I met up with fellow bloggers at Cooper 35. Located in the East Village, this establishment has funky decor with a slightly Asian flair. Despite the summery weather, the garden was unfortunately closed, but it definitely looked like a fun hang out.

I was happily surprised to open the menu and find the prices incredibly low. A whole list of yummy-sounding cocktails for four dollars each! I ordered a Sangria and a $3 bowl of Soba noodles in soy broth. After munching on delicious hummus and chips, the server brought out a huge bowl of noodles, definitely a good deal for 3 bucks.
