I’m about to embark on and epic adventure. Next week my husband and I are packing up the dog, the rice cooker, and the wok and heading to the east coast. After driving up and down the coast to see lots of family, we’ll be settling down in a cute little apartment near the East Village for the next three months.

We’re taking this mini-sabbatical from the midwest so my husband can concentrate on building his new company and because we figured, why the heck not? I’ll be taking a break from freelance while we’re out there to focus on something super awesome that I hope to be able to share soon.

I’m excited for so many things, but first and foremost is that we will be living above a delicious ramen shop. This thrills me to no end because there is no good ramen in this town, I have a feeling we will be eating there more than we should. Of course I’m also excited about the museums, other food, seeing friends and family that live there, but most of all right at this moment, I’m excited for the ramen.

In addition to being psyched for New York, I’m looking forward to the road trip out there. I haven’t done a road trip since I drove to California on Route 66. This won’t be quite as epic as that, but I’m sure it will be awesome.

If you feel like saying bye bye to us, we’ll be hanging out at Psycho Suzi’s on Thursday (Dec 15 – starting around 5:30pm) eating tots and talking about all of the Ramen we’ll be consuming in New York. Stop on by if you can.
