th Ave between Washington Place and Wavery Place. It started out as a normal street fair with the usual vendors. I love running into street fairs because the vendors have the best food. When the street fair's location we were a little disappointed. It was super tiny, there were only a few vendors set up.

 Those materials were beautiful^^

 These yukata's were so lovely

Despite the small size of the fair they had some nice food stalls. They had takoyaki too! Clarissa and I both wanted marble soda (aka Ramune) so we left and went to St. Marks and hit up Sunrise Mart. While we were out my wifey, Laura invited Boba and I to dinner at Bill's Bar and Burger; their food and milkshakes are the bomb. I was super excited because I hadn't seen her and her gf, Rae, in a little bit.

So, Clarissa and hung out for another hour or two, and afterwards I picked up Boba from work and we headed to the restaurant. To my surprise Laura and I's good friend Naomi was there, the five of us always have a blast. Unfortunately, Naomi's gf couldn't make it. I think if the six of us went on a triple date the world would explode lol Afterwards, we ventured to a hookah bar and we had strawberry hookah. Fun fact: Boba loves hookah a lot and owns one; he also used to work at a hookah shop when he was younger.

It was a really awesome night and even though the Japan Block Fair left me a little disappointed, I still appreciate that I can attend events like that in NYC often. It was nice to get out and enjoy the nice weather with a friend. Thanks for reading!
