So the blog has been on a bit of a break due to the holidays and being out of town. However, we spent the new year in New York and were able to hit some great culinary hot spots.
A Salt & Battery: The pinnacle of Fish and Chips here in the States. These guys beat Bobby Flay on Throwdown but even more important than that, they support a proper football club, The Arsenal. We had the Cod, Haddock and Chips.
Dean & Deluca: I'm a Starbucks junkie but this was the place to go for coffee when in Manhattan. The coffee was great and they have a great selection of pastries that are brought in from local bakeries all over the city. We went here 3 mornings of our 4 day trip.
Ping's: We ventured to Chinatown in search of authentic Chinese dim sum. This was definitely an experience as the menu had very little English and we were the only non-chinese at the restaurant ( It was an Anthony Bourdain moment). All the food was great but the vegetable fried rice was the standout; by far the best fried rice I have ever had.
Patzeria Pizza: After standing in 15 degrees for 6 hours waiting on The Ball to drop we had a bit of an appetite. We hit this pizza place just off Time Square for a couple of slices of sausage & tri-pepper pizza. The advice I received was true: " just try the pizza, anywhere, it's all good". Amazingly it really was.
