After a wander through the streets, Chinatown etc we hopped on the free bus and did the whole loop passin .. more ..

Posted 90 days ago at Lay Your Head HereBefore the writer gets to the kitchen, it was time to shop. I had signed up for Chef Abigail Hitchcock‘s always sold-out Saturday Chinatown Shop and Cook.
