Time: 3pm<br />
People: RB, CK and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-The new outdoor pop-up in Gowanus, Pig Beach is a part of the outside barbecue-bar venue, "Swan Dive," located behind the Green Building.<br />
-The team will be grilling all summer long, weather permitting.<br />
-With the spacious outdoor setting, communal picnic tables and umbrellas, it is a perfect spot for baby carrying Brooklyn parents as well as <a href="http://mashable.com/2015/06/09/post-hipster-yuccie/">yuccies</a> who act similar to the same nearby children whom they complain about often.<br />
-The pork shoulder is flavorful, but RB was left longing for the scrumptious looking turkey breast.<br />
-The Deviled Eggs are creamy, and the pickled cucumbers are refreshing and crispy.<br />
-Perfect summer spot for groups and families... but not for germaphobes. The bathroom here is a Port-A-John.<br />

<br />
List:<br />
-The <a href="http://www.avroko.com/">AvroKO</a> team's new spot, Genuine Superette is a charming spin-off of <a href="http://www.ramenandfriends.com/2013/12/ivan-ramen-slurp-gotham-west-market-12.html">Gotham West Market</a>'s Genuine Roadside in Hell's Kitchen.<br />
-This casual, laid-back spot captures the vibe of California roadside stands. From Don Drapers to the new creative class, California is on everyone's mind. If not California, everyone has at least succulents and cactus plants.<br />
-With counter-service and friendly staff, you can really enjoy their West coast influenced comfort food like Super Duper Stack burgers ($10.56), shrimp tacos ($11.94), and fried green tomato sandwiches ($6.89).<br />
-Celebrity chef collaborations also happen here for juices, coctails, fish-and chips, ice cream sandwiches ($7.81), and the soups and salads.<br />
-Welcoming addition to tourist-packed area of the neighborhood. You can watch millions of sweaty tourists chowing down on Italian desserts as you escape to California.<br />

Time: 2:30pm<br />
People: RB, CK and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-Cheese Grille is a casual eatery with a modern twist on American classic: grilled cheese.<br />
-House-made spicy tomato soup ($5 for large, $1.75 for small) is so thick and compliments the crunchy and gooey sandwiches. It is great for dipping.<br />
-Both savory and sweet grilled cheese (Nutella, banana and Mascarpone with ice cream, anyone?) sandwiches are available.<br />
-I must urge you to get sweet potato tater tots (small $4, large $7). So crunchy and subtly sweet.<br />
-"Sloppy" ($8, Joe Cheddar, Groud Beef, Mascarpone, Pickled Jalapenos on Levain Pullman)--isn't that a perfect marriage of American classics? The mixture of Sloppy Joe and grilled cheese cannot go wrong.<br />
-Open late (3am on weekends) for your perfect late night munchies.<br />

List:<br />
-K'OOK offers casual Korean dining experience with modern twists. It is fun looking through the menu full of creative dishes.<br />
-"Snowky" ($8, Fried rice cake, onion, mushroom, pepper, broccoli, mozzarella cheese, red hot pepper, spinach with K'OOK white sauce) is highly recommended! It is essentially cheesy macaroni au gratin with rice cakes. Genius!<br />
-"Crispy Rice Egg" ($3, boiled egg wrapped in seasoned ground pork, rice, kimchi, coated in bread crumbs then deep fried) is their version of Scotchegg. Truly delicious and decadent.<br />
-Service is attentive, K'OOK is a great addition to the neighborhood.<br />

List:<br />
-Kottu House, conveniently located few blocks down from the best hair salon, Fringe, specializes in the Sri Lankan street food .<br />
-With their delicious <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kottu">kottu</a> made with godamba roti, a blend of curry, eggs and the seven options of veggies, fish or meat -- their food takes you straight to a food coma. ($12-$15)<br />
-South Asian fries ($5) are covered with the generous amount of paprika and Sri Lankan chili powder and further deepen this coma.<br />
-I will definitely get more of their flavorful, moist kottu every time I am back in the salon.<br />

