New York people! Filipino food in Brooklyn!

Philly Pinoy’s offerings would seem a honey trap for foodies—Filipino dishes unfamiliar to the American palate, like ginisand ampalaya, a sautéed bitter melon, and bopis, a spicy concoction of offal that would not be out of place at some nose-to-tail joint a neighborhood over. But it’s not the foodies that eat at Philly Pinoy, and it’s not the vacationers; it’s the crews from the ships.

Five words: Oxtail stew. Mouth is watering.

Lesson: I wish I was in the kind of shape where I could eat anything I wanted for just one day, with no repercussions.

Goodbye, soda

Today, my 28th birthday, is also my self-imposed deadline to shake my soda addiction. Sure, it’s now a diet soda addiction, but it at one point in undergrad it was two liters of regular Coca-Cola per day. Not good times.

I’m happy with this decision. In celebration of ingesting healthier liquids, here’s a short retrospective of my soda-drinking history, oldest photo to newest.
