Go East, Young Man

We spent Sunday afternoon touring the Lower East Side with some friends. The point of the excursion: To sample food from a variety of restaurants. And that's what we did. We started with octopus balls, finished with donuts and at a variety of culinary concoctions in the middle. Mason's least favorite dish was the hummus -- as he demonstrated by spewing it out of his mouth with rocket force, then coughing, hacking and wiping all remnants off his tongue with his forearm. His favorite, probably the cinnamon gelato, or maybe the donuts. You'll have to ask him.

Nevertheless, it was a six-hour trek and he was a superstar. He pooped out after the hummus -- lest he have to try something else so exotic, I suppose. We decided to reward him with a trip to the Hester Street Playground, in the heart of Chinatown, before heading back home...
