Yummy Saturday - New York City Style

Whenever we get the chance to travel to NYC, we always try to make it a point to try as many different foods as we can. A few years ago we went down, and did a few fancy restaurants. On our most recent trip, we really wanted to try something different, and some NY essentials!


You shouldn't go to New York City without trying an authentic boiled bagel! We picked up a few at 'Bagel Hole' in Brooklyn. I have (honestly) had dreams about these bagels since we arrived home.


One night we went out for simple NY Style, Brick Over Pizza - It was Amazing! We walked here from the apartment we were staying in, and had such a perfect dinner. Their Calamari was excellent too -


Okay, it was the best Calamari I've ever had!

This was the Best! This is some Oaxacan Food (Think really southern Mexico). We ordered the Chicken Mole Negro. On top of it being out of this world delicious, we had it delivered to us! By a man, on a bike, in the pouring rain! Don't worry, I tipped him well! ;)


This ruben sandwich and salad greens was a quick lunch we picked up during the day we spent at the American Museum of Natural History (That blog post coming soon!).

On one of our last nights, Our friends Jackie and Ian took us to 'Rice To Riches'! A restaurant that sells, literally, nothing but rice pudding. I don't have any pictures of our different rice puddings, but I do like the above photos of the almost futuristic containers and spoons they serve the pudding in!

I could blog for days just about the food in NYC! Anything you like to eat, you can find it there. To see more photos like these from New York, Head on over to Someday Smarter!! Stephanie has also recently returned from a trip to New York, and posted about all the great food she had a chance to try!

Do you like trying and finding new foods when you travel or go on vacation? Or would you just prefer to have food that you're used to and eat more often?

No, Sleep, Till



Well, our plans are (almost) set! We're headed down to Brooklyn on Monday. We're going by train, which is exciting because I've never traveled anywhere by train before! We booked a super cute little place from Airbnb.com !! (Check out this site if you travel, it's a great way to find fun and unique places to stay in hundreds of cities.) I'm thrilled to be taking my DSLR Camera with me, I cannot wait to photograph a place like New York City.

Since I was already talking about photos, here's a favorite of mine from our last trip to Brooklyn. Taken by our friend, Jackie, in November 2009.