-What do you do on another cold wintery day in NYC? Share a massive bowl of cold, creamy shaved <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_cream">snow cream</a> at Snowdays in East Village! Beat the winter food cliches.<br />
-This Taiwanese style melt-in-your-mouth dessert is still not ubiquitous in the city.<br />
-The menu is more Americanized, but there are plenty of red beans, mochi and matcha toppings available. Whatever you do, do NOT forget to add Pocky.<br />
-If you are Libras or Pisces or other indecisive signs, opt for their creation combos such as "Yeti Food." ($6 for small, with bananas, sugar cones and blueberry puree) You cannot go wrong with any of their choices.<br />
-All of their shaved cream is made on premises with GMO free dairy from Hudson Valley.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860187097081290435.post-43715674554949061972015-03-24T09:10:00.000-04:002015-03-24T09:10:41.653-04:00The Brindle Room 02-17-2015<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1H0MzLDFmEnGsiU7RT-VAYrTaCDNDQvlrdamXP8y1CTl51SSUwwfkO6wqEWYcpnGZh2QVNtkBmfu2iLinoaYUpxZTFvzRFzAKCms_PrArHHLAIpFyQhNeCr29V1Y3SVONLtpkeBibKCh_/s1600/IMG_20150207_144448083.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1H0MzLDFmEnGsiU7RT-VAYrTaCDNDQvlrdamXP8y1CTl51SSUwwfkO6wqEWYcpnGZh2QVNtkBmfu2iLinoaYUpxZTFvzRFzAKCms_PrArHHLAIpFyQhNeCr29V1Y3SVONLtpkeBibKCh_/s320/IMG_20150207_144448083.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie_ymNAz4F_MJmT35vKT0WPD364oL4b-976pU67-jdkIvrp21D2PKmICxcMowBLdlKQSv53WG7ty__pXDuuw_kdQJ3E0ftB60HJT69E1eIMz3CDRlNQR-W7_G7Wpp0Te24Kgik10zFE-l2/s1600/IMG_20150207_144509368_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie_ymNAz4F_MJmT35vKT0WPD364oL4b-976pU67-jdkIvrp21D2PKmICxcMowBLdlKQSv53WG7ty__pXDuuw_kdQJ3E0ftB60HJT69E1eIMz3CDRlNQR-W7_G7Wpp0Te24Kgik10zFE-l2/s320/IMG_20150207_144509368_HDR.jpg" /></a>Location: 277 E. 10th St.<br />

<br />
List:<br />
<br />
-At this gastropub, you see an interesting mixture of decadent comfort food and their famous "Sebastian's Steakhouse Burger," ($12, caramelized onions, fries, pickles) considered to be one of the best burgers in the city.<br />
-RB thought the burger was very juicy and flavorful, and the fries were crispy and well salted.<br />
-The portions are large. "Potato chip frittata" ($10) can easily serve up to two people.<br />

Time: 4pm<br />
People: RB, CK and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-Do we need another bakery in LES? YES. We need scrumptious Petee's pies on every block. Just the aroma of sweet butter when you walk in--If I was the mayor of NYC, I'd mandate to leak the smell into the subways.<br />
-Pies here are baked from scratch with local ingredients in both sweet and savory options. The ingredients are real dairy from grass fed cows, real eggs and real produce. Real damn pies.<br />
-Featured sweet flavors are: cherry bomb, cranberry apple, salty chocolate chess, and sour cherry.<br />
-RB opted for a savory option, the chicken pot pie, which is succulent and very filling.<br />
-Nice people at Petee's even offer delicious gluten-free and vegan options. There are also quiche and pastries. (They gave CK heart-shaped pie crust cookies!)<br />
-For beverage options, they have excellent selections of Bellocq tea, Parlor Coffee and cold-pressed juices.<br />

-The owners behind <a href="http://www.ramenandfriends.com/2013/12/somtum-der-12-07-2013.html">Somtum Der</a>'s new spot, Kiin Thai focus on home-style central and Northern Thai cooking.<br />
- Kiin means "eat" in Thai. Indeed, lots of lots of great eating happens at this place.<br />
-With a plenty of small dishes available, this is a perfect place for family style dining with a large group including the NYU students nearby.<br />
-Even ubiquitous Pad Thai ($15) is better here and good for sharing. The condiments like peanuts and chiles are on the side, and the noodles packed with fresh ingredients are wrapped in an egg crepe.<br />
-"Grandma's Grilled Pork and Sticky Rice" ($13) is like a deconstructed sticky coconut rice burger.<br />
-No dish is Americanized here except the tap water and some beer selection. Prepare for some complex flavors.<br />

