A Quick Visit To Pho Hoai Bay Ridge

pho hoai vietnamese restaurant

When your day kind of looks like this outside there is really only one sure fire cure to get you back into proper order and in my opinion that thing is a big bowl of Vietnamese chicken noodle soup. Now, don’t get me wrong here because while there is nothing like good ole Mom’s brand of the stuff, it’s not always something that is immediately at hand. That being said, today I headed over to Pho Hoai to pick up some lunch as I love the place but since I was on my own I brought my treats home and wanted to share the visuals with you to inspire interest.

A Snow Covered Urbania

To my knowledge this is one of the only full on Vietnamese restaurants in Bay Ridge.  We do have quite a few sushi places and Chinese take outs, along with a couple of Thai but so far this is the only Vietnamese place I have been made aware of.  At the restaurant I ordered a simple chicken noodle with vegetables soup.  I am not sure of its exact phrasing on the menu, but they always seem to get it correct when I say it like that.  When you take this home with you, you get to put it all together and that is what led me to blogging it up for our “Dining Adventures” category.  You don’t mind that we were not in the restaurant for this I hope, but if so, too bad.  Next time.

The Leif Ericson Park Viking Adventure

While the plan is to feature some of the pleasant shots we have managed to obtain when wandering the area parks in this blog, there is one set of images that is already online and features all that you need to enjoy about this particular one.  I will link to that in a moment but first some back story to help you understand.  I was out walking with my friend Eric The Beehivehairdresser and we happened upon a couple of interesting sights that were captured on digital media.  After the adventures had completed I realized how a number of the shots I had taken all worked within the framework of a musical genre that I find very important to me as a writer.  Resultant of this I composed the “PiercingMetal Viking Quest” which you can enjoy by clicking HERE.

Have fun, I know I sure did.
