Since we are planning on being out of town for awhile, I thought about all the New York City food items I would miss. This led to a week-long binge of mainly junk food. I always love eating but my stomach wasn't too happy for me.
Here is a "short" list of what I ate and am going to miss:
- Bagels from the bodega and my new fave place Tompkins Bagels (Amazing organic bacon/egg/cheese bagel and Stumptown coffee)
- Pizza from Vinny Vincenz, South Brooklyn, Gruppo * Unfortunately ran out of time for Gnocco, Three of Cups and Motorino
- Pommes Frites (Mexican Ketchup and Frite Sauce, H got War Sauce - Mayo, Peanut Satay and raw onion)
- Burgers from Five Guys and Royale (Good as usual so I am going to ignore the C inspection rating)
- City Crab oysters, lobster bake and steam pot *Also like Mermaid Inn but they were booked up
- The Cottage Chinese Restaurant (Hope I can find Szechuan dumplings in LA)
- Neptune, our neighborhood (East Village) diner, whose cranky but good cook has made more breakfast meals for us than any other restaurant and possibly our moms as H likes to say
Oh cottage Chinese! With the free box wine! i would miss that place too. LA probably doesn't do box wine. Snobs.
