We met as students on a mostly boba-free Midwestern campus. First as friends, later as partners in everything, we took trips together to New York City, where our love deepened for both Canal Street and a certain modern-art temple, linking their very different inventive energies in our memories.

In the pandemic’s wake, we found comfort in returning to boba, and savoring it with siblings, parents, and our two boys—sometimes in a spirit of pan-Asian embrace, sometimes as classic parental bribery.
