On street-cart shaved ice: “Is it unhealthy? It looks greasy [American translation: ‘dirty’] All right. I’ll getone.”
On other summer treats she loves: “I like frozen berries with white-chocolate sauce on top. My mom makes it. It’s the best. Oooh, and frozen orangejuice.”
On restaurants she loves: “I love going to theSpotted Pig. The gnudi. Mmmm. Oh, my God. So good. I like the salad and sushi atBlue Ribbon. I ate there four times in six days. I loveTea and Sympathy, the Sundayroasts.”
On cooking: “I do cook. We get our food from FreshDirect. I’m pretty good at roast dinners and spaghettiBolognese.”
