Bucks & Does // Sunset + Hyperion

 

+ This husband and wife owned and operated new addition to the Sunset Junction, is perfect for the California born and bred or those who can't help but dabble in ikat, American flags and macrame.  The couple has had a presence in the apparel world for quite some time as the owners and designers of the Anthropologie carried clothing line, Porridge.
+ Bucks & Does is a very well curated boutique, I dare you to leave without finding something you need; well worth a stop while rambling east down Sunset.

I SCREAM // THURSDAY New York, NY // East Village MOMOFUKU MILK BAR

Momofuku Milk Bar // 13th St + 2nd Ave

+ First, let me just say, you do not need me to tell you to go to Momofuku Milk Bar- since opening it's doors in 2006, it has grown quite the reputation for itself with locations popping up throughout New York city and now Canada.  However- I will still tell you to, please, go to Milk Bar!!
+ Milk Bar falls into the fleet of wildly as successful, as they are delicious restaurants headed up by Chef David Chang (though Milk Bar is run by chef and owner in Christina Tosi).  Milk Bar's short history is- it was opened in the laundry mat next to the instant hit and immediate neighborhood staple, Momofuku Ssäm Bar, and quickly made a name for itself, for extremely good reason.  While the Momofuku brand has many many things worth giving a try- start with Milk Bar.

+ Hours:
      Sunday-Saturday 9a-12a
+ $4.50 for demi Cereal Milk soft serve
+ Though the menu is incredibly fun to explore- starts with soft serve and ends with pork buns, Milk Bar fans have the treats they swear by and go out of their way for.
+ Some of the greatest hits include // Compost Cookie, a brown sugar cookie filled with pretzel, graham cracker crust, chocolate chips, potato chips and butterscotch- to start // Cereal Milk and soft serve, exactly as it sounds, soft serve made from cereal milk... almost nothing better // Crack Pie- an oaty crust with a sweet and gooey filling, it tastes very much like a pecan pie sans pecans
+ I'm straight up torn between Cereal Milk soft serve with crunch topping (pictured above) and the Birthday Cake Truffles, "every day is someone's birthday" the perfect excuse to celebrate (or justify)
+ While there are a couple locations- I suggest for total effect, head to the original

+ Off the L train at 3rd Ave  // Off the 4, 5 & 6 at Union Square
