Today, we are flying flags in 10 empty seats in MetLife Stadium to honor the Americans currently being held hostage.
These hostages were just 10 of the 200 kidnapped during the terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7.

It was legitimately so good, I went back for stop #5 @moonbowls
This time I had their impossible beef potstickers and Seoul Food (cauliflower wings) bowl. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t need a nap after, but goddam this was so good.

I was going to take a 10-min lunch today but changed my mind just to savor my @moonbowls Avocado Bulgogi. Truly satisfying 😍

I'm not vegan(b/c that shit sucks) but I have been cutting back on meat. I suggest ordering some cauliflower wings from Moonbowls.
