FM ADVENTURE: THE HESTER STREET FAIR WITH SUCHIN PAK
Every time we’re in New York we never have time to explore the culture around the Big Apple. Last trip while up there for Bamboozle we had a few hours off to visit our friend Suchin Pak from MTV and she took us to a new neighborhood fair on Hester and Essex on the Lower East Side that she put together and will be running through the end of December 2010. Suchin is one of the coolest girls we’ve been blessed enough to meet, even reppin the old school Far East Movement logo tee shirt on MTV TRL during an MTV News break a few years ago. I remember getting calls like “yooo i see your logo on TRL!”
The Hester Street Fair…

The incredible host took me straight to the vendors…

Here were some of the interesting tents that day:
Organic Homemade Cornnuts…

This dog was like their mascot…he seemed to love the cornnuts and all the passers by were encouraged to feed him…I couldn’t resist either.

These pretzels threw me for a loop…

I’ve been struggling the past few weeks trying to think of the perfect Mother’s Day Gift…so Suchin brought me to a vendor who was selling dope homemade jewelry:

They color the pieces with organic dyes and stuff:

Suchin bought one for herself along the way…haha

But the headliner for the day though was definitely the lobster rolls:

Straight from Maine (hence the “from ME to you” tagline), Luke’s Lobster Rolls are famous all along the East Coast so we had to give it the Eating FM taste test:


EATING FM Rating system:
***3 Fingers up – MUST EAT.. crave for it.. amazing food. If you dont try it your missing out on life…
**2 Fingers up – Great Taste, if you get a chance… try it… i recommend it.
* 1 Finger up – Kinda wish i didnt eat there or order what i ordered … but i ate it and now im full.
- Middle Finger up – i threw it away while eating it… if i had a brick i’d throw it through the window.. and if i had lighter fluid and a lighter.. i’d burn that mutha down…

What WE Thought:
Restaurant/ Dish: Lobster Roll
Location: Luke’s @ the Hester Street Fair New York
Price Range: apparently, $14 for a roll is a steal in New York… dam inflation! hahah
Service: Friendly. Maybe it was because I came with the boss? haha
What we recommend: obviously the Lobster Roll, with an ice cold Coke to wash it down.
Rating: – ***3 Fingers Up – I’d almost call it the east coast King Taco…ALMOST.
right when we were leaving i ran into some old friends Linette, Kelly, and Ev from Arowana Films (not pictured because he took this one)

whole lot of walking, had to undo the tie…
What a great time eating food, buying gifts, and just chatting with people. The Hester Street Fair is a MUST VISIT if you’re in New York.
