I’m on vacation in NYC, hence the slowdown of posts. Foodwise, I’ve had:
- A corned beef sandwich on rye with mustard at Katz’s, which, I’m sorry to say, was better than the corned beef I make at home.
- Some sort of rice and red bean pastry from a Chinese bakery in Nolita. It was covered in sesame seeds, slightly crisp on the outside, and chewy on the inside. The pastry was filled with sweet red bean paste.
- An H&H bagel with cream cheese and Scottish lox, which is almost as good as Norwegian lox. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a proper, boiled bagel, rather than a bun with a hole in it. I recommend the pumpernickel bagel.
- Chocolate cake at My Most Favorite Dessert Company.
- Perfectly grilled, rare lamb chops at Blair Perrone steak house, courtesy of my sister and brother-in-law (thanks, guys!).
Other than eating, I’m doing the usual New York City thing—museums, shows, taking photos of buildings like a crazed tourist.
That’s about all the news that’s fit to print. I’m going to go polish off the rest of my corned beef sandwich for breakfast.
