Beautiful little vessels of infinity! They’re one of those diaphanous objects in which you can find an endless number of micro-reflections and light refractions. I love watching how glass shimmers from sun rays reflecting against its rim and how it creates these translucent shadows on the surfaces around it. It’s like a way to own a piece of the rainbow! (plus they make awesome looking table settings)

it’s timeless and beautiful. whenever i see a stained glass window i’m filled with joy. my aunt and uncle used to own a stained glass business and their house was full of things they’d made that would shine different colours everywhere when the sunlight hit 🌞

Knowing another language is awesome. It gives you a slice of omnipotence. Once you become fluent in a language, there’s no translation time in your mind- you don’t have to hear the word and go “oh this means this”. The word just is- you hear it and it instantly registers. It’s kind of like being able to be in two places at once in your head.

It’s at 100 Bowery, more on the fringes of Chinatown and not on one of the major tourist streets. Genuine Cantonese “hole-in-the-wall” kind of place. You will not find a single non-Chinese person in there at any given time (except the handful of friends I’ve turned onto it). Sweet hardworking staff, super affordable, probably in danger of going out of business like a lot of the other old school Cantonese places in Chinatown. If you go, order Mushroom E Fu Noodles (Yi Mien) and Snow Pea Shoots with garlic.
