COACHELLA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

This year was my first time at Coachella Music Festival in Indio/Palm Springs, CA. I’ve experienced other music festivals such as Lollapalooza in Chicago and Made In America in Philly, but I felt like I had to experience what all the hype was about Coachella. Basically everyone in LA goes to Coachella, and all my closest girlfriends were going this year, and the lineup was good so I decided this was my year. I had an unforgettable experience. Would I do it again? Not sure, but I’m glad I did it.  It was exhausting but I made some amazing memories with great friends.

Lobster grilled cheese, Philly cheese steak, pizza, pulled pork sandwiches, empanadas, tacos, dumplings, curry, fried anchovies………..it didn’t stop! My sister and I attended the Vendy Awards in Brooklyn a couple weeks ago-also known as “the Oscars of street food”. The Vendy Awards is a food truck competition that identifies and celebrates NYC’s best street food vendors, fundraising to support the nonprofit organization, Street Vendor Project of the Urban Justice Center. I had a press pass and got to try all the best voted food trucks in New York City. Let’s just say I couldn’t move afterwards. I wish I had a bigger stomach to try everything but I only could fit so much in there lol. A little overwhelming for someone like me who wanted to try everything, but there was just too much.

Please note: I labeled each food truck with the …
