Smorgasburg Brooklyn, And The Famous Ramen Burger
Jackie Montalvo

The famous Smorgasburg, Brooklyn Flea Food Market, aka the best (but rather expensive) place to get yummy and unique food in Brooklyn every Saturday and Sunday. This past Sunday I made my way to the Prospect Park location and tried the famous Ramen Burger.

If you haven't heard of the original Ramen Burgers, they are the brain child of Keizo Shimamot who encountered pork sandwiches with ramen buns while studying in Japan, and brought it back to his L.A. roots by throwing a burger patty into the mix.

Everyone talks about the Ramen Burger and if you peruse #RamenBurger on Instagram, you will be faced with hoards of people who too, have been drawn to this unique meal.

I was excited but skeptical to try this crazy contraption, I love ramen and I love burgers, but together they were just okay. The burger is $10 with two ramen rounds for buns, arugula, the meat patty, their special sauce and cheese. I wished instantly that I had not gotten the arugula on it because I knew that I didn't like it.

While I was eating it, I thought it was really good! The meat patty was cooked about medium-well to well done, but as the day wore on I think the ramen bun really started to upset my stomach. I'm not sure if it's because it has been so hot here, just like most of the United States right now, or because the bun just really didn't sit well with me but it's probably not something that I will try again.

Although I did not completely love this, my friend Sam who was with me did! I really think this is either your thing or it is not, but definitely something worth trying once if not for the novelty, for the fact that you can eat both ramen and a burger at the same time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
