55 Mott Street

Since the South Street Seaport is very close to Chinatown, I thought I'd grab a nice bowl of Vietnamese Pho soup at a favorite restaurant on Mulberry Street before heading back home.

 Satisfied with a hearty meal, it was just fitting to walk around the neighborhood until I found this nice spot to sketch.  That young lady sat there long enough as I was starting to draw the fence lines.  Once I had my fill, it was time for a Passion Fruit Slush drink with tapioca bubble pearls and a Sesame Ball with Red Bean Paste inside.  Yum!

And that was how I spent my day in the city yesterday.

    Great job! Chinatown is so hard to sketch because of the crowds. You have to find a spot to tuck yourself out of the activity. I have to get back there to sketch and eat.

      Thanks Joan! You're right about the crowds. I was lucky to find that one spot. A couple of guys smoke cigarettes near me that almost made me want to move but I decided to stay until I completed this scene.