List:<br />
-At this rare Georgian spot in East Village, you can enjoy various Georgian specialties like soup dumplings, shish kebab and khachapuri, traditional cheese filled breads.<br />
-All poultry and eggs are organic and grass fed here.<br />
-There is a menu section devoted to khachapuri, and it is absolutely a must. Share it with your friends and enjoy the warm gooey cheesy, buttery heaven.<br />
-Chizhi-Pizhi ($9, eggs topped with Sulguni cheese, tomatoes and bread at the bottom, oven baked) is a hearty and perfectly decadent brunch dish.<br />
-Khinkali (hand-rolled soup dumplings, $10 for lamb) are very tender and flavorful, just be careful not to spill any of that yummy greasy juice.<br />
-Each dish is large and great for sharing. Oda House is perfect for group dining on a cold wintry night.<br />

List:<br />
-Japan has its <a href="http://iamafoodblog.com/katsu-sando-tonkatsu-sandwich-recipe/">katsu Sando</a>, the US has chicken cutlet, and now East Village has a Smorgasburg favorite, Schnitz, serving Israeli style schnitzel sandwiches.<br />
-There are other schnitzel spots in NYC that specialize in German and Austrian style, often with thinly pounded pork and veal, but this may be the new beginning for the thicker, Israeli style sandwich trend.<br />
-Schnitz serves these traditional sandwiches with generous amount of modern toppings and pretzel hero from Tom Cat Bakery. If you are low-carbing, order one "naked" without the bread, but it's tough to say no to a soft and chewy pretzel hero.<br />
-"Grumpy Russian" ($9, Pork loin with greens, pickled cherries and gorgonzola spread) was an explosion of flavors, and the pickled cherries offered a very unique and pleasant note to the sandwich.<br />
-Instead of a sandwich, I went with various delicious veggie sides: Schnitz Fries with beet tzaziki ($5, crispy sage, parsley, garlic butter, chili flakes and sea salt), Jicama-Fennel Slaw ($4), Roasted Head of Cauliflower ($5, with cumin seed oil and maldon sea salt), Brussel Sprouts ($4 with caramelized onion dijon and old bay).<br />
-With beer and wine on tap and free wifi (and a spacious WC with lemon wall art is a major plus), what else can you possibly want? Your next meal should be at Schnitz.<br />

List:<br />
-After a strong debut at Smorgaburg in Park Slope, Goa Taco opened the modest pop-up serving paratha tacos in Lower East Side. This place needs to be permanent ASAP.<br />
-The buttery paratha is folded over the modern, LES friendly fillings like slow roasted pork belly ($8), recado rojo lamb shoulder ($9), and organic tofu ($7).<br />
-House made scotch bonnet hot sauce was so flavorful and spicy, RB had to buy a bottle.<br />
-"Brunch" ($8, bacon-substitute with cheese, tomato, egg, basil aioli) was highly addictive and well seasoned. I will think of this taco for a very long time.<br />
-There are just some two seater benches (about 10 seats total) at this narrow space. Consider yourself lucky if you get a seat. Hopefully they'll open a permanent location soon with more seating!<br />

