Chinatown, Soho, 5th Ave, Little Italy and Lombardi's...

Hi Everyone,
We've had a great day!
Today was shopping day so we headed to Chinatown to begin with. We had a look around the stalls got offered endless 'louis bags' and 'chanel purse', we however managed to resist this! lol! We got what we wanted in Chinatown and then decided to have lunch.
We headed to the Excellent Dumpling House which was most excellent! I finally managed to eat dumplings again!!! They were soooooooo good! We remembered to tip (long story!) as well! We had fried pork dumplings, scallion pancakes and steamed dumplings! They were sooooooo good! I'm glad I managed to break the dumpling barrier!!! lol!
After that we headed to Soho and had a look around loads and loads of shops! We had a look in American Apparel, Lucky Brand Demin, Calvin Klein, Station A, Dean and Deluca, Old Navy and Bloomingdales among many many more!!! I got my makeup done in Bloomingdales at the Benefit counter! Was soooooo good! I didn't have scary eyebrows like last time! lol!
After that we headed over to 5th Avenue cause we wanted to go to Abercrombie and Gap. I had a look at the newish underground Apple store (loved it!). Abercrombie was fun, weird that they have a semi naked man to meet you on the way in! The store was really hot and dark, so not the best shopping environment! Hmmmmmm!!! After Abercrombie and Gap (and H&M) we headed to have a cup of coffee and then we headed back over to Little Italy (via Brooklyn - subway mishap! lol).
We wandered down to Lombardi's and had to wait about 20mins to get a table... BUT IT WAS WELLLLLL WORTH IT!!! Lombardi's was AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! As per usual! We had half and half, Rob had Meatballs and spinach and I had Meatballs and red onion! It was just as good as always, really really was amazing!!! They've got an underground bit there... they may have had it before but I never noticed it! lol!
After the amazing meal we headed back to the hostel! All in all a fantastic day! Tomorrow is Guggenheim, Ellis and Liberty Island and Katz's!!! Very excited!
I hope everyone is fantastic!!!
Lots of Love,
Sarah xxx
