🍜This bowl of Vietnamese beef pho really blew me away! 🌟

📍Restaurant Name: Saigon Shack 🗺️ 114 MacDougal St, New York, NY 10012 ✅Recommended for: Friends with big appetites, meat lovers, and those who adore Vietnamese flavors ✔️The bones are stewed until tender and flavorful, with so much meat it almost spills out of the bowl! ✔️The broth is rich and slightly spicy, warming you up from head to toe with just one sip. ✔️The key is the portion size: it's a GIANT serving! $24 is totally worth it! 💰 ✔️It has a slight hint of five-spice beef flavor. My friend ordered the OXTAIL PHO + any other you want (also a large portion, with a clear broth that's really nice too～) Even looking at the pictures after eating makes my mouth water; it's definitely worth a second visit! 🤤 🚶‍♀️After finishing the meal, I took a leisurely stroll around the West Village in Manhattan and discovered that this area really has a Parisian vibe. 🌆 Corner bars, vintage street lamps, brick buildings— even the air feels a bit laid-back. Every few steps, I wanted to stop and take photos to capture another side of this city. 🌃The West Village at dusk is truly beautiful, with the lights just turning on and the sky growing dim, creating an atmosphere that feels like it's between a movie and reality. Walking into this neighborhood is like pressing the "slow motion" button; everyone naturally slows down and softens. 🌅 ☕️Super CHILL java joint/Bar: 📍Bar Pisellino: Cioccolate Caldo + Pastries, perfect for an afternoon of people-watching. A quick stop for an afternoon coffee and negroni. Lovely place with plenty of outdoor tables to sit and enjoy the world going by. 🍵 📌Coming to New York isn't just about ticking off popular tourist spots. Places like the West Village, with their artistic, old-school, and relaxed vibe, truly give you the feeling of "living in New York." 🫶 #BeefPho #NewYork #NewYorkLife 🌟