List:<br />
-One of my oldest friends lives in Iceland, and I have a pleasure of seeing her every March. To prepare our annual meeting, we visited Skal ("cheers" in Icelandic, pronounced as scowl, but I know she would correct me) on Canal Street in Chinatown. NYC's obsession with Nordic cuisine seems to continue.<br />
-At this cheerful Icelandic, Nordic-themed spot, there are plenty of house cocktails and new American style menu without too many uniquely Icelandic specialties.<br />
-Truffled Broccoli omelet ($14, with ssam jang potatoes and mixed greens) was excellent. The potatoes were crispy with a kick of spice.<br />
-Berkshire Pork Belly Sandwich ($12, with ssam jang, black garlic and daikon) was flavorful and tender, and the bread was pleasantly crispy.<br />
-Banana Pancakes ($14, vanilla bean and thyme foam, goat butter) were thicker than Icelandic pancakes, ponnukokur, but it was as round and large as I could recall.<br />
-If you are in the area, definitely stop by for a drink!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860187097081290435.post-67559805148786050982015-01-21T13:08:00.001-05:002015-01-21T13:09:08.377-05:00Little Prince 12-31-2014<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzGtHELgVw0QCxKZVjsfNxXnjXiQpAUrWY1PKJpgxLmozaA4uk33zk3es0UwGEUV9t13ziozNfhxpFHySoOrQCQHntE6KhkWhLbwqaf2MaE_U6xRtqnfWKqMXOHP4OgTrTRCK_Yr7ezVXq/s1600/IMG_20141231_145228134.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzGtHELgVw0QCxKZVjsfNxXnjXiQpAUrWY1PKJpgxLmozaA4uk33zk3es0UwGEUV9t13ziozNfhxpFHySoOrQCQHntE6KhkWhLbwqaf2MaE_U6xRtqnfWKqMXOHP4OgTrTRCK_Yr7ezVXq/s320/IMG_20141231_145228134.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXLf-2eZAyGHoUh_wmFJucyNqaUZI7rOn2dtJ2eeocBacv_deShVd_lKNZ-X4LSCZe0kWoKE5O-yP6wYIyvjNH29V288kmjHExSboqKG8iFYuLQ1hBgj11K_L-24GsbTvyVIw_YsdB2D_j/s1600/IMG_20141231_145234822.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXLf-2eZAyGHoUh_wmFJucyNqaUZI7rOn2dtJ2eeocBacv_deShVd_lKNZ-X4LSCZe0kWoKE5O-yP6wYIyvjNH29V288kmjHExSboqKG8iFYuLQ1hBgj11K_L-24GsbTvyVIw_YsdB2D_j/s320/IMG_20141231_145234822.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8KzkE9QJDVs4soTzKByl4vRXQL4wX4L3WXDjOylPnpnr2HPIz9j7zVlat8KTT8ZGpglV53rj-psViytYdVayhhRqcLSdX73zF7tAClDDcOQyPCOcHLEg8UUK_blzqeK4_CveesZtNjiwu/s1600/IMG_20141231_145240504.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8KzkE9QJDVs4soTzKByl4vRXQL4wX4L3WXDjOylPnpnr2HPIz9j7zVlat8KTT8ZGpglV53rj-psViytYdVayhhRqcLSdX73zF7tAClDDcOQyPCOcHLEg8UUK_blzqeK4_CveesZtNjiwu/s320/IMG_20141231_145240504.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJvX1_RC3k6WHkjgo7VEKHB8nOCuZI-wODeUyPNZaTu41sZNPg5Fbrpacc1kwVtl1MPJ6x_3XI-dAmULNqICqwqujdPCgwo5y7fjUFCrfE1Efz9edHuFLaSzuauajL316irBUMEeeMq0O/s1600/IMG_20141231_145311001_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJvX1_RC3k6WHkjgo7VEKHB8nOCuZI-wODeUyPNZaTu41sZNPg5Fbrpacc1kwVtl1MPJ6x_3XI-dAmULNqICqwqujdPCgwo5y7fjUFCrfE1Efz9edHuFLaSzuauajL316irBUMEeeMq0O/s320/IMG_20141231_145311001_HDR.jpg" /></a>Location: 199 Prince St.<br />

List:<br />
-Little Prince is a quaint, cozy bistro with traditional French fare and modern flavors.<br />
-The ambiance is relaxing with a great neighborhood feel. The service is excellent but not stuffy.<br />
-French Onion Soup Burger ($18, gruyere, caramelized onion, dijon, hand-cut fries) tastes exactly as as would expect - in a very good way: A wonderful marriage of flavors.<br />
-Spaghetti Squash ($8, aged cheddar, brown butter) is creamy and decadent.<br />
-Perfect place for a romantic date!<br />

