Outfit:
No Boundaries bandana print top (Shalom Shuk, Burlington), $1.00, shorts (Forever 21, White Plains NY), $6.00, jewelry (gifted), Merona espadrilles (Target, White Plains NY), $24.99
I got this top back in the day when shirts at The Shalom Shuk were one dollar. Can’t beat that! It is one of my favorite, go-to lightweight tops on a summer’s day. Perfect creemee date/strolling on Church St/boppin around get-up!
You may find something similar nowadays at Urban Outfitters, but this is a true vintage original.
Occasion: Gaku Ramen
A friend and I tried out a new restaurant in town called Gaku Ramen in it’s first week! While we didn’t get ramen, the salmon rice bowl hit the spot. Generous portion, perfectly cooked salmon, and very flavorful! It’s presentation was impressive too!
The restaurant has a stylish, cosmopolitan ambiance. It was packed and there was a pretty long wait for a table. It may have already gotten more visitors than the location’s previous occupant, Mr. Crepe (hard to compete with Skinny Pancake).
I have to go back to try the ramen! I have a feeling it will be an upgrade from Maruchan instant ramen lunch, although that stuff will always be dear to my heart!
Yet another great option to add to the list of Burlington eats :).
