Two main to-do's:

im still pretty hung up on new york. [so im going to draw a couple more comics on it before going to the usual topics.] but yeah, i swear this is all we did. shop + eat. i didnt get to check out all the spots i wanted; stores, vintage shops, restaurants, bakeries, & foodstands alike--this city is way too big to conquer em all. which means i'll be back!

faves that i did manage to check out:
+shops: muji, uniqlo, topshop, vice versa, search & destroy, toy tokyo.
+foooood: gnoccos, la esquina, egg, mandoo bar, shake shack, pomme frites, cafe habana, soho park cafe.