-The Bao on St. Marks is an outpost of another Chinese eatery, <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/kung-fu-xiao-long-bao-flushing">Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao</a> in Flushing, both known for their xiao long bao, or the Shanghainese soup dumplings.<br />
-Delectable dumplings come in different flavors. From classic varieties like pork and crab to more exciting wasabi spiked ($7.95-$9.95) and even chocolate dumplings ($6.95) are available. The thin, translucent skin creates a great texture.<br />
-There are wide array of dishes that go beyond Shanghainese. Noodles, scallion pancakes, turnip puffs-- we accidentally ordered an unhealthy amount of beige food, but they were delicious nonetheless.<br />
-The Bao may not be the best in the city, but for the convenience of its location, this is a must-visit.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860187097081290435.post-8776950294980632052015-01-06T09:28:00.000-05:002015-01-06T09:28:59.608-05:00Hanamizuki 01-02-2014<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIS2MYpZ4exrli8M9MYX-WKC5le3FU1OHry4LSo9nA_aEFM_WjcHf4tiT98fNPhZXDpLYy0reatx_23Ie1ZV9qIddA-1uZUxwF_1h3kOCRglHNLBnj85V6aRsb4TWw-7bAiAfbjshWExe/s1600/IMG_20150102_134604941_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIS2MYpZ4exrli8M9MYX-WKC5le3FU1OHry4LSo9nA_aEFM_WjcHf4tiT98fNPhZXDpLYy0reatx_23Ie1ZV9qIddA-1uZUxwF_1h3kOCRglHNLBnj85V6aRsb4TWw-7bAiAfbjshWExe/s320/IMG_20150102_134604941_HDR.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG4fRPbgLpG4A3KUlAoSZavlzRMdoRagxmfu3imi1Wz3dAY4lM4cAKQzmwciZ0AAXWcdFrf565jvAgAUp2kbgq6F5LfNocGUwg44SqCsLod3FDVpOjV1dTsL1oR8wTf-gfAMGSKJGPajtf/s1600/IMG_20141230_114043071.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG4fRPbgLpG4A3KUlAoSZavlzRMdoRagxmfu3imi1Wz3dAY4lM4cAKQzmwciZ0AAXWcdFrf565jvAgAUp2kbgq6F5LfNocGUwg44SqCsLod3FDVpOjV1dTsL1oR8wTf-gfAMGSKJGPajtf/s320/IMG_20141230_114043071.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLjHlQ-BUbHwbMQqXeueJnhzh8IeV46oGMIKdqz_gse32SzDrFUXacif4HQK3shQk4naFw_TTr2UQNiOGQBbezhvPAgSqCCqdsonWEMKk38KdsLdLou-Bb4Eba44P7u03AKQiz5Gj4KXdK/s1600/IMG_20141230_120215047_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLjHlQ-BUbHwbMQqXeueJnhzh8IeV46oGMIKdqz_gse32SzDrFUXacif4HQK3shQk4naFw_TTr2UQNiOGQBbezhvPAgSqCCqdsonWEMKk38KdsLdLou-Bb4Eba44P7u03AKQiz5Gj4KXdK/s320/IMG_20141230_120215047_HDR.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHoTAtYsLB8Q9qeQdty9MxMP_fuVVwp2ICIO6fE1oALQHkPmY65WBse4K73-mPfZoR-cyaS7GXjvSmOWxPdZkUsN3uXkrri9xMOpfvc6_kpkHVxizawYXngeDM-O_u0Dt5qfIPpMXau0vJ/s1600/IMG_20141230_120819861.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHoTAtYsLB8Q9qeQdty9MxMP_fuVVwp2ICIO6fE1oALQHkPmY65WBse4K73-mPfZoR-cyaS7GXjvSmOWxPdZkUsN3uXkrri9xMOpfvc6_kpkHVxizawYXngeDM-O_u0Dt5qfIPpMXau0vJ/s320/IMG_20141230_120819861.jpg" /></a>Location: 143 W 29th St.<br />

List:<br />
-Hanamizuki means dogwood flowers, and it's also the title of a popular Japanese song that inspired a film with the same name.<br />
-This humble yet modern and beautiful place seems out of the place on gloomy 29th street.<br />
-They specialize in rice balls--from traditional Japanese style to something more unique like "Italian" ($2.5, salami, black olive, caper and fresh pepper corn).<br />
-There are four types of miso soup. If you are more culinarily adventurous, B.L.T. ($4 bacon, lettuce, tomato and black pepper) gives you the new meaning of miso soup.<br />
-Lunch Combo is a great deal. At $10.50, you can have two rice balls of your choice, miso soup, sozai (souzai, appetiziers/side dishes) and Japanese pickles.<br />
-For dessert, excellent Japanese chiffon roll cake, cookies, and black sesame creme brulee are available. La Colombe coffee and Paromi tea are served here too.<br />

RB has been making bento for CK and I since the beginning of the school year. Yes, every single day. His adorable "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyaraben">Kyaraben</a>" has been featured on NHK's Worker's Lunch ("<a href="http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-culture/salameshi-tv-program-about-working-peoples-lunches-nhk">Salameshi</a>"in Japanese)!

