Last time I went for a haircut my stylist asked what Lex was up to these days, and I told her that she had circled back to her original love of jewelry-making, had opened an etsy site, and was considering doing some craft markets. She said "Oh my gosh, you have to tell her about BossBabesATX and their twice-a-year craft markets." So I shot her a text while I was under the dryer, and she came back with "Already have tickets to their April meeting, and was planning on attending their spring market as well. Wanna go with?" Heck ya!
Unfortunately, when we got there, they were already at capacity, the line snaked down the street and around the corner, and no one seemed to be leaving the building. So we decided to take off and do some splorin', then come back later to see if the situation had improved.
We were looking for something cool to sip or slurp, but instead, we discovered this little gem -- Ah Sing Den! One peek through the window, and we just had to go in.
Apparently this place was named after a famous opium den in Victorian London, where Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle found inspiration, but it reminded me of some of the wonderful little places we used to discover in Singapore, when we drifted away from the normal tourist paths and just let ourselves get lost.
According to their website, they specialize in "Tipples and Morsels", and before we knew it, we were sipping little cups of Harney & Son's amazing Soho Blend tea, and nibbling sweet potato Japanese beignets with red bean coconut cream. Oh my!
After seeing these photos, our guys can't wait to go back and sample the "tipples" on the menu, or try the Sunday brunch.
