Niagara Lavender Festival

The Niagara Lavender Festival took place this past weekend from July 7th to 8th.

We made the trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake on the Sunday, having ordered the World Traveler pass in advance. This included ten tasting-size food and drink items, as well as other goodies.

Post-summer exhaustion has caught up to me and caused some much-needed adjustments. Here’s a picture-heavy post of the past month…

Hibiscus doughnut

We were walking around Smorgasburg at Brooklyn Bridge Park, and came across this doughnut stand. With a variety of yeast doughnuts with amazing toppings, the hibiscus one caught our eye due to its bright magenta-red icing… and it did not disappoint. We just tried one doughnut and it was enough for me to know that this is probably the best doughnut I’ve ever had.

The Wangding and the Mel & Steve

Spent this past weekend in New York (the first official out-of-the-country trip we planned by ourselves!) and took it upon ourselves to visit Smorgasburg at Brooklyn Bridge Park.

First up,  Asiadog. The name describes it all; hot dogs with asian-inspired toppings.

TD Music Cafe: Tegan and Sara

TD Music cafe kicked off its 2014 music season with a free music show (Monday, May 26), featuring Tegan and Sara. Of course we jumped at the chance for a free concert.

The event said it would run for 11am to 3pm, so we got to the area around 9:15am, and there was already a line for about 30+ people. The line doubled while we waited, and around 11:45, they let us inside.