Time: 1pm<br />
People: RB, CK and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-City Grit's Sarah Simmons' newest Southern-style restaurant, Birds and Bubbles pairs up fried chicken and Champagne, as the restaurant name depicts.<br />
-If you are not a fan of bubblies, do not worry, they have plenty of cocktails, wine and beer along with great coffee by Counter Culture.<br />
-In a narrow maze-like setting, the place remains posh with a mixture of Lower East Side un-fussy vibe.<br />
-Fashion girls can have their drinks of choice, Champagne, while nibbling on egg dish from the brunch menu.<br />
-Shakshuka ($13, poached eggs, san marzanos masala, feta, sally lunn toast) unfortunately had some egg shells in it but creamy and tasty nonetheless.<br />
-Sugar biscuits, butter milk biscuits, and home made pop tart were all buttery and excellent.<br />
-"Chicken Tender Basket" ($14, with Spicy Sorghum Mustard ) was crispy and plentiful, and the dipping sauce was a good compliment.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860187097081290435.post-9150870664562849592014-12-23T12:02:00.001-05:002014-12-23T12:02:17.913-05:00Wilma Jean 12-20-2014<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTHTO0ua9cHG_tqAwyETKHnt3Bq4XSkIXDXMb2WVMfHS3mXX-QETPGqeoGL-uZm4RDjkDaAng9MybDxjVyY5rq0RK7u1n-sBVXGiKjIHfobJju-JcCP3vQTcqT3jFcbjzdyq1rESBPZzBb/s1600/IMG_20141220_144723610_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTHTO0ua9cHG_tqAwyETKHnt3Bq4XSkIXDXMb2WVMfHS3mXX-QETPGqeoGL-uZm4RDjkDaAng9MybDxjVyY5rq0RK7u1n-sBVXGiKjIHfobJju-JcCP3vQTcqT3jFcbjzdyq1rESBPZzBb/s320/IMG_20141220_144723610_HDR.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKg4-jJUzK0s5o-7UTqZksvezMuKpWcVxpSox1YvXm0k1cfLtHq5YREY_BToPyztxYKre_3mbA4sFmVaYFuy_f2iIt9tu-3JEBGDlX1lg8Ap9gqNt6lT6c77vEwwrXo_gRg8yY7xLpAJtG/s1600/IMG_20141220_144800152.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKg4-jJUzK0s5o-7UTqZksvezMuKpWcVxpSox1YvXm0k1cfLtHq5YREY_BToPyztxYKre_3mbA4sFmVaYFuy_f2iIt9tu-3JEBGDlX1lg8Ap9gqNt6lT6c77vEwwrXo_gRg8yY7xLpAJtG/s320/IMG_20141220_144800152.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AU3mtMIPyzE8WTS5Y6fImKzsi5n3uYsp6BBhlNJeEhjBtBfweH6z2w0NsyNXYGXjlmKsBq-797kl_2QEiGz4ZCe0_x7GSm1mVnlaJdWyON8jxhCgRq41PFqfV8hmetyi36ADoDRG7cTU/s1600/IMG_20141220_144840285_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AU3mtMIPyzE8WTS5Y6fImKzsi5n3uYsp6BBhlNJeEhjBtBfweH6z2w0NsyNXYGXjlmKsBq-797kl_2QEiGz4ZCe0_x7GSm1mVnlaJdWyON8jxhCgRq41PFqfV8hmetyi36ADoDRG7cTU/s320/IMG_20141220_144840285_HDR.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvyY0ybcuGd5WAzdoYO6IYNuV1bkbICubZkXx4p-bsIbsnW66QsUMRkNCDIkx50Zi-Bhjt79BcFwoHRHpooFi9gKzgx17SmN6ZYlTjMEAMkNsE3pdGSh1ubpu3uQvEqTtn_I2Kq74RrJgG/s1600/IMG_20141220_145024587_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvyY0ybcuGd5WAzdoYO6IYNuV1bkbICubZkXx4p-bsIbsnW66QsUMRkNCDIkx50Zi-Bhjt79BcFwoHRHpooFi9gKzgx17SmN6ZYlTjMEAMkNsE3pdGSh1ubpu3uQvEqTtn_I2Kq74RrJgG/s320/IMG_20141220_145024587_HDR.jpg" /></a>Location: 345 Smith St. BK<br />
Time: 2:30pm<br />
People: RB, CK and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-Fried chicken, tater tots, craft beer, and Southern hospitality, enough said.<br />
-The owner also runs Nightingale9 and the former occupant, Seersucker.<br />
-Wilma Jean is more casual with communal tables and friendly service. The menu is far more simple compared to Seersucker.<br />
-Brooklyn kale lovers, new veggies are in town. Salad Bowl of raw collard and roasted peanut ($7) is fresh and perfect for those who are tired of kale salad. Okra chips (4) has interesting addictive nature of texture and lingering flavors.<br />
-Chicken Dinner ($14, half chicken, 1 side, coleslaw and roll) is incredibly crispy and moist. May very well be the best fried chicken in town.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860187097081290435.post-24911511474439025742014-12-16T11:12:00.001-05:002014-12-16T11:12:26.919-05:00The 2014 Ramen and Friends Awards! 12-16-2014<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Welcome to the 5th annual 2014 Ramen and Friends Awards!

