It seems that so many of our goals whilst we were back in New York were food related. We’ve certainly eaten our fair share of just about everything; here’s some of the highlights:
- Chipotle. C’mon, this was a given. We haven’t had this nearly as many times as I would have liked, however that’s partly due to them not opening today (Easter Sunday). A little warning would have been nice!
- Brunch at The Corner Shop Cafe with Karl and Sibylle. We ate here a few times when we lived here – the first being with Stacey and her Mom Jean, when we stumbled upon it whilst shopping in NoHo and looking for a place to grab a bite. The great thing about their food is that generally everything is well balanced, and you leave feeling satisfied, and never overflowing.
- Steak at Wollensky’s Grill with Fabia and Adam. Wollensky’s motto is, “if steak was a religion, this would be it’s cathedral” – and I don’t think that’s too far from the truth. I thoroughly enjoyed my absolutely giant Colorado Ribeye!
- Jamba Juice. This is basically an American equivilant of Boost Juice – a chain of bars which specialise in fruit smoothies. Sure, it doesn’t sound so high end, but places like this are sadly lacking in London!
- Churrascaria at Porcao, again with Fabia and Adam. This is a Brazillian style BBQ restaurant, where you have a little disc that you can turn to reflect your current eating status. On one side it basically says, “keep feeding me meat”; on the other – “sorry I’m defeated”. Then, a whole bunch of dudes walk around with freshly barbequed cuts of meats, which they cut straight from the skewer onto your place. Absolutely divine, but deathly filling!
After all the delicious food that we’ve consumed here, I think we’ll be able to safely avoid eating for at least a week!
I hope you settle in ok, and get used to the bugs again.
Happy driving!
Nath – good luck dude, can’t wait to see some photos of your new...
