Eskimo to the World

I am Trina Landlord and this is my blog. In a past life, Eskimo to the World documented my adventures in New York – where in minute everything can change. Much like my life changed when I moved from Alaska to the 'city that never sleeps'. From the biggest state in America to the most populous city in the United States. From the immaculate nature of the Chugach Mountains, Yukon River and Bering Sea to the urban tundra of sky scrapers, enclaves of business and cultural capitals and the nation's foremost trendsetters. From 'the great land' to arguably the 'greatest city on earth'. I made a 5,000 mile prodigious leap from Anchorage to New York City – AND BACK TO ALASKA. The determination of Yup’ik peoples to survive in harsh Arctic conditions had given me the foundation to survive on streets of New York, I will continue to chronicle the parallels of both worlds.

Little Sister Bear Cub Breakfast

  • Scene: One Saturday morning my little sister cub (yes, we've given ourselves BEAR names) called and wanted to go to breakfast.
  • Me: Where do you want to go?
  • Little Sister Cub: I don't know.
  • (Me thinking...shouldn't you have an idea of where you want to go since you're initiating the invite?)
  • Me: What about Middleway Cafe?
  • Little Sister Cub: No, that's too organic-y.
  • Me: How is it "too organic-y?"
  • Little Sister Cub: There are a lot of hippies there.
  • (Me thinking...she's making a generalized statement. Then I remembered she speaks her mind without a filter.)
  • Me: What about Granny Bee's? It's HOME COOKIN.
  • Granny Bee's menu features four different kinds of breakfast meat, eggs, pancakes and everything comes with hash browns. It's like a mini-Gwennie's except they only accept cash.