Location: 25 Cooper Sq.<br />
Time: 12:30pm<br />
People: RB, CK and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-"A new spot on the ground floor of newly renovated Standard Hotel in East Village"--would usually attract the certain types of clientele, especially non New Yorkers who seem to have been on the Millionaire Matchmakers several times. However, Narcissa is something more than a "scene."<br />
-Warm, inviting staff ensures that you are comfortable with quality service.<br />
-With wooden tables and open kitchen, it is quite casual and humble, which is really the real, current trend, isn't it?<br />
-Dovetail's Michelin starred chef, John Fraser, creates a unique, many vegetable focused dishes.<br />
-"French Toast Bites" ($7) is a must for brunch.<br />
-"Egg White Frittata" ($15, spinach, shiitake, fontina, tomatoes) is excellent and flavorful but a bit overdone.<br />
-"Skillet Burger" ($18, guacamole, manchego, watercress) is large and flavorful, if not a bit too messy for such a nice environment.<br />

<br />
List:<br />
-Naturally gluten-free Venezuelan dishes, patacon sandwiches (meat stuffed in fried and flattened plantain cakes) can be found at this casual takeout spot.<br />
-Founded in 2005, a popular food truck now has outposts in LES and Elmhurst.<br />
-Amazing service-- to the point that an annoying customer who talked endlessly about the lack of dates meant nothing to us, thanks to their lovely customer service.<br />
-Mix Patacon ($9, with two meats with fried queso blanco, green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and salsa verde), with chorizo and steak was a big hit!<br />
-There are arepas, cachapas, pepitos as well as delicious patacones.<br />
-Vegetarian Cachapa ($8.75, black beans, avocado, queso blanco, sweet yellow plantains and salsa verde in sweet corn cakes) is filling and just plain, plantain wonderful, full of sweet and salty flavors.<br />
-On weekends, they are open until 2am, perfect for late night cravings sans bread.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860187097081290435.post-51453705615702131152014-11-22T18:08:00.005-05:002014-11-22T18:11:21.710-05:00Osaka Eats! 2014<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Time: 12:30pm<br />
People: FA, AP and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-Two British spots inside the William Hotel in Murray Hill: The Peacock, a refined restaurant with the 19th century English gentleman's club decor, and The Shakepeare, the 16th century style rustic pub in the basement.<br />
-At the more grown-up spot, The Peacock, I found myself to be the only woman among stylish business men during this bustling business lunch hour . But I did not feel uncomfortable at all due to their exceptional service.<br />
-From warm scotch eggs to rabbit pies, classic British fare can be found here.<br />
-The best part is the puddings ($11) and tea ($7 for pot) served in a beautiful tea set: Sticky toffee with date with rum sauce is excellent.

Time: 4:30pm<br />
People: RB, CK and myself<br />
<br />
List:<br />
-Ramenritto by Presstea, an adorable cafe in West Village, might be the best dish of the year.<br />
-We saw ladies enjoying high tea: biscuits, scones..and ramenritto. Such a view.<br />
-I like the combination of ramen and tea shop already, but the Zucchini Ratarouille Ramenritto Bowl ($12, in-house made ratatouille, aioli, cheese, corn salsa, mango salsa, mixed greens and pickled cucumbers) is an epic dish. Even on the second day, it was tasty.<br />
-Sun Noodle's Hawaiian-style noodles is made to order, so expect some wait.<br />
-Pickled English cucumbers add crispy textures and refreshing flavor.<br />
-Pulled Pork Ramenritto ($9, in-house made pulled pork, cheese, corn salsa, mixed greens and pickled cucumbers) is decadent and wonderful.<br />
-What a way to make a burrito even unhealthier and delicious! What makes it even more lovable is that Presstea specializes in tea, not noodle-filled goodness. I suppose if they are good at blending their tea, they can create the best flavors in town.<br />
