After a mammogram that was all CLEAR!! At the MSK cancer center I was off to look for a special treat in the area. This place is a (not so hidden) gem. Check out the amazing take out sushi (and fish market) at ROY's seafood market in the upper east side Manhattan. The guy's there since the 1990s so it's a true neighborhood staple. #smallbusiness #ues #nycfood #mammogram #cancerawareness #sushi #takeoutfood #shorts

Mashav is fantastic! We took a 6-person food tour around Richmond, and had a blast. It's a great group activity, and Mashav took us to TEN SPOTS where we had samples of delicious food. Mashav is very knowledgeable in everything that has to do with the food scene in Richmond, and her taste is impeccable. Mashav, thank you for a great morning in San Francisco!
