If I told you I’m busy eating pizza, salads from Cosi and Starbucks coffee so that I can get my fill before I go 5 weeks without those NY staples…I’d be lying. I’m already eating Vietnamese food and I haven’t even left town yet. This latest feast on Friday night was at one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Chinatown, Pho Viet Huong, as part of a weekly meeting by the New York Vietnamese Language and Culture Meetup.

This is a great group of people who share either a common heritage or a strong interest and even love of Vietnam and Vietnamese culture. Some of the members were born in Vietnam whereas others are US-born Vietnamese or non-Vietnamese who have spent a good deal of time traveling, studying or working in Vietnam. You’ll definitely see more posts about this group especially once we’re back in NY. The members are always coming and going to/from Vietnam or dreaming of a long overdue return to their country of birth. One thing is for sure, whenever and wherever we meet, there’s usually a lot of food involved!
