Noodle abundance

Back to Cantoon Garden on Elizabeth for another helping of the Braised E-Fu Noodle with Black Mushroom with a side of the baby bok choy.  Is it possible that the dishes were even larger than the last time?  This is what the platter looked like after  we had both eaten our fill:

On the way back to the Canal Street Station, we stumbled across one of the new(ish) R2-D2-wrapped mailboxes that the United States Postal Service rolled out in March to help commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope) — the second highest domestic grossing film of all time.  (#1 is either Titanic or Gone with the Wind, depending on whether the adjustment is made for inflation.)

The whimsical tribute to the 2003 Robot Hall of Fame inductee is appearing in 200 cities nationwide to promote the USPS’s new Star Wars -themed products: a set of fifteen first class stamps and three Express Mail envelopes — none featuring the much-maligned Jar Jar Binks.
